COMPETITION: Win exclusive signed artwork and a pair of tickets to see Good Shoes!
London's Good Shoes visit Leeds' Brudenell Social Club on Tuesday 28th November, and here at Leeds Music Scene we have three pairs of tickets and some exclusive signed artwork to win!
From the truly glorious, rousing opening riff, you can tell that 'Morden' is going to be a tale of teenage angst for our times and what a tale Good Shoes turn it into.
The contagious summer smile is amongst us, the festivals are selling the best flat beer money can buy, and the roads are melting beneath our feet.
Good Shoes: We Are Not The Same
With this CD comes a challenge, in three stages. Each level increases in difficulty. Are you ready? They are as such.
To say this was a popular night would be somewhat of an understatement. We were packed and packed in proper...
Good Shoes: Think Before You Speak
I was slightly sceptical about how I would find South London quartet Good Shoes' début album, 'Think before you speak'.
Good Shoes: Never Meant to Hurt You
Good Shoes are another outfit espousing the jangly jitter pop that seems to have become so popular of late.
I started my day in a very groggy fashion indeed. I had already come to terms with the fact that my football team (Tamworth FC) will be slogging it out somewhere outside of the football league next season, and that I was flat broke after paying long overdue bills...
Forgive me for my ignorance but I thought nobody actually gave a rat's arse about indie guitar bands any more...
While !!! certainly wouldn't win a 'Google-friendly' award they seem to have built quite a loyal fan-base and concreted a strong reputation as an enthralling live act.
Kaiser Chiefs @ Wireless Festival 2007
Due to the proverbial heavens opening the previous day, my pals and I strode forth into the grounds of Harewood House in a non-too-Utilitarian fashion.
Cheeky Girls: Take Your Shoes Off
Ok we all know about their arses. I'm here to talk about the music. Were you one of those kids nodding your head along as you played Trolley Wolley?
Hey Negrita: Devil in My Shoes
It is a genuine mystery why some bands release singles, particularly when clearly they are so far from the sort of music that the single buying bracket of the public would actually listen too.
Tremulous Monk: Sparkle Like Your Shoes
The monk in question is York boy Chris Wilkinson. After building his own studio in his hometown he set about recording several EPs which lead to the release of this album.
Brent Palmer: Boomerang Shoes EP
Hot on the heels of Jeff Klein we have another export from Austin Texas. Brent Palmer looks a little more clean cut and a little less rock and roll than his neighbour and his image suits his music.
Band profile for the band Blood Red Shoes
Band profile for the band Good Shoes
Tonight, with James from Duels deputising for Rich (drummer, broken elbow), Leeds four-piece The Hair performed at the Brudenell Social Club supporting Good Shoes. Charlotte Oxnard managed to catch up with them for a few words afterwards...
Jesse James @ Leeds Festival 2002
Jesse James are a band I have seen before, and over the past year they have managed to start getting themselves a bit of a reputation.
Leeds bands added to the line up at Leeds Festival 2008
Leeds Festival 2008 organisers Festival Republic have today announced more bands for this year's festival and it's local bands The Music and Hadouken!
Leeds band The Hair make the final of the Red Stripe Music Awards
Leeds band The Hair have reached the final six of the nationwide Red Stripe Music Awards, after they impressed judges from The Fly, Music Week, Barfly and Red Stripe at the Faversham in March.
All bets are off. Vancouver Island quartet Hot Hot Heat will be your new favourite band by the end of the year.
Bobby (from Hull) and Sarah (Leeds) are the electro act, Mr Beasley. They met when Bobby stencilled a smiley face all around town, catching the eye of Sarah, who decided to track down the artist and make music with him.
You know the songs that conjure up emotions the first time you hear them, that order the hairs on your neck to attention, that stick with you and constantly tear at your emotions?
The Hives @ Leeds Festival 2002
As well as being one of the best bands of the weekend, Swedish five-piece The Hives are an unfailing entertainment act.
Dr Strangemoose: Lay of the Cutlery Shiva
Surely a better name for this 7 song mini-album would have been "...I presume" and you should always be wary of bands that use made up "Funk" words like "Shiva" and include song titles that sound like an Aztec ruin - exhibit A: "Ja Sam Nakaza".
