Just before their first North American tour in five years kicks off with back-to-back sold-out shows in LA, Britain’s legendary Sleaford Mods are releasing a brand new EP, Live At Nottz. Recorded live at Nottingham Arena in 2021 during their biggest show ever, it features six fiery, transformative tracks and includes guest appearances from Billy Nomates and Amyl and the Sniffers’ Amy Taylor. Additionally, Sleaford Mods are sharing three electrifying live videos from the performance for ‘Nudge It’, ‘Mork n Mindy’ and ‘Tied Up in Nottz’.

If the legends are true, the first ever Sleaford Mods gig took place at a cafe near Nottingham Station in 2007. An apt place for Jason Williamson and Andrew Fearn to start their journey – one that has taken them around the world physically, to new places sonically and through the strangest times lyrically – but they have never lost their connection with home. Hence late in 2021 a “guy shouting and a bloke with a laptop” staged one of the first big post pandemic gigs at the Nottingham Arena. It was a night to celebrate and a night for old friends, but also a time to aim for new horizons and start a new chapter.
Documenting how far one of Britain’s most original bands have come, while revealing Williamson and Fearn straining forward creatively, these recordings also demonstrate what Sleaford Mods do better than anyone else: they make a connection. Whether it is a cafe or an arena, Sleaford Mods engage and entertain and this EP captures the duo’s biggest and best live performance… so far.
