In the meantime, check out some great pics from the awesome Steve Fisher here!

All in all it was a good fun night and a great way to celebrate 35 years of Castle Rock beer/pubs! So I am sure we will be doing it again in the near future!

Finally here is a question for all of you…..

In Sweden this week what did a local church do to try to get more young people to mass???

NMOG continues to bring you a diverse array of events promoting the ‘umbrella’ of goth and alternative music in the East Midlands. BATRONIC is a new clubnight, designed to merge the best of the traditional guitar-based goth music with the electronic ebm/synth/electro subgenres.

LAUNCH NIGHT

Batronic is ‘released’ on the 28th January 2012 at The Maze from 9pm till 3am.

What’s in store? They have LIVE music from…..

The Last Cry
From Brighton, UK. Playing alternative/gothic/alt rock.

Vince Ripper and the Rodent Show
Featuring Ratfink Ex Alien Sex Fiend, Vince Ripper and The Rodent Show are the most spookiest and boneshaking ROCK N ROLL SHOW around! A live DJ and performance act representing classic 50/60′s garage rock n roll and more with a sonic twist and a groovy ghoul a go-go buzz! Be prepared for some madness in the graveyard as Vince Ripper and The Rodent Show bring you 50s and 60s rock & roll, psycho surf, garage, rockabilly, hillbilly horrors, voodoo R & B, insane instrumentals, teenage hell music and vintage global garbage peppered with bizarre old movies, TV ads & radio clips & general echo-fied screaming and 3D visuals. So get ya glasses on…

Music from your resident DJs namely DJ Heathen, DJ Glitterhawk and DJ Daxie Sparkles. With special guests Martin Oldgoth, DJ Gadge Europa, DJ Disco Dolly, Simon York, DJ L8N and DJ Grimly Fiendish.

Unusual name, unusual beer! The “Waggle Dance” is the movement a bee performs to alert the hive to a source of nectar. Wells Waggle Dance Beer is a beautifully balanced, sneakily seductive, golden coloured beer.

Pale ale, Crystal malts, British Fuggle and Golding hops, together with Fair Trade South American honey, combine perfectly to create this delicious golden beer with a superb honey aroma.

We are of course a Castle Rock pub so we also stock a range of ales from their wonderful brewery – including the ever popular Harvest Pale, Screech Owl, Preservation and more.

For those of you who prefer your spirits, we have an extensive range of both top-shelf and standard whiskeys, vodkas, rums and the like, including all the old favourites and some more interesting brands. We also do house doubles with mixer (including energy drink) for just £3, plus Jagermeister, sambuca, tequila and Goldschlager for £2 at all times!

Whatever your sauce, we’ve got something to suit you!

If you’re a Twitterer, you can follow the venue here and keep abreast of upcoming shows, venue developments and whatever other random crap pops into our heads.

Many of the promoters who work with us also use Twitter to keep you up to date with what’s going on in Nottingham’s music scene – check these guys out too!
