Four Tet @ Brudenell Social Club
After a feeding frenzy to buy tickets back in the heady days of summer, I was expecting a wee bit more excitement amongst the gig-goers for this one.
The Soft Explosions: Ride Between The Eyes
From the same rock family tree as Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and The Brian Jonestown Massacre come The Soft Explosions, a New York four-piece rock'n'roll combo in the classic Stones mould.
Explosions in the Sky: The Earth Is Not a Cold Dead Place
Texas guitar band Explosions in the Sky have been building themselves a reputation over a slow-burning three years of intense and single-minded music making.

If the Gods listened to music, you know post-rock would be their tipple of choice. At times it can be the absolute pinnacle of musical accomplishment.
Vessels to release their debut album in the summer
Vessels have announced UK tour dates ahead of the release of their debut album, 'White Fields and Open Devices', which is due out in June this year.
As I'm standing about by the bar Ormondroyd wander around on stage checking instruments and wires, trying not to look too conspicuous as people like me stare at them.
For several years now we have been listening to records from Constellation, Fat Cat, or Temporary Residence in which slow burning harmonic shifts and crystal guitar sounds conjur up dreams of a cleaner and better world - even in the grimiest venues and the most broken down cities.
Vessels to release a new single in June
On Monday 16th June, Leeds band Vessels will release the first single to be taken from their debut album 'White Fields and Open Devices'.
Vessels to release "Two Words & A Gesture" on November 5th
Vessels will release new single, "Two Words & A Gesture", on November 5th. The follow up to "Yuki / Forever The Optimist" will be available on limited 7" (500 copies) and download.
...From The Shards Of Comets!: Less Magic, More Mechanics
Post-rock seems to be becoming quite popular these days with bands such as Mogwai, Godspeed You Black Emperor and Explosions In The Sky beginning to claim plaudits from all over the place.
Vessels: White Fields and Open Devices
"You're going home in a Yorkshire ambiance!" Vessels are five young men with a grand, epic vision that resonates throughout their debut album "White Fields and Open Devices".

Micah P Hinson: Micah P Hinson And The Red Empire Orchestra
With a history that includes painkiller addiction, forged prescriptions, loss of all possessions and a jail sentence you could say this 27 year-old Texan musician shares more than a just a passing musical connection with the late Johnny Cash.
I was unsure what to expect from The Reverse, but pleased with what I heard. Sounding like The Boomtown Rats crossed with the good points of Morrissey and including elements from bands such as Portishead and Mogwai, this four track EP is over before you know it, leaving you wanting more.
A Northern Chorus: Spirit Flags
I know this band. Well, sort of. I remember about a year ago, that someone was posting on the Sigur Rós message board talking about (because he was in) a band called 'A Northern Chorus'.
So, they're good enough for John Peel, then. Still, he's not that fussy, is he? Let's face it, an hour of obscure euro punk and you start reaching for Radio 2 before seizures set in half the time - or is that just me?
Echodine: Fragments from the Wilderness
Bump. A packet lands on the floor. Great! More music to Osmosise. Echodine? Aww man, is this one of those, "one man and his bleep machine" affairs?
Yndi Halda: Enjoy Eternal Bliss
Can anyone remember instrumental guitar-music (or, ahem, "Post-Rock") being in such robust health as of now?
Youthmovie Soundtrack Strategies: When we won't have to make the freezing scene no more
Some extravagant praise comes ahead of this CD. So I'm on my guard. But fear not. It's pretty not bad.
i concur: Lucky Jack / Build Around Me
As far as 'post-rock' goes, i concur appear to amass all the hallmarks of the genre with the precise and systematic grace of the consummate disciples they purport to be.
The Scaramanga Six: Are you one of the Family?
Save for the first twenty seconds of the opening and title track "Are you one of the Family?" (On their own Trinity Records label), an opening in which The Scaramanga Six have recorded some very strange effects, including explosions, I actually like this track.
Amycanbe: Being a Grown-Up Sure Is Complicated
Being A Grown-Up Sure Is Complicated - sure is! Reflecting the alternation into adult life, Amycanbe's awaited debut album portraits music from the body and the soul.
Various Artists: Gnarly Dude 2
Compiled by Voltage Records head honcho Tim Walker in conjunction with the skate website middle-age-shred.com, the sequel to the original "Gnarly Dude!" compilation features 23 bands from across Britain and the U.S.A.
For me the Tea Time Shuffle is both a blessing and a curse. The great thing is you get to see 5 decent bands and at the same time are provided with the opportunity to start drinking at 6pm.
Interview: All My Friends Are Dead
Gavin Miller speaks with Leeds' newest post-rock prodigies All My Friends Are Dead
Patience. Doctors have plenty of them, but alas the general music-buying public of today have very little.
To my shame, I can't remember the last time I've done this - turn up at a gig with almost no knowledge of any of the bands on the bill.
Girls are in vogue this evening at Wired, a new monthly night at The Fenton imported all the way from that other big city at the eastern end of the M62.