If I had to define Buen Chico in a few words I would say they are jangly, up-beat indie. "Tell 'Em" is available on free download and is a taster from Buen Chico's forthcoming album release.
Kaiser Chiefs: I Predict A Riot
It's funny how there's not one mention of the name Parva in the 500 page biog that accompanies this sparkling new offering from Leeds own darlings-soon-to-be Kaiser Chiefs.
Pifco will release their debut album on July 7th
Leeds duo Pifco will release their debut album on July 7th. Released on the Run Of The Mill Records label, 'Pifco a go go' is the band's first official release since they began producing music together in 2004 - although they have featured on many compilations and have released a tape EP in that time.
The Roots @ Leeds Festival 2004
After their legendary Glastonbury appearance of a few years back, Phily's finest returned to our shores to give Leeds another huge root down of live hip-hop.
Donning a pair of mucky old Converse Trainers - I headed down to Bad Sneakers, I felt, suitably attired.
Carling Stage line up revealed for Leeds Festival 2007
Mean Fiddler have today revealed the headliners, and full line ups, for the Carling Stage at this year's Carling Weekend: Leeds Festival 2007.
Hadouken! to tour UK in March as part of the MySpace Bleep Bleep Tour
Leeds four-piece Hadouken! are to tour the UK in March 2007 as part of the MySpace Bleep Bleep Tour. The tour will showcase four emerging bands at ten cities around the UK, and follows the success of last year's MyFestival.
Capital State: Middle Of The Night
Capital State are making a lot of the running on the Leeds scene these days. High profile gigs, a growing following and this smart new 3 track CD commits them to the West Yorkshire Premiership, with a special award for pleasing the crowd.
Carling Stage line up announced for Leeds Festival
Leeds Festival 2006 organisers Mean Fiddler have today announced the line up for the Carling Stage, with local bands The Sunshine Underground, The Pigeon Detectives and The Research all making appearances.
Once upon a time, a young man named Rob from a band called The Mighty Stars declared "There's a lot to be said for conciseness and brevity", and I suppose he's right.
SoulTired, a four piece, have a clear objective. They aim to bring across their "frustration with life" via their common love for guitar music, and in so doing portray their discontentment with nice, clear uncluttered arrangements; in a way that the normal working class people can relate to.
Did you ever notice how much Bradford is like Los Angeles? No, neither did I, but BD's Seven Hours propel me into the dark and dirty underground blues bars of LA's cinematic masterpiece 'Swingers' with a "You're so the money baby" and a blast of EA Hockey.
You have to approach these things with caution. Do we ask too much? These guys can't have the same fire in their belly and why should we expect them too, besides, I'd heard and readily believed that Wire's own bloody mindedness means they only play new material with only an occasional foray into the 'earlier, funnier' stuff.
Three Leeds bands announced for NME / Radio One Stage at Leeds Festival 2007
A trio of Leeds bands were last night revealed as part of Mean Fiddler's second line-up announcement for the Carling Weekend: Leeds Festival 2007.
Last Night's TV: Quiet Storm EP
The opening song "Quiet Storm" will be on Last Night's TV's forthcoming album "Too Much in Doubt". The three other tracks, "Some Place to Go", "Shoes, Model's Own", and "Gone" (this last played solo) can only be found here.
"...bridges the chasm-divided demographics of indie-pop and post-punk excellently" www.drownedinsound.com
Loqui: I Can't Believe It's Not Better
An ostentatious biography package accompanies this 'Greatest Hits' compilation from Loqui, which also encompasses their life as Vertigo Green.
Old school punk taught us a lot of things, but one thing it didn't teach us was high production values - someone should have informed The Explosion.
Pifco are one of those bands you're either going to love or hate. The first potential deal-breaker is frontman Ste's habit of barking incoherently rather than singing, which will leave a good many people scratching their heads before switching 'Pifco A Go Go' off.
Sam Robson catches up with Leeds five-piece Vib Gyor following the release of new EP "The Stalker"
Bright Young Things - a new showcase of talent - has hit venues across Leeds this past week and I caught up with the Leeds Met.
Band Profile: White Light Parade
Time to meet White Light Parade... singers/guitarists/songwriters the brothers grim; Danny & Jono Yates, bass player Tom Emmett & female drummer Nici Todd.
