No Cigar

On 28 November 2026, NO CIGAR bring their psychedelic‑tinted rock to The Bodega Nottingham. Formed in New Zealand in 2019, the band craft narrative songs carried by melodic guitars and unhurried mid‑tempo grooves. They first surfaced with Tickets To Space at the end of 2019, a calling card that set the tone: warm arrangements, hazy textures and melodies that wander without rushing.

In 2020, the Radical Road EP refined the blend, leaning into alternative rock with psych colours and a rhythm section shaped for movement. The group built it up on the New Zealand circuit, from club stages to festivals. September 2022 saw the release of Bienvenido, a debut album that threads stories of relationships, travel and snapshots of urban life into a cohesive flow.

On stage, NO CIGAR stitch these chapters together, moving from the early spark of Tickets To Space through Radical Road to the deeper shades of Bienvenido. Seen at events like Rhythm and Vines and That Weekend back home, they carry a set thought for live rooms while keeping the intimacy that runs through their studio work.
