Damn You! are a group of young (ish) people who promote music of a certain spirit in Nottingham. The idea is to put on music we like and to use a variety of different venues - pubs, bars, houses, community halls, practice rooms, warehouses. We pick a line up designed to make the evening enjoyable and try to keep the price as cheap as possible. How much you pay on the door is a reflection of how much money the band is asking for and how much our other costs are. If we fluke it and come away at the end of the night with some money (always at the behest of the band) then that cash is recycled back into Damn You! to pay for future stinkers, improve our p.a. or to buy us a shitload of cheap foreign booze. We cook dinner for bands (specialities - aubergine parmigiana, spinach and tofu pie, ginger vegan cheesecake), make lovely posters (for sale at all the gigs) and provide a floor for bands to sleep on. We don't bite, so come and say hello.

BUY TICKETS
You can buy tickets for most Damn You! gigs in person from Selectadisc in Nottingham or from Wegottickets.com or you can get them direct from us at a gig or via paypal. Some of the upcoming shows in 2009 will be pay-on-the-door only. Send us a message if you need more info.
Please do not send us MySpace messages about putting on your band...
We are yet to put on a band we didn't know who contacted us through Myspace. Sorry but that's the way it is, we get so many messages through this thing that we're forced to ignore them or we'd just suffocate under the weight of them all.
If you are local, come to one of our gigs and say hello, it really is that simple. Be friendly and we'll hook you up with a gig.
Alternatively, if you are touring please contact us via our website - www.damnyou.co.uk or email us at dynotts(AT)gmail(DOT)com (replace the AT with @ and the DOT with a dot)

Apparently this nicked the night you wanted, but there's no point not being friends with someone there's no point not being friends with, so you should come dahn.
Machinefabriek is amongst the finest experimental/electronic artists of today. His ultra-prolific back catalogue showcases his ability to perfect classical ambience, organic drone soundscapes, electronic minimalism and cathartic noise. He is hailed as one of the most interesting new experimental musicians by the Wire magazine.
Xela is the shady, underworld atmospheres and improv horrors of John Twells, owner of Type Records. "Xela has always been able to pre-empt the shifting tides of electronic music and deliver a statement that's definitively of its time” (Boomkat).
His debut album Navigare soon to feature on the Miasmah label, Simon Scott is set to be a household name in conceptual music. Simon is the former Slowdive drummer, co-producer of Televise, producer of Seavault, and owner of KESH Recordings label.
We've never been able to quite pin down exactly what it is that The Hunter Gracchus do, which is a wonderful thing. A shifting unit with Syed Kamran Ali, Fiona Marshall and Jon Marshall at the core, they have recently settled into a fairly stable unit of six, but it's hard to know how long that'll last. Still, while it does, it's producing all manner of magical and highly unexpected performances. The one captured here was recorded at the band's practice room cum gig space, Fagin's Hideout/The Furniture Makers and is a less blistering freakout than some of their recent output, preferring to quietly explore every nook of tonal space. It simmers rather than erupts and, the longer you become immersed in it, the less aware you become of the passage of time. It's a recording that feels like it should go on forever and, when it does come to a close, the silence is shocking. In a time when it's all too easy for a group of improvisers to just go full-tilt in some euphoric pursuit, the Hunter Gracchus provides us with a glowing alternative that draws us slowly in and drowns our senses. This is truly awesome.
Peeesseye I Woke Up and Drank a Bottle of Cheap Kojak CDR
Peeesseye made the scene at Dylan Nyoukis's Colour Out of Space festival last summer and hopped over to Manchester to play a show at the Town Hall Tavern, the recording of which forms the content of this incredible slab of dense droning harmonium, scraping, buzzing, subtly soloing guitar and pulse-free, scatter-drumming. We can't recommend this enough. Limited to 80 copies.
This beautiful super-heavyweight LP, which comes packaged in a sweet full-colour sleeve reunites the UK's premier free drummer Alex Neilson, who's played, amongst others, with Motor Ghost, Directing Hand, Trembling Bells, Tight Meat Duo, Josephine Foster, Bonnie 'Prince' Billy, Jandek, MV&EE, Richard Youngs, Baby Dee and Alastair Galbraith, with Nmperign member Greg Kelley, whose reinvention of the trumpet is as crucial now as Anthony Braxton's reinvention of the sax was 30 years ago. A screeching, soaring, scattergun array of noises come maniacally out of Greg's horn, unlike anything we've ever heard and he successfully straddles no wave, concrete and free jazz in a way that makes those genres seem like trite pigeonholes.