Little Japanese Toy @ Life Bar
Life Bar is a hollowed-out cavern of swank, devoid of an audience, save a handful of people, and obviously not accustomed to its new guise as a platform for Leeds' thriving music scene.
Eureka Machines @ Leeds Festival 2008
Eureka Machines charge up the whole show for the next three days by demolishing Friday's graveyard slot, tearing out classic rock songs like Saturday night was already half way through and speeding us all up to life-threatening pulse levels.
Schadenfreude. I bet The Nearly Men do this a lot. To put it quite frankly, there's a hell of a lot of bands out there that are not fit to lick these talented bastards' shoes.
Launches of various descriptions often seem to be the best way to stay relatively close to the pulse of any musical happenings while still hanging on to a sense of the familiar and supportive.
The first wave of dance punk hit these shores in 2003. Flown in from New York in the wake of The Strokes, Interpol and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, it was depicted in typical NME fashion as the latest in a long line of movements to descend from the heavens and alter the course of music history.
Jon Gomm @ The Junction (Otley)
I couldn't miss the chance to see Jon Gomm in a remote pub in Otley, just far enough away from the rowdy bars in Leeds.
Vincent Vincent and the Villains @ Brudenell Social Club
To say it lacked atmosphere would be understatement of the year, especially considering the reputation that North by South Best has.
Recently, there's been a contrast of sorts when going out - some nights can be spent bumping into some of the most passionate promoters and talented musicians the city can offer; people who have a genuine enthusiasm for the music scene in Leeds.
Hardly killing the buzz like their name suggests, these Leeds lads inject life into their brand of hardcore punk and 50's rock and roll with the addition of a sax and a trumpet, along with the odd "Oi".
There are a few things you should know about this EP before we get started. Here's basically a run down of the few major facts that led to this EP being recorded by Sigur Rós.
Robert Chew @ Royal Oak (Kippax)
In the words of Auden... well... more or less... stop all the clocks, cut off the 'phone and prevent that darn dog from barking with a juicy bone.
1. You are showing your age. Zenith. If only we were allowed guns in the UK. Pete Docherty (the last remaining soap rocker© in the world) would be joining the list of M.I.A.s and personally we think that would be dull and boring.
Saturday of the O2 Wireless Festival 2007 - Leeds
Due to the proverbial heavens opening the previous day, my pals and I strode forth into the grounds of Harewood house in a non-too-Utilitarian fashion.
Bloody hell, it's busy in here for a Monday. Usually a night of rest following the weekend, but tonight a haven of rock and roll activity the likes of which we haven't seen since...
Predominantly a student venue, the Faversham does exactly what it says on the tin, and you know what to expect: tight jeans, fruity dresses, lots of hair and pointy shoes.
O Fracas: Zeros & Ones / What Jim Hears
O Fracas are not a band for lazy, sleepy dossers yawning languorously in their putrefying rooms, slowly drawing on the ashen remains of a cigarette, leafing idly through a chewed magazine and half-heartedly flipping a coin to decide whether or not they can quite be bothered enough to go for a shower.
It's nice to see former Neighbours star and sometime TV presenter Mark Little is doing well for himself, in a bizarre turn of events he appears to have given up shit-ass, late-nite, programs on ITV and 'found' feedback!
The Romance are a four piece band tired of being compared to Arctic Monkeys; "If you're from the North they compare you to Arctic Monkeys, if you're Southern it's The Libertines. It's just lazy journalism". Charlotte Oxnard chats to the band to find out more...
Tom Gourley @ Royal Park Cellars
A very full and very buzzing Royal Park Cellars had one hell of a night on Wednesday. Agent provocateur Thomas R.
Charlotte Oxnard speaks to Hull all-girl band Ivy Sins
I'll admit it, before this gig I had never heard of Scars On 45. We were mainly there to see Redwire, so when we got into the Cockpit and saw that the big room was open I was surprised.
Arctic Monkeys: Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not
There's that little bit of elitist in me that would just love to shoot this album down right from the off, to rip into it with merciless vigour and launch a tirade about how why it's because of bands like the Arctic Monkeys that music isn't like it used to be.
An evening of contrasts at the New Roscoe was enjoyed by a pleasantly sizable crowd - given that it was a Wednesday night and clashed with the nation's prima donnas kicking a bag of wind with scant success - proof, if proof be need be, that live music at grass roots level is alive and kicking.
