Whisky Stain - Vinyl EP Launch

Whisky Stain are playing The Grove on Saturday 17 October, and it's a bit of a milestone for them: they're launching their first ever vinyl pressing, a limited-edition collection. If you've never come across them, they're a Nottingham two-piece run by Robert and Luke, and they describe their sound as blues-driven rock. The launch is billed as an intimate performance, so it's a good chance to hear them up close rather than from the back of a larger room.

They've got two support acts on the bill. Hex Undone draw on punk, rockabilly, prog and country, and Crawl Town are a Nottingham proto indie-punk/dance-punk outfit. Between the three, the night should cover a fair bit of ground before the main set.

On the music itself, the duo talk about hymn-crushing hooks, blues-drenched riffs and earth-shaking beats, and the vinyl launch gives you a chance to hear that in the flesh. The record is a limited edition, so if you're into physical formats, it's worth having a look at the night.

Doors open at 19:00 at The Grove, Unit 48 Freckingham St, Sneinton Market, Nottingham NG1 1DQ. Digital tickets are £8.80, which works out to about £8.00 face value plus an 80p booking fee. The night is for ages 14 and over.
