A member of California's Project Blowed collective with a whip-smart sense of humor, rapper Open Mike Eagle was born Michael Eagle II in Chicago. It was at the Southern Illinois University Carbondale that the aspiring MC became an RA, and after he met Hannibal Buress, the resident advisor and student became fast friends. Grad school took him to the West Coast, where he joined the Project Blowed collective along with the group Thirsty Fish. In 2010, he went solo on Mush Records with Unapologetic Art Rap, an album that featured college bud Buress along with left-field MCs like Busdriver and Serengeti. Rappers Will Die of Natural Causes followed a year later on the Hellfyre label; then he collaborated with producer Awkward and issued 4NML HSPTL on Fake Four in 2012. The Mello Music group released the aptly titled Dark Comedy in 2014, the same year that Eagle submitted a track to The Ron and Fez Show, which the satellite radio talk show duo soon picked up as their theme song. He stuck with Mello for 2016's Hella Personal Film Festival, an album recorded with U.K. producer Paul White. Solo effort Brick Body Kids Still Daydream followed a year later, with EP What Happens When I Try to Relax arriving in 2018.

Gotobeat Presents Dews Pegahorn At Rough Trade Nottingham Dews Pegahorn describes his authentic artistic voice and expression in three words: ”danceable manic depression.“ Dews, born in Stuttgart, is a German-African rock musician with roots in Madagascar and Angola, whose musical journey began early in life, inspired by legends like Michael Jackson and shaped by the music of 2Pac. After receiving classical vocal training at a music boarding school and gaining initial experience as the frontman of a rock band, he developed his unique style - marked by melancholic guitars, wild drums, and atmospheric vocals. Dews Pegahorn embodies raw energy, radical authenticity, and the courage to push boundaries. With a mix of deep emotion and explosive stage presence, he creates a one-of-a-kind connection with his audience. Gotobeat 14+ (under 16s with adult)

To celebrate the release of her debut album ‘Inheritance’, Lace Thief will be performing the album live with her full band for a hometown headline show on 25th April at Rough Trade, Nottingham. Emerging from a story of loss, Inheritance holds onto the memories of loved ones and follows the reverberating impact they have even after parting ways. The album explores the parts of ourselves we inherit from the people around us and how in a beautifully circular way they continue to live through us and us through them. Lace Thief's work has previously been described as ‘dreamy-alt rock’ with ‘pure folk’ undertones and ‘layers of instrumentation and harmonies’ with a voice that's ‘crisp intensity demands attention’. Presented by Rough Trade. 14+ (Under 16s with Adult)

I’m Not From London Records are proud to present ‘Dusty 4 Track’s ‘How Did I Get Here’ the long awaited album launch. Dusty 4 Track is a band forever chasing connection the old fashioned way through sweat, song, and the open road. Their album is a collection of songs amalgamated from two different side projects. Will’s songs, most written or inspired by ideas found on an old four track and Ben’s, a collection of songs written a while ago and gathering dust whilst he was trying to form a band to play them. Whilst drinking and chatting about their projects the idea of forming a band together was born! 'How Did I Get Here' the lead track and album name describes literally ‘waking up on the wrong side of someone else's bed’. Singles; The Garden about leaving a toxic relationship. Paper To The Flame about the power and destructive seduction of lust. In short the album is a visceral nostalgic ode to the swan song of debauched youth. Support comes from Ronnietoldus refreshing take on conscious observational Uk hiphop and incredibly accomplished original blues from Jinda Biant, Notts answer to BB King!

Coming-of-age stories told through a modern gaze, DREW THOMAS grew up on music channels, scratched CDs, and the glow of a TV left on too late. Inspired by the turn of the millennium. A grit-pop revolution lives in that in-between space. Drew's songs unpack sexuality, hiding your feelings, and the familiar moment of falling out with the bathroom mirror. Rock music shaped by early-noughties honesty, written for anyone who grew up feeling out of place, still learning how to love themselves and the journey that comes with it. After moving to the capital and cutting his teeth in tiny UK bars, Drew now owns festival stages, previously appearing at Reading & Leeds, The Great Escape, Y Not Festival, and Sweden’s Future Echoes, alongside sell-out shows in Nottingham and London respectively. Following 2025’s acclaimed Watershed EP, Drew steps into his next era with confidence, cementing his place as a modern LGBTQ+ artist. Breakout single “Girls Like Girls” went viral, pulling in over 2 million Instagram views alone, while “Do They Even Know You” earned BBC Radio 1 plays, along with spins across Amazing Radio, Total Rock and various online radios around the world, and named one of Dean Jackson’s BBC Introducing Most Played Artists of 2025.
