Fri, Apr 10 · 6:30 PM BST

Rough Trade, 5 Broad Street, Nottingham NG1 3AJ, GB

I've seen Dusty 4 Track several times now at festivals and supporting other bands and love their bluesy, folky sound, and I'm so pleased that they have an album coming out next week, and a headline launch show at Rough Trade!!

Support comes from Jinda Biant, who I've only seen once but was very impressed, and Ronnietodus I believe I have seen once before at a Record Store Day performance last year!

I've set up a group chat for this at:
Dusty 4 Track @ Rough Trade 10/4

Tickets for this are just under £9 in advance, or £10 OTD, available from:

Are proud to present ‘Dusty 4 Track’s long awaited album launch, 'How Did I Get Here’ !!!
FRIDAY 10TH APRIL @ROUGH TRADE (Notts)
Dusty 4 Track are a band forever chasing connection the old fashioned way through sweat, song, and the open road....
linktr.ee/dusty4track
Their album, 'How Did I get Here' is a collection of songs amalgamated from two different side projects. Will’s songs, most written or inspired by ideas found on an old four track and Ben’s, a collection of songs written a while ago and gathering dust whilst he was trying to form a band to play them.
Whilst drinking and chatting about their projects, the idea of

forming a band together was born!
Their first gig was in a local pub. A little bit different to the

slightly larger venues they’d been used to playing in their other
outfits 94 Gunships, HarleighBlu, Spaceships are Cool. A humbling start to their organic journey to getting their music heard by the masses. The old-school way: gigging hard and letting the music speak.
Inspired by troubadours such as Tom Waits and Nick Cave and the blues-tinged bands from the 60’s and 70’s. Lyrics about

debauched youth, loss of love and complicated journeys with inter
woven metaphors and hidden meanings.
“Fruit fly vultures circle last night’s wine becomes today’s first

sin”. 'How Did I Get Here' describes waking up "in the wrong
person’s bed".
“Hard breathing on the bread line, soup won’t need my canines,

fortunes getting nearer” from 'Get Down' is a song lamenting the decline of health services, recorded in their own houses. Mostly in Ben’s little music cave.
Will’s modest, yet enthusiastic approach to recording often lent a

bit of character to the songs. Sending rough vocal tracks recorded
on a battered SM58 for Ben to say "I’ll just use that!" and plugging
his guitar straight into the mixing desk for a rough take but then
using that as it had 'that feel".
Ben, on the other hand, is meticulous in his approach to get the tunes polished for release. His guitar parts played over and over to get the right sound and find the right placement."

You can pre order the limited vinyl on the night for £30:

Tiny Stills & Cheerbleederz @ The Carousel w/ 1 TBC *Bigger Venue*

Sat, Apr 11 · 6:30 PM BST

The Carousel, 25 Hockley, NG1 1FH, United Kingdom, Nottingham, GB

I got a ticket for this quite a while ago but it sold out fairly quickly, so I didn't rush to put it on, however.....

Due to demand this has been moved to The Carousel, so get your tickets quick before it sells out again!!

I'm not sure how I first came about hearing about Tiny Still, but I did somehow probably coming up to 10 years ago now! I was one of the supporters for their 2018 album Laughing Into The Void, so I definitely think I'll be taking the album there to get it signed - I'm actually listed on the credits as a supporter too!

This is a joint headline tour with Cheerbleederz too, who are also excellent, and feature members of Gig Buddy faves Me Rex, Fresh, Happy Accidents and Finish Flag

There's still one support due to be added too!

I've set up a group chat for this at:
Tiny Stills/Cheerbleederz @ The Carousel 11/4

Tickets are under £10 from:
CHEERBLEEDERZ / TINY STILLS

VENUE CHANGE
This gig was originally at JT Soar, but due to high demand, it has been moved to the Carousel.

EFBAS presents...
CHEERBLEEDERZ

A couple of years on from their EXTREMELY memorable double show at JT Soar, Cheerbleederz are coming back to Nottingham, with a new EP:
"They’ve kept all the hallmarks of their sound — zippy hooks, sweet vocals, frenzied guitars — but there’s a confidence here. They’re willing to take risks, play with melody, lean into vulnerability, and just be themselves. It feels grown-up in a good way, without losing the messy, joyful charm" - Joyzine
https://cheerbleederz.bandcamp.com/album/prove-me-wrong
TINY STILLS

They have an album absolutely crammed full of brilliant, super-catchy rock songs. If you want to try one in particular, my current favourite is "Bury Me Under A Palm Tree".
"Anxious indie emo and your new best friends from Los Angeles, CA. Bubble grunge? Pop Punk? IDK we have bigger problems than that." - they themselves

Lande Hekt @ JT Soar with Katie Keddie & Connexion Man

Sun, Apr 12 · 6:00 PM BST

JT Soar, Aberdeen Street, Nottingham, GB

I've seen Lande Hekt a few times, both solo, which this return to Nottingham will be, and unfortunately only once with her old band Muncie Girls.

A great songwriter, it'll be a wonderful gig at JT Soar, and I understand this is already selling well, so is likely to sell out (which is why I've got it on here so early!)

Support comes from two excellent local bands, Katie Keddie who always goes down so well on the group, and Connexion Man who I will imagine will be getting a few extra fans when they play at the 23rd Annual Christmas Covers Party @ The Bodega | Meetup

I've set up a group chat at:
Lande Hekt @ JT Soar 12/04

Tickets are £13.20 from:
Lande Hekt / Katie Keddie / Connection Man

JT Soar and Coffee Beat Presents...
An evening of indie folk featuring..
Lande Hekt (Bristol)

"Lande Hekt has quietly become one of the UK’s best underground songwriters. On her 2021 debut full-length Going To Hell and 2022’s House Without a View, she explored her queer identity, sobriety, and childhood trauma through the lens of heartfelt, conversational indie-pop, which led to spots opening for the likes of Alvvays, Throwing Muses and The Beths. Her new album Lucky Now, written and recorded with producer Matthew Simms (Wire, It Hugs Back), reflects the most mature and confident version of Lande Hekt yet. “I’m not as concerned about how I’m presenting myself,” Hekt says. “I’ve tried to think less about how things are coming across, and just write songs that make me feel connected to myself and what I value.”"
