The Chase
When: Friday 19th May
Where: Metronome
How much: £10

With a show that’s described as “theatrical and full of showmanship”, this Notts band are bound to entertain at Metronome. Metropolitan and melodic, The Chase's music is a blend of cultural influences that pays tribute to their council estate roots. Brothers Tyler (frontman) and Dion (drums) were born and raised in Notts with Scottish and Caribbean heritage. Their multicultural background inspired and influenced their sound, giving them an edge that mashes Britpop together with uplifting UK indie.