Another night at the Well, they are going to have to give me my own chair at this rate... I have seen both Catylyst and Mariko before, but not Cube, although I have heard a lot about them.
This was actually my first visit to The Faversham; well first time as a punter, I have actually done a few jobs for them.
The Scaramanga Six @ Packhorse
It's a brave idea by The Bone crew - take the Packhorse, double the venue part, open the bar, let people see one band, then wander to the other stage to see the next 5 mins later.
A sparsely populated Rocket bar greets us tonight, surprising considering who is playing but nevertheless, we obtain some drinks and make our way to two of the twelve spare stools.
The Hair make me want to do reasonably mucky things to people. I think. I'm not sure. Either that or maybe find a partner to relive certain aspects of 'Dirty Dancing' with right there and then on the shiny wooden floorboards of The Faversham, except we'd incorporate more modern and perhaps more subtle dance moves whilst substituting those items of footwear now relegated to the depths of a chiropodist's hell with slightly more comfortable shoes.
Picture the scene, playing a gig and someone comes up to you asking to review their CD. OK or so I thought!
Carpe on a Saturday night: I'm a fan of the stone floor and the wood surround, so, of course, once I'm ensconced at the bar with a glass of orange juice and a curly straw I'm happy enough.
Your correspondent is tired and weary, drowning in a sea of hipsters, trying not to booze due to previous late messy night aprčs gig and "advancing years".
Interview: Charlotte Hatherley
Kate Zezulka meets up with Charlotte Hatherley to counteract the Spice Girls' comeback by spreading a little real girl power...
Adem is currently touring his second solo album "Love and Other Planets" and we caught up with him at the West Yorkshire Playhouse where he was playing a headline slot as part of the Fuse Festival.
Joseph Seager managed to ask Italian pop/folk/indie band Amycanbe a few questions, from how their tour of the UK has gone to what they'll be up to this Christmas...
The primary reason for the great and the good of Leeds society piling into the cosy Faversham this Thursday night was the chance to honour our local up-and-coming pop heroes, Sky Larkin, and the launch of their debut 7" ('One of Two' on DTTR records - available in all credible outlets now, pop pickers!) Prior to this brooding slice of indie perfection, however, we had a couple of other outfits to draw us in the direction of the Fav's intimate stage.
Victoria Holdsworth spoke to Luke Morley from Thunder before another sell out gig in Sheffield.
Regardless of drawing the short straw and getting the booby prize of first slot in tonight's line up, Movement appear to not give a flying turd that the crowd is thin and they are on before your granny's bed time.
The Summerfield @ Joseph's Well
The room downstairs at Joseph's Well had been taken over by tables and chairs and subtle candlelight.
Duels @ Woodhouse Liberal Club
Dance to the Radio was an event. Is it possible to review an event? Even straight description couldn't get deep enough into the complexities and impossibilities of making such a thing not just happen but happen so brilliantly.
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.
With Vib Gyor about to record their next single - "Secret" - Victoria Holdsworth caught up with the Leeds band at Beached 2006
The annual Bright Young Things showcase has been very much like a 'Kinder Surprise' over the last few years - yes you may look back fondly enough, but you'd rather have a 'Fizzy Cola Bottle' (Futuresound competition) or even a 'Flying Saucer' (local band nite at Joseph's Well) because, at the end of the day, while the 'Kinder Egg' promises much, open it up and a crappy toy that you play with for five minutes and then lose down the back of the sofa is all that confronts you.
Frightened Rabbit: The Midnight Organ Fight
It's been a constant source of wonder why there's been so much fuss made over the perfectly OK Glasvegas this year when another Scottish band released possibly the finest album of 2008 yet escaped the NME's and most everyone else's spotlight.
Interview: Goldie Lookin' Chain
Holden DeForge is invited aboard the Goldie Lookin' Chain tour bus to talk to Two Hats and Roscoe P about their current tour, leisurewear and mums with cocks...
The NME brought its Carling Awards tour to Leeds on Tuesday night, meaning the city was buzzing with three different types of music lover.
One Bullet Left @ Snooty Fox (Wakefield)
The Snooty Fox in Wakefield is slightly different to the majority of pubs that you'll will have no doubt drank in.
