Ali Whitton and the Broke Record Players are a band you can't help but like. Although I am told they've been gigging around Leeds forever, tonight is the first time I have come across them.
Hood to release the second single from their recent long player...
The second single - "The Negatives" - from Hood's recent album is one of the real highlights from a record of dizzying beauty.
Even if he is unable to attend - by dint of incarceration, far-flung vacation or other indisposition - the embedded chronological awareness of any Leeds gig-goer will tell him at this juncture (6pm on the first Friday of the month) that he should be nestling within the subterranean catacombs of the Hi-Fi Club.
High up in the 7th floor apartment of The Breech's keyboard player Davoc, overlooking the streets and at the weird and wonderful architecture of Leeds buildings it seems an appropriate place to talk about the state of the Leeds music scene, and more importantly the burgeoning and healthy looking future of The Breech.
J Walkers to release an album on the GLP record label
Sunday 9th September sees the release of a brand new album from a brand new band on Leeds label GLP (Groove Laboratory Productions), the J Walkers.
Latest split 7" single from Obscene Baby Auction Records...
Obsecene Baby Auction Records released their latest split 7" earlier this month. A picture disc the 7" features tracks by Bilge Pump and Brown Owl: "Both bands contribute a solitary song each which is exclusive to this record and they are both amazing so buy it, it looks really really great on your record player as well, believe." The single was limited to 300 copies - here at LMS we have no idea how many are left, if any, so you must be swift or they will all have gone.
Bad Beat Revue: Still Cheating
How amazing the Internet is! Stick this CD in your PC and Windows Media Player goes off to check its database only to recognise it as Jose Manuel Ramos with his well known song (???) "Cabeza loca".
BC Camplight: Blood and Peanut Butter
This record has irritated me for the last few weeks, not because it is bad, quite the opposite in fact.
iLiKETRAiNS to release "The Deception" in September 2007
Leeds band iLiKETRAiNS have announced details of their latest single release. Titled "The Deception", the single will be available on 7" and CD formats with B-sides including "Victress" (both formats) and "Joshua" (CD only).The single will be released on Monday, 10th September on the Beggars Banquet record label.
The Lost 45s UK: The Next Projected Sound Of...
The Lost 45s UK are famous for being a band that supported The Who but this EP shows that The Lost 45s UK are much more than being just a support band.
Justin Myers interviews Felix Rodrigues, the guitarist from rising Swedish band The Sounds
With another single from forthcoming album 'The New Fellas' this is The Cribs' latest slice of disjointed guitar pop.
Five O'Clock Heroes: Run To Her
Oh Jesus, When is this endless tide of pretty boy piss poor pop going to end? "Run to her" skips merrily around on my CD player but I think I am going to take it out in a minute and use it as a coaster.
Brightblack Morning Light: s/t
The product of two Alabama musicians; Nathan Shineywater and Rachael Hughes, Brightblack Morning Light's self-titled record was astonishingly recorded during a period of homelessness - living in tents within a National Park just north of San Francisco.
It was some time around Christmas 2003 if I remember rightly. I was at a festive gig at the Royal Park Cellars to see Robochrist, Xi and the Sisters of Murphy.
The evening kicked off with new lads BAZOOKA JOE. I am told that this was their first show. They definitely deserve credit for their performance, they put on an excellent show with some pretty damn good pop/ punk tunes which got the kids pretty warmed up -like they needed it - I think it was the sweatiest show I have been to all year.) Plenty of people were up dancing especially for the outstanding cover version of Celine Dione's "My heart will go on." Watch out for them in the near future.
The Hold Steady arrive in the UK next month for their first full UK tour. Danielle Millea caught up with guitarist Tad Kubler.
Originally scheduled for late 2006, you could say The Electric Cinema's self-titled debut album has been a long time coming.
Cardboard Cowboy: The Boxroom Tapes Volume 3
The latest release from Leeds' Cardboard Cowboy is their third slice of self recorded material straight out of the rehearsal room.
