Join us at Rough Trade Nottingham for Revenge of Calculon’s CASINO FIGHT! EP launch party! Full live performance and signing with support from Nottingham’s beatboxing rapper and hip-hop legend Motormouf.

Limited edition copies of the EP on 10” translucent purple violet and a complimentary Calculon casino chip available on the night.

Funkatronic Luchadors Revenge of Calculon bring a big dose of lo-fi beats, sleazy bass grooves and enough old fashioned synth squelch to satisfy even the most hungry of space funk explorers.

Their space-funk adventures have seen them release a bumper collection of 7” vinyl and their debut LP MANIPULATOR, launched in 2024 at Rough Trade records Nottingham and Lucky Records Reykjavik, receiving regular airplay on BBC introducing shows. Their live shows have included some weird appearances at ComicCon, Sci-fi London festival, some random dude’s yard party, and their now legendary annual shows at Iceland Airwaves festival.

They recently appeared on the IS THIS WHAT WE WANT?, “12 tracks of silence” anti-AI protest LP alongside Damon Albarn, Public Service Broadcasting, Kate Bush and Mystery Jets.

“Funky electronic vibes mixed with gritty synth riffs, like some 1970s sci-fi movie soundtrack - LEFTLION MAGAZINE

“Revenge of Calculon pump out a steady stream of mouth puckering funky beats, where have I been all these years?” - REYKJAVIK GRAPEVINE

“Huge gravel-coated electro synth pop” -LOUDER THAN WAR

“Cool lo-if electro reminiscent of Money Mark” -BROOKLYN VEGAN

**Picture drums, microphones, tangles of wires, and horn players filling a homestead kitchen. Born in the buzz of it all, ‘frank dean and andrew’ launches Ebi Soda’s next chapter. Moving on from the peeling bedsits of their early years, their musically lawless jams took up temporary residence in a rented nine-bed farmhouse, allowing for unimpeded sessions, driven by the full force of their now six-strong outfit, with new permanent member Dan Gray. Having carved out their name as jazz subversives amongst the exploding UK scene, Ebi Soda are returning to a “more DIY approach - except on a bigger scale.”**

**Fright Years**

**Plus Supports To Be Announced**

Indie newcomers Fright Years head to Nottingham on Friday 27th February for a headline show at Rough Trade.

2025 has been a breakout year for Fright Years. From a euphoric set at TRNSMT Festival in Glasgow to a BBC Introducing session at Maida Vale, the Scottish indie-rock four-piece have quickly established themselves as one of the UK’s most exciting new acts. With regular BBC Radio 1 airplay, TV placements and a run of sold-out Scottish headline shows, the band are fast earning a reputation for turning raw emotion into widescreen, heart-swelling anthems.

Built around frontwoman Juliette Kelly’s commanding voice - powerful, dynamic, and unflinchingly honest - Fright Years craft emotive, cinematic indie rock that feels both intimate and immense.

Their debut EP, Still Life, recorded with acclaimed producer Theo Verney (Lime Garden, English Teacher), earned critical acclaim for its honesty and ambition. Centred on Juliette’s reflections on loss and grief, the record transforms deeply personal experience into something universal and cathartic. Its standout track, “Stars”, has become a fan favourite – a beacon of resilience that captures exactly what Fright Years do best: melancholy wrapped in melody, heartbreak turned into hope.

Having shared stages with Overpass, Ellur, and Twin Atlantic, the band have honed a sound that shimmers with emotion and surges with scale. With new music slated for autumn/winter 2026, Fright Years are set to embark on their biggest headline tour to date, bringing their soaring sound and emotional intensity to stages across the country marking the next thrilling chapter in their ascent.

**Citizen Live Presents**

**Micah P. Hinson**

After a period of deep personal and artistic transformation, Texas troubadour Micah P. Hinson returns to move his audience with Oh, Sleepyhead. The new single, out June 13th on all digital platforms via Ponderosa Music Records, available for pre-save and radio rotation, previews his upcoming album The Tomorrow Man, due this fall.

Written during one of the most intense and vulnerable moments of his life, the song is a response to an inevitable inner change. Oh, Sleepyhead tells the story of breaking free from a suffocating reality, overcoming fears, and the painful but necessary path toward a new kind of freedom. In some ways, it marks a sharp departure from his traditional introspective style, featuring the Benevento orchestra conducted by Raffaele Tiseo, which gives it a partially band-like sound.

“When I wrote this song, my life was changing drastically, day by day,” says Micah P. Hinson. “The things I cared about were shifting. What once felt like love became control. It was a time of great confusion but also awakening, and this song symbolizes that moment: the end of one phase and the beginning of another. The freedom to find a new day, a new way to live, and the pain of leaving old lives behind. We can only be prisoners of our lives if we allow it, but yes, like most things in life, change has a price and freedom has consequences.”

The single invites reflection on the value of personal freedom and the strength needed to leave behind what no longer belongs to us. With intense sounds and authentic lyrics, Oh, Sleepyhead becomes the voice of those who have the courage to change, even when it hurts.

After two dates scheduled for late summer, Micah P. Hinson will return next fall with THE TOMORROW MAN TOUR 2025, a tour hitting some of the most important European venues, including stops in Italy. A unique opportunity to present the new album live.
