Midnight Rodeo

Nottingham-based Midnight Rodeo are a collective of five close friends who met on the city’s live circuit. Signing with FatCat Records in 2022, they’ve released four singles to date, and now have their debut album, Chaos Era, ready to go. The songs are collaborative efforts. Their different musical backgrounds result in a genre criss-crossing and totally unique creative collisions. Bassist Harry says, “What we do is Dada-istic. The drums play hooks, the bass plays parts usually taken by brass, the guitar’s playing West Coast psyche over disco rhythms.” Just like the band’s live performances, Chaos Era is packed with a palpable joy. The exhilaration of creation in each others company. Its punchy production is most definitely meant to be played loud.
