GIG PREVIEW - NOUVEAU GIGS PRESENTS: THE FROOT '67 WITH SUPPORT FROM MOUSES, 1080 TREES AND FREYA KING







NOUVEAU GIGS  return to Whitley Bay's '42nd Street' on July 14th, bringing you a night of awesome tunes with acts including: Freya King, 1080 Trees, Mouses and the legendary Froot '67.



NOUVEAU GIGS was founded by musician Callum Casey (of Static Blue and Glass Vibes) and local music blogger/writer Sal Wilcox, who felt it was time the coast had its own scene, providing affordable gigs for local acts and music fans.

Kicking off the night is singer-songwriter Freya King, renowned for her soulful vocals and intricate, finger plucked guitar. On the night she will be sharing both old, new and familiar tracks we all know and love.



 Next up is 1080 Trees, a band that indulges in powerful yet  melodic riffs, sating metal fans whilst providing a catchy tune to dance along to.

The main support of the night is the wonderfully wacky Mouses, a lo-fi punk duo. If you hadn't had the pleasure of seeing Mouses,  envisage the love child of Wheezer, Dinosaur Jr and Pavement. After the success of their previous single 'Poison' (click here for review), the band recently secured themselves an exclusive interview  with CLASH regarding their latest track 'Hollywood'.

Track of the Week - Sarajevo - The K's

Merseyside natives The K's kicked off 2018 by announcing that they had been signed to Republic Music Management. With a handful of sold-out headline shows already under their belt, their tongue-and-cheek indie tunes are earning them a loyal fan base and plenty of buzz. Their debut single 'Sarajevo' is an infectiously catchy and utterly charming track. The vocals are akin to a more in-tune Jamie T, giving their witty lyrics a warm ambiance.  The upbeat melody gives a nod to early 2000s indie, but the ferocious riffs and hearty bass lines give it plenty of originality.  The track has already achieved half a million streams on Spotify and it's a sure bet that there's bigger and better things on the horizon for The K's.

Red Rum Club with Support From Tiger Twins, Paradas and Turnstones

Last night Liverpudlian six-piece Red Rum Club enthralled a lively crowd at Leeds' Lending Room. Kicking the night off was Leeds based four-piece Turnstones . Unfortunately, the majority of their set was timid and unimpressive. Their songs were pleasant enough, just very safe sounding, and they looked painfully awkward on stage. However the last two tracks of their set were fantastic -they skyrocketed from blasé to ballsy. They engaged more with the audience and came out of their shells - it was like watching a completely different band. They need to scrap the first section of their set and focus on creating songs like the last two. Up next was local group Paradas . Their front man had a dreamy rock tone, akin to Kings of Leon's Caleb Followill, with an admirable vocal range. His lilting vocals complimented the gritty classic rock inspired riffs, giving their sound a rich depth. Occasionally their riffs were a bit repetitive, so it'd be interesting to see some ...

Gig Review - Double Denim Live Presents: Carnation with support from Life At The Arcade, Defender and Louie James

Double Denim Live returned to Verve Bar in Leeds to host a night of ebullient music from Carnation , Life at the Arcade , Defender and Louie James . Kicking the night off was a solo set from Wakefield singer-songwriter Louie James. James played a range of original and cover songs, showcasing his brand of soulful and sincere tunes. His guitar playing was entertaining, and offered a good variety of riffs and harmonies. All the tracks had their own identity, whilst maintaining a distinct sound for his music as a whole. His greatest strength is his quirky lyrics. Whether he was singing about a 'gravy splash' or annoying a taxi driver when he got 'food on his seat belt', his lyrics possess a candid charm that gave his tracks a witty edge. His cover of Motorhead's 'Ace of Spades' was the highlight of his set. He put a refreshing twist on the rock classic, drawing from early 00s indie influences with the melody and incorporating a chilled blues u...
