I'm Not From London presents... Captain Dangerous, for one night only!
To celebrate 13 years since the album 'The Empire Never Ended' (recorded at their old practice room - JT Soar) and 20 years of I'm Not From London, the Old Cold Store hosts a very special nostalg-esque gig for any fans of Captain Dangerous. They were the first signing to the label and are all very dear friends. For those of you who were there for the Rescue Rooms launch and the band in general, Captain Dangerous were the quintessential indie pop band for Noughties Nottingham. Known for their wonky yet heartbreaking pop ballades with firm nods to Pavement and Blur glued together with bombastic orchestral arrangements.
Violinist Rob Rosa now heads up Symphonica but is bringing his 12 piece string ensemble and for once in a very very long time, each one of the band is back in Nottingham. This is very much worth celebrating.
"It's Nottingham's foremost exponents of weirdy/wiggly/left field pop, Captain Dangerous." - ArtRocker Magazine
Captain Dangerous are an explosive five piece art pop band from Nottingham, England. Formed in 2006 by former flatmates Adam Clarkson and Miles Clark whilst at the University of Lincoln and later joined by (former childhood bully of Adam) Mark Houlgate, Rob Rosa and Jamie Elliott,
Captain Dangerous play music with a frothy melange of quirk-pop influences. Listen and you'll hear Pavement, The Cure, The Smiths, Flogging Molly, Arcade Fire, and the Violent Femmes.
"Plenty of Jonathan Richmond style grindings and a pop harmonic approach recalling early Teenage Fanclub and The Wedding Present are to be found via Jarvis for loucheness and fantastic songs." - Bugbear Bookings
"Outrageously catchy melodies" - Mark Riley BBC 6music
