The Paddingtons, The Strand Arcade, Vanlustbäder at The Boat Club, Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, Fri 15 Apr
On first inspections of tonight's bill one would not be castigated for expecting a concoction of twee old time music hall couplets supplemented by the second coming of the Hitler youth. Thankfully a name is just a form of identity, and nothing more...»

The Grates - The Ouch. The Touch EP
Imagine if Karen O had been born and raised in the Australian outback and reared on a diet of damper and vegemite. She would probably have started her singing "career" with something a little jaunty-but-jovial like the country-gal-in-stocks blues of 'Sukkafish'...»
Twinkie - Twinkie
Sounding like Part Chimp on pink diesel, a more prosthetic-centric Big Black or just Huggy Bear with the guitars turned up to 11, Twinkie rip the heart and soul out of all conventional rock school aesthetics and smear it with the black-tarred venom of their own phlegm...»

The Rakes, Battle, Vatican DC at Nottingham Bodega Social Club, Sun 20 Mar

Sounding like Chris TT if he were forced to travel backwards through a waste disposal unit or simply Graham Coxon after graduating with a 2:1 honours degree in Two Chord Toilet Humour, this record is a must have for anyone in need of light relief after overdosing on too much 'Frances The Mute' has led to a mild case of aural indigestion...»

Neils Children, Art Brut at Nottingham Bodega Social Club, Sun 13 Mar
In theory it shouldn't work but as a live spectacle Art Brut are about as exciting as it gets at the moment, and long after the band have packed their gear away and headed back up the M1, Pelham Street is awake with cries of "Art Brut - Top Of The Pops!". Reggie Yates, you have been warned...»
