7th DECEMBER 2013

One more Nottingham-centric show for 2013, courtesy of our dutiful Hello Thor paymasters! After the debut of "0891 50 50 50" at Stuck On A Name a couple of weeks, ago we're pulling out all the stops to get another one ready for this gig, currently known as "Gustave" for reasons known only to Simmo.

BANG! NEW NOTTZ SHOWS ALERT

Awlright?

So, we're going to break cover and play two shows before the end of 2013 to end our exile as a live band.

They're both in Nottingham (sorry, non-Midlands-based friends) and feature some of our favourite bands and friends:

ON SATURDAY 12th OCTOBER 2013
We shall play this:

And it will be great. It's also Bees Make Honey Creative Collective's official after party for their incredible week of events, Memories of the Future, a pop-up space exploring the relationship between traditional analogue formats & the digital revolution within the independent creative sector. In addition to our lil' gig, there will be...
- A shop & exhibition space for music, photography, books, zines & graphic novels
- A mini 3 seat cinema for moving image work (fiction, docs, music videos & more)
- Analogue & digital workshops
- Live performances
- Pro-active chat
So go and check it out! Here's a F**book event for the gig too.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

ON THURSDAY 21st NOVEMBER 2013
We shall play in support of Grumbling Fur and Health & Efficiency at The Maze. We're super-chuffed to have been asked to do this as it's being organised by our favourite record shop and now events promotions guru, The Music Exchange. Here's a F**book event for this one.

We might even play a new song if you're nice.

Joy!

IT'S ALL GONE QUIET OVER HERE

Dear friends,

Happy late summer sunshine! Sorry about the lack of updates recently. Non-band life has gotten busy over the summer as two-thirds of us are moving house and we're still working out what repercussions this will have for pro-band life. We've also got a backlog of new songs to polish furiously and finish off before we want to start playing regularly again, so that people (and us) don't get too bored of the same ol' sheeeeeeeeeit.

We had thought that this would rule out any pubic appearances in the latter half of 2013, but we have been approached about a very special couple of gigs later this year that we just couldn't say no to. More details will be forthcoming as soon as we're allowed to talk about them...

SATURDAY: LAST GIG O' T' YEAR(?)

Hola!

This is on Saturday 20 July:

Obligatory Facebook is here. Burn The Jukebox's website is here. Wallop!

This will our last gig in London (and probably anywhere else) for the year as we take some time off over the summer and our lives get incredibly complicated in September, then we'll focus on doing some new stuff!

MY GIG WITH MARVIN

Ok fellas, here's the skinny on our next gig:

Good grief! We're delighted to be welcoming back to Nottingham one of our favourite bands:

MARVIN
http://marvin.bandcamp.com/
MARVIN are Emilie, Greg and Fred from Montpellier, France, combining drums, analogue synths, guitars and vocoders. Think Trans Am, Golden, Led Zep, Devo. Part stadium rock, part synth pop, part MAD PARTY VIBEZ. They have been playing 200+ shows a year for the last 5 years all over the world (China?! The Caribbean?!) and it's super exciting to finally have them back in Nottingham.

CANTALOUPE
http://cantaloupe.bandcamp.com/
More synth/guitar/drums action from Nottingham's fourth best, second laziest but first sexiest band. Fresh back from the kind of European tour that gives a man a permanent thousand yard stare, be prepared for tight tropico-sympa grooves and a slightly unsettling air of psychosis.

HANG
Nottingham's hotte$t new band. Transcendental repeato-riffs and primal boogie for fans of all things cyclical.

Tickets will be £5 on the door. This will be part of Chameleon's grand reopening, after they will have been closed to redecorate for all of 11 days! Nick's got a late licence all weekend and there'll be DJs until 3am. Cripes!

See you there xx
