Gig review: Fat Dog at Rough Trade Nottingham

Thu 15 Oct 2026

Fat Dog are no strangers to Nottingham's bigger venues. But how would their trade mark chaotic energy translate to the more intimate setting of Rough Trade's upstairs room? While the moshing was more restricted, we discovered endless dancing, plenty of energy and a room full of people who had come for the same reason: to feel alive through the power of music...

Gig review: Basht. at Rough Trade

Wed 14 Oct 2026

It's hard to find an out-of-town band with so much love for Nottingham as Irish post-punk scenesters Basht. This year alone they have played in our city twice, and plan to go for a hattrick in late October with an appearance at Rescue Rooms. With this admiration, it's obvious why we were so keen to catch their show at Rough Trade as it celebrated the release of one of the best albums of 2026...

Gig review: Madra Salach at Rescue Rooms, with Tanzana

Wed 14 Oct 2026

Madra Salach's first visit to our city was unmissable and never to be forgotten: a melting pot of passion, folk tradition and zeitgeist-defeating songwriting. With Tanzana setting a high bar in support, the collective memory of Rescue Rooms may never be the same...

Gig review: Lake Malice at Rescue Rooms

Mon 12 Oct 2026

Supported by Eville and Chaosbay, Lake Malice arrived in Nottingham for one of the most emotionally charged nights of their current run. The show at Rescue Rooms marked the second-to-last date of the tour, adding an extra sense of significance to the evening. That feeling was heightened by the fact that vocalist Alice Guala was battling illness but continued to perform, downing honey in between each song...

Gig review: Man/Woman/Chainsaw at Rescue Rooms

Fri 09 Oct 2026

Let’s start with a little history lesson. Around the late 2010s, a scene began to emerge based out of the south of London. This was a scene full of experimental and boundary-pushing artists, all based around The Windmill in Brixton. Many young bands cut their teeth at this venue, eventually blowing up into juggernauts of the underground. One of these bands is, incidentally, Man/Woman/Chainsaw. Formed in 2019 by Billy Ward and Vera Leppänen, they have expanded into a sextet of some of the finest musicians in the British Isles. Now, they are taking their critically acclaimed debut album Cannonball on the road - and they stopped at Rescue Rooms to show just how much they can do...

Gig review: Keo at The Level

Mon 05 Oct 2026

Keo are arguably one of the most talked about new bands in the indie scene blowing up in England. Within just a year of releasing music, they have amassed a fanbase of such ferocity and admiration that it would put Swifties to shame. Just a week after releasing their acclaimed and incredibly popular album Put A Smile On For Me, they put on two massive shows at Nottingham’s The Level, pointing towards just how big these lads are going to be...

Gig review: Sports Team at Metronome

Thu 01 Oct 2026

The news this past week has all been about one sports team, one that has been up to all sorts of things, creating chaos in the process. No, this isn’t the biggest scandal in the history of sport, but a chaos brought about by the end of a storming tour. Tonight was the final leg, and, as the cliché goes, you save the best till last. Sports Team’s chaos was being put to good use, better than the  dishonourable chaos that a certain other sports team has been found guilty of…
