White Denim, The Soundcarriers at Bodega Social, Nottingham, Thu 02 Jul
There's a buzz around White Denim this evening in the same way as the one generated by The Black Lips two months ago.»
Wild Beasts, Blue Roses at Bodega Social, Nottingham, Fri 02 Oct
The last time Wild Beasts headlined this very same venue (almost two years ago) you could count the number of attendees on the top three frames of an abacus. This evening, however, it's a completely different story...»
Johnny Foreigner at Bodega Social, Nottingham, Mon 05 Oct
When looking back over the impact of Drowned In Sound these past nine years, it's fair to say the site has been pivotal in shaping the careers of several artists along the way. One of those would undoubtedly be Johnny Foreigner...»
The XX at Bodega Social, Nottingham, Wed 07 Oct
It's rare that the words "credible" and "stage school background" find themselves in the same sentence, let alone to one group of people, but London four-piece The XX are something of an unusual prospect...»
Delphic, Two Door Cinema Club at Bodega Social, Nottingham, Thu 29 Oct
French imprint Kitsune Maison have been responsible for some of the most groundbreaking dance-orientated music this side of the Millennium...»
Maps, It Hugs Back at Bodega Social, Nottingham, Sat 31 Oct
Now just a two-piece consisting of Chapman and August Jakobsen, the 2009 version of Maps is more at home within the sweaty confines of a late night club...»
A Place To Bury Strangers, Japandroids at Bodega Social, Nottingham, Fri 06 Nov
If Japandroids haven't exactly enjoyed the most comfortable of trips to Nottingham today, then Brooklyn's A Place To Bury Strangers must have broken the record for the most tiring. Having stepped off a plane from their homeland literally hours before arriving, one could forgive them for being jetlagged and ultimately wanting to get tonight's show out of the way in order to get a good night's rest...»
Dead Confederate, The Kull at Bodega Social, Nottingham, Tue 08 Dec
Hailing from Athens, Georgia, previously renowned in a musical sense for the diverse likes of REM, Neutral Milk Hotel and Mastodon, Dead Confederate occupy such a vast musical landscape that even attempting to pin them down would be a nigh on impossible task.»
The Primitives @ the Bodega, Nottingham, 19/04/10
Eighteen years is a long time, period, never mind when set against the fickle contexts of musical fads and trends. »
Savoir Adore at Bodega Social, Nottingham, Thu 22 Jul
While it would be unfair to suggest Brooklyn duo Savoir Adore are in possession of all the answers, there's no disputing their minimalist, slightly off-kilter and every-once-in-a-while lo-fi excursions around a tune bring a much needed breath of fresh air to an underwhelmed yet exhausted genre... »
Archie Bronson Outfit, The Victorian English Gentlemens Club at Bodega Social, Nottingham, Sun 10 Oct
Despite being on celebrated independent Domino Records pretty much since their conception, its been a long haul for Archie Bronson Outfit in terms of attaining the widespread recognition their melange of styles and sounds so richly deserves.»
Wu Lyf at Bodega Social, Nottingham, Sun 20 Mar
If the impending rise of Brother marked the point where the hype machine jumped the shark in a style more accustomed to the impressive feats of Bob Beamon and Carl Lewis, the anti-hype stance of Manchester's WU LYF seems to have created an air of nonchalance if tonight's poor turnout is anything to go by.»
Cloud Control at Bodega Social, Nottingham, Sat 09 Apr
While comparisons with fellow antipodean exports The Temper Trap are inevitable, Cloud Control are part of a new broom sweeping across Australia's occasionally barren music scene alongside kindred spirits Tame Impala and The Jezebels.»
Puressence, The Cedars at Bodega Social, Nottingham, Sat 12 Nov
Although largely a cult phenomenon here, Puressence continue to flourish overseas, and while recently released sixth LP Solid State Recital came out virtually unnoticed in the UK, the band's status as one of this country's most proficient exports this past decade remains.»
Still Corners, My Sad Captains at Bodega Social, Nottingham, Tue 07 Feb
It's a different, more confident Still Corners standing before us from the band that nervously played a mid-afternoon set to barely a handful of punters at last summer's Latitude...»
Stealing Sheep, Simian Ghost, Pins at Bodega Social, Nottingham, Tue 05 Jun
Having met and formed at Liverpool's Institute For Performing Arts three years ago, it hasn't been a quick and easy process for Stealing Sheep to obtain recognition...»
Kate Nash at Bodega Social, Nottingham, Fri 22 Jun
When Kate Nash announced the arrival of her latest song 'Under-Estimate The Girl' this time last week, the whole of cyberworld seemingly felt the need to voice an opinion...»
