To help celebrate Record Store Day Left Lion brings you three of their favourite Nottingham bands, Fists, Cantaloupe and Kagoule.

Fists
By the time they play Fists will have completed a tour of the East Coast of America taking in 5 cities in 5 days, including dates in DC, Boston and New York. After all that globetrotting we are pleased to bring them back for a celebratory homecoming gig. By now you should know the rest - 6 Music faves, various festival appearances including Glastonbury and Summer Sundae, a couple of 7”s, an EP, with an album just around the corner. To put it simply: One of the best bands to come out of Nottingham, ever.

Cantaloupe
The latest signings to one of our favourite record labels, Hello Thor, Cantaloupe feature ex members of the recently defunct Souvaris. Like their previous outfit they are strictly instrumental, but this time they are mixing together elements of krautrock, afrobeat and squelch synth sounds to make insanely catchy and infectious pop music.

Kagoule
In their short time together, Kagoule have already graced the Main Stage at Rock City when they supported Kappa Gamma and Dog Is Dead back in December. Whilst LeftLion recently described their Son EP as, “A mixture of blistering raw power with moments of subtle beauty”. They’re one of the most exciting new bands in the city and we are more than honoured to have them playing for us.