Calvin Harris: Merrymaking at My Place
Perhaps this is the moment where people start to see through the bizarre phenomenon that is Calvin Harris.
Purveyors of lush, romantic rock and roll they may be, but in a world that needs a handle, these guys will - for the time being - continue to be 'that one with a tap dancer instead of a drummer'.
The Sugars: Doo Wop (Sugar So Sweet)
Bands such as Arctic Monkeys may dispute that image isn't everything, and whilst it certainly isn't, it's always good to find a band who, in addition to writing first-rate songs, also have a good ol' bash at looking damned good.
Tindersticks: Waiting For The Moon
Tindersticks are one of the UK's most talented, and rather unfortunately, overlooked bands of the past 10 years or so, and 'Waiting For The Moon', their latest LP, should go a long way to help give the band the attention they deserve.
psychedelic rock
Joseph C Seager managed to ask Amy Studt a few words about the past, present, and future before her new album 'My Paper Made Men' hits the shelves.
Maximo Park: A Certain Trigger
Frantic, frenzied, funny, fucked-up, finely-tuned and most of all FANTASTIC! That's just a short alliteration of what sums up this absolute diamond of a CD from Maximo Park.
"Lock Up Your Mothers" - an interview with The Sugars!
AM are a three piece rock band from Brooklyn. They settle the question of whether all Americans are cool once and for all.
Eggs in one basket time - quite simply Nightmare Of You are going to be the biggest thing in rock come 2007.
goth punk
Gigs at the Fav used to be a nightmare for me. I tended bar there while studying at University you see and while my peers pissed away heir upper class parents' money on ripped jeans and a serious of ludicrous haircuts I supplied the Fav's locals with booze to fund my own debauchery.
Oh! nearly! nearly! This stuff is on the edge of genius, fighting to avoid the big drop into the bathos of emulopop.
The Needles: In Search of the Needles
Aberdeen's guitar-pop bashers The Needles have finally made it on to a long player, not that at 35 minutes it's that long!
A cold, dark and blustery Monday night in Leeds must have seemed like a million miles from Portland, Oregon but The Thermals did everything in their power to warm it up and a half full Joseph's Well was certainly appreciative.
The eerie echoes of Adams' cover of the Oasis classic give way to ringing, plucked chords sprawling across the rich landscape.
Three long years I've been waiting!!! Finally Mover are back in town... hurrah!! I had never heard of the band before I saw them support The Bluetones in 1998 at the T&C but they completely blew me away.
I saw D-Rail once before at the Rocket and thought they had a lot of potential, even if they hadn't realised it at that time.
So I seem to be back at Royal Park Cellars again (seem to spending some time in here recently) Steve Kind warns me tonight is going to be loud - and it was!
Third solo album for Kelli Ali, who must get sooo tired of only being known as the former singer for Sneaker Pimps (you know, 'Six Underground', you've probably got it somewhere), it must be a mixed blessing that since being asked to leave over 10 years ago neither party has been best known for their chart bothering.
Punk was a reaction against the excesses of the 70s music scene. Songs tripped out, ten, fifteen minutes long.
Various Artists: FOPP Award For New Music 2005
It's so refreshing to hear something that sounds totally unique to what you're used to. For me it means taking media player off random (which I keep hoping will find me some great B-side) and searching through the endless 'unsigned' band pages that litter the internet.
The last few years have hardly been a triumph for Embrace; set up as "the next Oasis" their debut album reached the number one spot and, while not selling 'shed loads' ('tent loads' anyone?), did seem to set them up nicely for future records.
Mexican Alibi: The Ace Catastrophe
"I've seen people and I've seen places/ But I'll never see familiar faces / I'll be your alibi and you'll be mine / we'll be fine in the countryside" are fairly catastrophic lyrics I'll grant you.
Gavin Miller talks wih Stafrćnn Hákon prior to the forthcoming tour of the UK, which includes a Leeds show on 19th Sepember...
