Manchester indie label Uglyman Music, original home to Elbow and I Am Kloot, has opened a Leeds office.
I was excited about this gig. I've enjoyed The Music's debut album and have been looking forward to tonight for sometime - tickets sold out about 4/5 weeks earlier so I was expecting an electric atmosphere inside this rather strange new venue under Leeds train station.
The Music @ Roadhouse (Manchester)

Although the number of Oceansize shows in Leeds can still be counted on the fingers of one hand, they are not all new faces to these parts having spent pre-band time in the heart of Leeds 6 before their formation over the hills in Lancashire.

Awkward indie noise-pop

Whilst the music world seems to be in a fervour over the latest wave indie bands from the North West who all sound remarkably and uninspiring similar, Manchester band The Whip have produced a stand-out indie-electro dance album.

Oui Bee's solo career began when she joined the 'Hydrogen Jukebox', an alternative Cabaret, music and comedy forum in Darlington, where she was quickly snapped up as the resident songwriter/performer...
It's a cold wet Saturday night, we're stood outside the Mixing Tin so we can hear ourselves think, and I'm talking to Tom Summerfield and Glenn Pearson from Sound Club who have just finished an amazing set, in support of Tom Hingley.
Three Dirty Psychedelic Blues Dogs from Bradford! Shared the stage with many a fine artist including - We Are Scientists, Milburn, The Pigeon Detectives, Wolf & Cub, Hey Gravity! (ex. Dodgy guitarists new band), The Lovers (ex. Inspiral Carpets)
Various Artists: Full Charge: High Voltage Sounds Compilation
What with all the exciting musical happenings occurring in our own backyard at the moment, we folk of West Yorkshire could be accused of having become ever so slightly introspective when it comes to seeking out our sonic thrills these days.
The Palms really fit the modern day bill with their take on the current Indie rock / dance scene ala Kasabian, but one or too vocal production issues and an occasional penchant for misguided fret-wanking hold them back from hitting the full throttle.
Chichino: It Could Happen To You
Pop, soul, jazz, funk. Chichino are inspired by all areas of music, and it's paying off. Having played all over the UK, London, Manchester, Newcastle, and of course Leeds, gracing the airwaves of various radio stations across the land and supporting the likes of success story The View, this is the next song from the funk-a-riffic group.
I bet Thee Virus House really get annoyed all the time with people printing their name The Virus House, because yes that wasn't a spelling mistake or typo, they are Thee Virus House.

This was going to be Orka's review. Having watched the band on a previous occasion, and having a "little-bit-too-much-to-drink" I'd promised them a real review.
Come on guys! Where were you all tonight? Despite the abysmal weather, I can't believe than less than fifty people made the effort to get out to the Met Bar to see one of the UK's leading unsigned bands - and in their hometown gig as well!
Opening with a wave of fuzz and pomp filled riffs, three piece Relapse play dark rock. To use the word 'emo' to describe this band is risky, it's the equivalent of when neo-conservatives use 'liberal' to describe their opponents - however it's not a dirty word, and certainly in this case it's no bad thing.
Fulc talk to Andy Roberts about single, tours, Kerrang and strippers...
Parisman talk of influences, recording and their new EP...
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.
What is a Juma? Well it depends on whom you ask... To some it's a dance riddled drug fuelled monster of funky rock and roll.

Yet another cosmopolitan line-up, yet another eclectic yet highly accomplished night of music. This job certainly ain't getting any harder.
As ever I'm late, it looks like I've already missed 2 bands and I've already missed the first song from Indicator.

Andy Roberts gives les Flames! a grilling...
A pretty quiet start to the evening for a Saturday night in Leeds, and bloody cold too, so I was looking for something to warm my cockles.
She's Not Dead: Together We Are Strangers
Once upon a time (last July) in a land (not so very) far, far away (Manchester Piccadilly train station), two of my best and loveliest cohorts, Catie and Morena, and I stumbled across two male figures patiently sitting on the same lonely platform as ourselves.
