Live Review: Pinegrove + support (Nottingham, 03/10/16)
At the beginning of this year, American indie rock band Pinegrove released Cardinal. It was put out on Run For Cover records after the band signed to them in late 2015. The snowballing support for Pinegrove hasn’t just seen them gain thousands of Facebook likes, but has translated into almost tangible energy at live shows. […]
Live Review: The Smith Street Band, Apologies, I Have None & Woahnows (Nottingham, 13/07/16)
Woahnows opened up proceedings at a very busy Bodega, providing the crowd with their brand of indie-punk. Their songs are catchy, and they’re musically very tight. Always a load of fun to see live, and they certainly seemed to go down with the audience. Up second were Apologies, I Have None, who don’t make it […]
How To Be In A Band When You’ve Never Been in a Band Before
My first band was formed when I was around 15 years old at a house party. Anyone within our circle of friends who played an instrument was encouraged to bring it along to “jam.” What an awful word and awful way to describe something that is sometimes not awful. The guy whose house it was […]
Live Review: Sorority Noise + Little Bribes (Nottingham, 22/02/16)
Little Bribes kicked things off at a surprisingly busy Rock City Basement. It’s always nice to see a local band doing so well, and even better when they’re actually really good. After building up into “Reboot”, with its catchy riff and raging chorus, the band continued to blast through their songs – with each one […]
Live Review: The Front Bottoms + Kevin Devine (Nottingham, 10/02/16)
Kevin Devine and the Goddamn Band opened up the packed The Front Bottoms headline show to a crowd who seemed relatively disinterested at first. Of course, Kevin is an incredible musician, backed by a great band, and is a master at getting the crowd on side. The first few songs seem to be met by […]
Live Review: Beach Slang + Petal (Nottingham, 22/01/16)
Petal took to the stage at a quiet Bodega and quickly started playing songs from her first album, Shame. Usually a full band affair with touring members including those from Tigers Jaw and Three Man Cannon, tonight saw just vocalist/guitarist Kiley playing the songs solo. She powered through songs such as “Tommy” with huge singalong […]
Live Review: Turnover + support (Nottingham, 16/01/16)
Every time a band like Turnover plays in at The Bodega in Nottingham it gets surprisingly busy, see: The Hotelier, etc, but this show was packed to the walls from the second doors opened. Local band Little Bribes kicked things off with their brand of alt pop-punk/emo and played a ridiculously confident set for a band […]
Looking back at 2015 with… George Gadd (solo / Little Bribes)
Seeing Your Scene chats to Nottingham’s own George Gadd who plays acoustic solo stuff and also fronts emo/pop-punks Little Bribes. How was 2015? It was a whirlwind of emotion but looks like it’s closing out on a high note thankfully! Hopefully next year our country can pull itself together. What was your favourite moment of […]
