Fri 01 Dec 2023This time last year, local Notts heroes George Gadd + The Aftermath gathered their friends for an evening celebrating the music of Weezer, performing their first two albums in full at The Bodega.

This year’s edition saw them join forces with Weird Elements and Los Fatso Libres for a Saturday night of pop punk nostalgia, as they played through the greatest hits of The Offspring, Blink-182 and Green Day. Here’s what went down…

Growing up in the projects of Alameda, California to Eritrea-born parents, artist and activist Kay – who works under the name The Rainbow Prince – has seen the way police brutality and racism takes form on both sides of the pond, having moved to Nottingham six months ago.