'A trip through London, Paris and the Nag's Head' is what I was promised when I first looked at the promotional blurb on the front of the CD.
Interview: Charlotte Hatherley
Kate Zezulka meets up with Charlotte Hatherley to counteract the Spice Girls' comeback by spreading a little real girl power...
Beneath Augusta: Mellonova 00-03
Something must be happening in Canada these days. From the nation that brought us such luminaries as Bryan Adams, Celine Dion, and the miserable Alanis Morisette, the country that sits atop the United States of America is quietly out-doing their southern neighbour for quality musical exports.
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.
Guillemots: Through The Window Pane
If Guillemots could invite anyone, living or dead, over for a dinner party, the table would look something like this.
It's a Friday night at the Vine, it's 8 O'clock, Duels are about to start so where the hell is everybody?
The Strokes @ Leeds Festival 2002
Firstly let me state the thing this weekend confirmed for me, above all others, that people at festivals so often have such varied opinions about the bands they saw.
"Let's lay down some f**king hits" drolls The Blood Arm frontman and all round king of cool sleaze Nathaniel Fregoso on their new long player's opening number.
Proof if there ever was that this is the best advice I can give to anyone who loves music. WATCH THE SUPPORT BAND.
Downfall - those long-serving purveyors of rock speak to Andy Roberts on the hiatus surrounding their latest release, perfectionism and The Music...
Five bands. The Fav. For free. F me! It must be Easter Sunday. First on The Acutes bang out their bluesy rock which, when you consider the band have no bass player, brings obvious but perhaps unfair comparisons with The White Stripes.
Donning a pair of mucky old Converse Trainers - I headed down to Bad Sneakers, I felt, suitably attired.
The Sugars: The Curse Of The Sugars
The Sugars appear to have been purveying their darkly sweet brand of rock 'n' roll to us lucky Leodensians for some time now, but this semi-eponymous long player is their debut full-length offering.
Tonight was going to be another boring Monday night in as usual. I had planned to go the Faversham to see Four Day Hombre but as I hadn't got a clue where it was, and each of the maps I tried looking at all have different things on them, so I had resigned myself to not going.
Protectors is a 3 piece guitar rock band from Leeds.
Easy Star All Stars @ Irish Centre
A band who'd do whole Reggae cover albums of prog rock classics invite dismissal as a novelty act, but for years, largely until the Bob Marley/Roots revolution of the early/mid seventies, Jamaican artists commonly interpreted the work of American and UK artists.
Salivating over the artists on show tonight, I was going to come here tonight regardless of whether I was reviewing the show or not.
What once was Parva is now The Kaiser Chiefs. With a brand new set and a brand new sound the band introduce their new selves to us with "Less Is More".
Leeds Music Scene asks This Et Al some burning - or at least mildly broiling - questions in the wake of some storming dates in the North and in anticipation of the release of the Figure Eight EP...
Billy Talent put us straight on hangover cures and the fact that Canadian music's not all Celine Dion and Bryan Adams...
The Cockpit this evening is surrounded by more buzz than I've seen here before. But perhaps buzz is not quite the right word - it would be more accurate to say that there are more hormones flying around tonight than gigs I have previously attended.
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.
Adem @ West Yorkshire Playhouse
A barmy warm night and an audience that looks like a life-style magazine for relaxed funky living, a perfect setting for some Folktronica and old school hippydom.
Firstly an apology. I'm going to get a bit nostalgic in this review. Please bear with me. Back in the crazy days of the Leeds Music Scene (circa 2001) I saw a band play several awesome gigs at The Well.
"Being a promoter is terrifying" - Leeds guitar virtuoso Jon Gomm takes on the promoter-role as he brings his 'Leeds Guitar Night' concept to the Brudenell Social Club on July 6th.
"It may be hard to pronounce but if you learn it I'm sure you'll find it will pay". And so the confusion starts.