The Tennessee Traincrash @ The Vine
It's been a weird day. October has gone from cold to colder to coldest. Today, the corn exchange and I witnessed Rik Mayall buying a shit t-shirt (emblazoned with "No-one knows I'm a lesbian" or a slogan of the same ilk) from my mate's shop.
The Appleseed Cast @ Brudenell Social Club
A Swedish sauna? The surface of Mars? No, tonight ladies and gentlemen we are privy to the delights of live music in the Brudenell in mid-June.
In a market that is becoming increasingly saturated with second-rate Michael Buble and Frank Sinatra imitators, it is refreshing to hear a troupe of young musicians making original, cutting-edge jazz music.
Thursday: A City By the Light Divided
Thursday will forever be cursed with being tagged as the band that sprung the traps on the infamous genre of 'screamo'.
Deja vu. Deja vu from the exact same time last year. Stuck in the same pokey Cockpit auxiliary room with an altogether comatose audience but nevertheless an incendiary performance from one of British rocks most talented outfits.
Upon recent visits to The Vine I must admit to being impressed by the seemingly more coherent approach taken to choosing the line-ups for nights, with what appears to be more consideration given to how compatible bands are both in terms of their musical style and fanbase.
Experiencing the sunshine mixed with alcohol and excessive loud noise is never good for the body after your stomach's feeling turgid from the day before.
Mr Neil, lead singer of The Playmates ostentatiously parades on and off the stage, needlessly brash and purposely demented, he bids to blow the sweaty-browed gathering to smithereens with his typecast ruffled rock star demeanour.
Various Artists: On The Bone Records: Compilation One
Eventually, a compilation release is the logical step in any promoter's relationship with their artists and audience.
Tonight may be billed as 'Forest of Sound Vs Gizeh Records', but the musically complementary and socially affable dynamic between the two rooms, and quite literal musical-chairs of collaboration going on in the Packhorse, negate any connotations of rivalry.
Hot Club De Paris play Leeds on 1st June and release their new album on 16th June. Joseph Seager caught up with the band to ask them some questions.
I arrived at the Mixing Tin just as Bracken were starting their set. Coming down the stairs I could already feel the Anticon associated bass thrumming up to meet me.
I give you fair warning. I am about to break the ancient, time-honoured and globally respected code of the International Covenant of Authors, Note-Takers, Writers, Reviewers, Interviewers, Talkers and Editors (or ICANTWRITE for short) covering the critique of musical releases and/or performances on precisely 2 counts. In fact one of these has already been broken. So apologies if this warning comes too late in the day and has already caused you unnecessary distress.
Youthmovie Soundtrack Strategies @ Leeds Festival 2005
"Hello, we've got a wake-up call for a Mr. Ramsden here. Yes, a bunch of tracksuit wearing oiks are waiting for you on the main stage, they said something about your mother looking for a pianist?".
Foo Fighters @ Leeds Festival 2005
Sunday started like any other day. Apart from this Sunday I happened to wake up in a field with 30 odd thousand other bear soaked, bleary eyed, unwashed, desperate bladder controlling festival revellers.
