WORLD ATLAS
RED SHOE DIARIES

Wednesday August 4th
Malt Cross

St. James's Street, Nottingham
Doors at 8pm
Free Entry

Brooklyn band World Atlas started in 2006 as a handful of four-track bedroom demos, sketches of songs mirroring stories afforded by the city. The idea culminated in a full ensemble including guest member Fred Thomas (Saturday Looks Good to Me, City Center) on guitar and The Umbrella Girls, who often serve as the group’s hand clappers, back-up singers and tambourine shakers. Their first self-titled EP is a pop atlas steeped in nostalgia and allegory that exudes an aesthetic of a library of weathered books, stolen glances and faded colors. Their instrumentation includes vibraphone, organ, shakers, trumpet and string arrangements taking the music beyond the pop confines of drums, bass and guitar. Infused with boy / girl harmonies and countermelodies the resulting songs depict both innocence and experience. World Atlas fit comfortably into the orchestral pop genre and also draw on earlier pop influences like Donovan, The Smiths, The Velvet Underground and French YéYé. Their first EP is out on Magic Marker Records and work on a full length is underway.

Support comes from Nottingham's Red Shoe Diaries who be playing finely crafted dreamy indiepop in the vein of Belle & Sebastian and The National. They've not played Nottingham in a while, so this will serve as a welcome back from IndieTracks Festival and as a going away party for their upcoming shows at Summer Sundae in Leicester and their debut gig on the continent in Paris.

The Wave Pictures - show confirmed

2010-05-07T18:01:00.011+01:00

Good news! We're well pleased to announce that The Wave Pictures will be coming to Nottingham to play a show on Tuesday June 1st. Here are the current details...

THE WAVE PICTURES

Tuesday June 1st

Spanky Van Dykes

17 Goldsmith Street, Nottingham

Doors at 8pm

Entry is £6 in advance / £7 on the door

The Wave Pictures have been around for ages, but it's only over the last two or three years they've been getting the attention they deserve. With recent releases on Moshi Moshi records they've shown that they're among the best songwriters on the planet today (no shit). With songs mixing heartbreak and humour in equal measure they draw upon influences such as Jonathan Richman and The Violent Femmes and throw in the occasional brain-melting guitar solo on top. On top of their own extensive back catalogue they have also helped contribute to that of such notables as The Mountian Goats, Darren Hayman and Stanley Brinks (Herman Dune).

We've been trying to get them to play for ages - this should be awesome! They got a nice review on Pitchfork this week (if you hold their opinion in high esteem). Check it out here - http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/14183-instant-coffee-baby-if-you-leave-it-alone/.

Broad Street, Nottingham
Doors at 8pm
Entry is £4 on the door (or £3 with a stamped flyer from The Corner Store on April 16th)

Hexicon started as a lo-fi voice/guitar/french horn combo in 2004 and got told they sounded like a junk shop Beach Boys. Red Shoe Diaries write lyrical, catchy songs, broadly categorised as indie‐pop yet with occasional forays into dreamy grandeur and sounds that their five fragile hearts can’t contain. Moustache of Insanity play guitar and casio keyboard and try to make up the rest using whatever they have lying around. They like lots of music.

Here's the poster for the upcoming Telekinesis concert drawn by Alexander Christopher Hale. Marvelous! We're now also co-promoting the show with The Malt Cross and the Nottingham University High Soc. Don't forget your High Soc cards to get money off on the door.

The Rosebuds Out, Thomas J Speight In

2009-09-07T22:26:00.004+01:00

Unfortunately The Rosebuds have had to cancel their support slot for the upcoming Telekinesis show in Nottingham. Apologies to anyone who was looking forward to seeing them, we certainly were. Good news though, Michael Lerner of Telekinesis fame has requested that his good friend Thomas J Speight step in to save the day. He'll be playing some awesome country tinged pop music for us!

DSFAR #32 - Telekinesis

2009-08-24T14:25:00.011+01:00

We've not done a gig in chuffing ages, so we're really excited to announce that we'll be promoting a show for Seattle based band Telekinesis! They've been getting loads of awesome reviews for their debut album 'Telekinesis!', produced by Chris Walla (Death Cab For Cutie / The Decemberists / Tegan & Sara). The band recently signed to the legendary Merge Records in The States and the equally amazing Morr Music over here in Europe, both sure signs of quality. The album is one of the best pop records we've heard this year, sounding like the best bits of The Shins, Death Cab For Cutie and The New Pornographers.

Support for the gig will come from Nottingham's own Red Shoe Diaries and from London is Thomas J Speight.

New Website

2009-02-21T20:54:00.008Z

We decided to change our website from our heavily D.I.Y effort, which was knocked out on Geocities in an hour or so, to a cleaner looking Blogspot template. It's easier to update, actually works and we can use more fancy pictures and stuff. That's always good. Any gig, clubnight or record release updates, we'll post them on here. You'll be diverted here from the original dontstartfeelingallromantic.co.uk domain address.

Hopefully we will actually get some gigs on in 2009. We keep on getting scuppered due to bands or booking agents giving us the slip. We have got stuff lined up though! Keep checking back or subscribe to our blog using the link on the right-hand side toolbar.

Past DSFAR Shows

We will continue to update this list whenever we put on any more shows.

Thanks to everyone who came to these shows. The awesome picture above is of Jens Lekman playing in Lee Rosy's and was taken by Sebastian Ross in May 2008.