"It all kicks off around half past eight," Buen Chico's manager tells us as we stroll into the Met at the specified start time of seven o'clock.
i concur @ Brudenell Social Club
There's a strong sociable ambience at tonight's EP launch for i concur. The whole evening is endearingly informal - partly a product of the choice of venue, but most importantly of the obvious musical friendships between groups.
The Music @ Roadhouse (Manchester)
Review featured with permission from www.manchestermusic.co.uk Not unlike the amount of feather boas and leopard print present for the Manic Street Preachers, or backwards caps for Limp Bizkit, the traditional demin clad bowlheads fill Manchester's Roadhouse for the most hyped band this year.
Various Artists: DTTR: Something I Learned Today
After 'What Everyone Wants' comes what everyone really wants - the new long player from Leeds' most vibrant and diverse label of the moment; Dance To The Radio.
Victoria Holdsworth caught up with local band The Dharma when they headlined the Cockpit in Leeds
I'd just like to say that most of this review IS personal opinion, as to start off with all the bands were superb musically.
Charlotte Hird caught up with Simple Plan when they supported Bowling for Soup at LMUSU
Bright Young Things 2008: the 15 successful bands are revealed
Following an intense two-day judging process, the fifteen successful acts for Bright Young Things 2008 have been announced today.
Sam Robson catches up with Leeds five-piece Vib Gyor following the release of new EP "The Stalker"
That Fucking Tank @ Bar 1-20 (Huddersfield)
Tonight, in drizzly Pennine country with sleep in its bleary eyes and grit on its railtracks, we wander into this cornerhouse bar to find a large number of children onstage barely out of Huggies and totting up, I estimate, a grand total of four and a half years of age between them.
Chapter Thirteen @ Joseph's Well
The kids are where it's at, man. Every teenage band I've seen at the Well have got all their mates from school down and all of them get the hallowed moshpits.
Yo La Tengo @ West Yorkshire Playhouse
You gotta love the music industry. I arrive at the rather plush West Yorkshire Playhouse excited, yet a little nervous because of all this guest list stuff.
'The greatest records in the world can be put on in any situation: you can put them on at a party and they're going to sound great, you could put them on in a club and they're going to sound great, you could put them on on your headphones and listen in bed.
Part One of a two-part interview with Leeds band Chichino, who are set to release their new single "It Could Happen To You"
Dee Dyson @ Tut'n'Shive (Wakefield)
Okay. Let's get you up to speed. Tonight is the last night at the Tut N Shive, of the Wakey acoustic Thursday night shenanigans.
'Twas a blustery wet night on Sunday 12th March 2006 when I forced my way into a packed out Cockpit in Leeds, to interview not only a legend, to all self respecting indie lovers, but also a rather splendid chap! In the immortal words of Take That would The Wonder Stuff be back for good?
Leeds Music Scene caught up with The Whip as they kick off their UK tour
Cathy Simpson talks to The Warlocks about drugs, music, guitars and groupies...
Iggy & The Stooges @ Harewood House
As soon as you walk into the grounds of Harewood House, it hits you right in the face: this gig is as close to a sixties' "peace and love" throwback as you're likely to find in this day and age.
Charity begins at home or so they say. Well I've never really understood what that means but charity was the aim of the nights over Monday and Tuesday this week at Joey's Well.
The Scaramanga Six @ Joseph's Well
Review featured with permission from www.whisperinandhollerin.com Wrath Records are a new label in Leeds, based around 4 bands who have a lot in common.
First up, playing to a half empty square, are The Motorettes. These Geordie guys aren't half bad really, even though they fit the mould of typical indie rockers.
Sam Saunders spoke to Chris Helme of the Yards in January 2004...
Lauren Strain caught up with Ali Whitton at Manchester's Dry Bar to look back on a busy 2005 for the songwriter, which included an appearance at Leeds Festival and saw the release of his "Kisses" and "Curses" EPs.
