asks do any hard rocking bands fancy a gig in east london-unpaid but free entry- you can borrow amps but need kit-Aug 13th-let me know ASAP-Cheers and be well! Mood: adventurous at 11:49 AM Jul 15view more
Come and get all social networked with us on Facebook. Apparently all the kool kids are doing it these days. FACEBOOK GROUP
Welcome to I'm Not From London. We're a small collective of DIY promoters based in Nottingham, we love live music and want to see more great bands coming to our fair(ish) city. We hope you can make it down to one of our shows!
If you'd like to get involved then drop us a line, we could always use a hand promoting the shows, designing posters or helping out on the door.
__________________________________________________________________
IMPORTANT
Guys and Gals, although we love to hear from new acts wanting gigs we can't always guarantee that we'll get back to you. We get loads of requests for gigs every day and it's very easy for your request to get buried. We do make every attempt to listen to every bit of music that crosses our paths but bear in mind we don't put on gigs every day and when we do we try to ensure that the bands work together so we aren't always going to have a suitable gig for you.
Much better than using MySpace to tout for gigs, why not come down and have a chat with us at one of our shows. Just try and do this early as we're generally incoherant messes by about 10...
If you're from out of town or you're touring then you'll probably have more luck getting through to us by emailing:
Over the years we’ve booked an eclectic mix of acts including:
Blakfish | Hot Bone | Rolo Tomassi | Napoleon IIIrd | Katie Stelmanis | Sleepy Sun | Pulled Apart By Horses | We Vs The Shark | Pink Grease | Lovvers | Great Eskimo Hoax | Bloodgroup | Amusement Parks On Fire | Buen Chico | Tired Irie | Vincent Vincent And The Villains | The Housewives | Curtis Eller | Drive By Argument | That Fucking Tank | Punish The Atom | Pilgrim Fathers | Jonquil | Held By Hands| Six Nation State | We Show Up On Radar | The Post War Years | Basso Loco | Pam Swears | Blue Desert Silence | Chrome Hoof | YouNoGoDie | Benny Ramone | O'lovely Lie | The Big Bang | Little Whores On The Prairie | You Slut! | The Kull | The Recovery | The De Ville Dolls | The Smears | Das Hasselhoffs | Sidearm | Plans & Apologies | Dead Souls | Lawless Sixx | The Acute | Spazzmatics | Left Of The Dealer | Love Ends Disaster | Wayne Zenith | You Judas | The Swarm | Tim McDonald | Ramonastone | Chris McDonald | Foncheros | Stevros | Lo Ego | Chet Weiss | This Is Chris-Martin | Botnik | The Stoatz | Gobsausage | The Pill Queenz |These Monsters | The Promenade Stories | Soft Clocks | Yes My Ninjas | Pill Queens | Copy Haho | Copter | Penny Black | Escapologists | Alem Da Lemda | House Of Brothers | Riddle Of Steel | Gods Chosen Dealers | Sally Murray | Das Ragworms | Overvibe | Sanzen | Deny The Accident | Swound | Battlecat! | La La Lepus | Copter | Curtis Whitefinger | Par Excellence | Russ Clark | Black Vinyl Heart | Hojo | Slinky Jesus | Will Jeffrey | Apples For Faces | Nina Marley | Quartershade | Majik | Alright The Captain | The Atoms | Team Hughes | The Hellset Orchestra | Without Eyes | Nesh | Dave Bishop | Bruce Myres | Bonsai Projects | Dirty Cherubs | The Rutherfords | Good luck Fox | Damp Magic | PLF | Ordo Ab Chao | Cooper | Dirty Tux | Freaky Riverstyx | The Deltarays | Black Lodge | Dust Collectors | Grain | Epoche | Death Of London | Faces For Radio | Throw Stephanie In The Incinerator l The Smell Of Success | Double Handsome Dragons |The Wickets | Dobermann | When People Become Numbers | Old Basford | Not In This Town | Manikin | Ying | JCDecaux | Arrows | The Sixth Circle | Idea #93 | Coda | Satnam's Tash | Ocean Bottom Nightmare Band | The Cusp | Pilgrim Sons | The Dirty Backbeats | Roshan Rai | Fat Digester | TeTsuo | Essex Pub Orgy | Fume | Archetects Of Autumn | Haiki Loki | Den Johnson | Nephu Huzzband | Yonokiero | | Mable's Husbands | Tenderhooks | Made Of Leaves | Midlands Dance Club | Heroes Of Switzerland | Capguns | Liam Bailey | First Blood | Arse Full Of Chips | Dead On Arrival | Mel Gimpsuit | A Threat Remains | Darren Mercer Experience | Drag The Lake | Ape Of Death | King Claw | Bite The Kerb | Spin Spin The Dog | Yunioshi | This Town Needs Guns | Stop Eject | Captain Dangerous | Army Of Flying Robots | David Blazye | El Majestico | Soul Drive | Jake Manning | Alberto Veto | Nuclear Family | Black Lodge | Das Disko! | Spaceships Are Cool | Beyond This Point Are Monsters | Sons On Toil | Defintion Of Ape | Hotpants Romance | A Middle Sex | Model Fighter | Please | The Amber Herd | Fists | Dom Keller | Lisa De Ville | Made Of Leaves | We Are Legion | Stiff Kittens | These Monsters | Cuban Crimewave | Petebox | Spaceships Are Cool | Beck Stacey | Theo | A+E Line | Name In Brackets | Vessels | Trash Fashion | Jimmy The Squirrel | Gnomes Of Zurich | FixItKid | Model Morning | Held By Hands | Pigskin Driver | MaybeSheWill | G.I.Joe | Hiroshima Rocks Around | Satan's Minions | And So I Watch You from Afar | And many many more…
