red star line
We found the term red star line in 63 articles.
Somehow while living the rock 'n' roll lifestyle Red.Star.Line managed to find the time to whip up a whole album.
Red.Star.Line: Pure / Rewards For Informers
Quite Great Publicity Presents! This present was packaged like a Spaceman's lunch, all silver foiled and important.
Band profile for the band Red.Star.Line
First on was Math Hill & The Horrible Children. Previously advertised as medieval folk songs played to modern arrangements, the outlook was questionably dim.
The Distillers @ The Refectory
It was cold, it was raining and I had to queue up for like half an hour to get in... but to be honest that's the only real negative of the night; well there is another but I'll get on to that soon enough...
The heroes of Live At Leeds have their new single, a song which on first inspection lacks the vivacity that drenched their performance at The Cockpit last month.
Queen Adreena: Pretty Like Drugs
Katie Jane has long been a star, campaigning the right of the grrrl to fucking rock, her latest band replacing the awesome noisefest that was nineties band Daisy Chainsaw.
Johnny Panic: Automatic Healer
Casually walking the line between glam metal and punk, this is a promising new offering from these snotty upstarts.
Oceansize: One Day All This Could Be Yours
Chris Sheldon (Feeder and so on) has done a very tidy production job on a couple of new but shapeless and over extended Oceansize tunes, with a storming live recording of "Massive Bereavement" that pushes the playing time up to over 20 minutes.
Head Automatica: Beating Heart Baby
Ladies and Gentlemen, may I present to you the single of the year. Of course it won't win any award for being so, that will go to the next Pop Star puppet to come off Cowell's production line.
Shlomo to direct World's first Human Beatbox choir
On 18th March, hundreds of music fans will witness a special performance of live music by 'Shlomo and the Vocal Orchestra', performed using only the mouths, lips, tongues and vocal cords of 15 singers and beatboxers.
This CD has a five star production on some uncertain material. There's a terrific sound to it, recorded as it is in a "purpose built studio" (what other sorts are there?).
Click Here For Review 2 Sometimes a band comes along with a little extra. I had seen this band in Leicester on the Wednesday, its Saturday now and I'm in Leeds for only the third time in my life.
Here are six recorded songs from a Halifax band with the same name as a tune by muso wonderbillies Dark Star.
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!
This Et Al: Everything's irrelevant and no idea's original
The big art rock sound of This Et Al has plenty of variety and invention about it. There's a range of influences from Radiohead through Mogwai to Interpol and a vigorously accomplished approach to playing their instruments.
Instant Species: Tax Man, Funny Man
It's been several years since I last reviewed Instant Species and one of my first direct encounters with the band was when I promoted the band at a Blue Star Music event at Joseph's Well.
Micky P Kerr: www.mickypkerr.co.uk / Dreamers Club
Micky P Kerr took the decision leave popular local Leeds act Jack Afro just after the band released their debut single on 1965 Records.
Various Artists: This Is The New (art/goes/pop sampler)
I love art/goes/pop: they found me when they went looking and proceed to send me top quality compact discs like this little gem which compiles some of their glorious little upstarts onto one disc.
This CD is bloody amazing! I was given this when we had just played a storming set at Josephs Well. I had the original "Wow Signal" EP from VISA, which I acquired from the Blue Star gig a couple of months ago.
four day Hombre: The First Word is the Hardest
Perfect pop. Just what daytime radio should be playing all the time. Three accomplished tracks on one CD with style, passion, ingenuity and wit.
This preview for an album-in-the-pipeline is Ramon's first on Fishsoup Records. It is an exquisite piece of work.
Leeds jazzes up the August Bank Holiday weekend for the first Big City Jazz festival
A dizzying line-up of acts has been announced for the first Big City Jazz festival in Leeds on August Bank Holiday weekend.
The Glitterati @ Joseph's Well
I was too late for tonight's openers - I arrive and they say "thank you and good night" - just too late.
There's a lot to be said for matching a performer with the perfect venue. Last time I saw Becky Duke was a couple of weeks ago at the Royal Park, and despite putting on a wonderful show, the often noisy in-crowd banter couldn't help but detract from the intimacy in the music.
Various Artists: Bright Young Things 2002
The Bright Young Things CD for 2002 is being distributed by Leeds City Council in April as a free addition to the glossy and widely available Leeds Guide.
Another cracking line-up courtesy of the Blue Star boys, this time with a bit of a rockier edge leading to possibly the fullest showcase since Leeds Music Scene maestro Dave Sugden and Joseph's Well manager Karl Baird began the monthly nights back in December 2000.
O.C.D. is Mark Hadley's current electronica/live project. Mark was the leader of CYPH3R when he last did Leeds gigs.
Aaaaaghh I must cross the line forbidden to all reviewers and do the unthinkable....review someone I know!
What a great opening. The first 35 seconds of "All our so called bad luck stories" are fresh young and just fantastic.
The Bluefoot Project: Observations
Well, well, well. How can a crusty old white anti-dance geetar git like me get rapturous about stuff like this?
When Hot Prophecy first start their set, two things become apparent very quickly. The first being that the sound quality is very good considering the size of the venue and the second being that the band are clearly in love with what they're playing.
On our breaks at work we like to play a game. This is known as the 'mini challenge', where the first person to spot a mini in the packed supermarket car park wins.
In the field of heavy metal/ hard rock, some bands try their very best to push forward the template to an otherwise limited genre.
Shaun T Hunter: For Adults and Brave Children
Shaun T. Hunter has an album on his own label called "For Adults and Brave Children". He has sent 6 of its 15 tracks for review.
alternative rock
James William Hindle's story reads like a classic rags to... er... slightly nicer rags tale. Originally from Leeds, things started to pick up after sending a cover of a John Denver tune to an American record label putting together a Denver tribute album.
And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead @ LMUSU
Now almost two years since its release, though not dated a single day, "Mistakes & Regrets" is greeted with the loudest roar of the night before even a word is sung as the unmistakable slow melody line builds up into a blast of intense raw energy, a Stateside version of The Cooper Temple Clause's "Panzer Attack" for want of a comparison.
Rilo Kiley: Under The Blacklight
July 2nd 2007: Rilo Kiley's latest single 'The Moneymaker' hits the internet, and all hell breaks loose; it's like the indie apocalypse - who knew fans of America's cutest band could be quite so vicious?
Dum Flux opened up the evening in a punk rock fashion. Melodic, energetic but let down by out of time guitars and slightly out of tune vocals.
Roger McGuinn @ City Varieties
Roger McGuinn you ask - who is he? You may well ask. This is the man who defined the sounds of the early 60s with his jingle jangle sound of the 12 string Rickenbacker guitar - a sound adopted and refined by The Beatles no less in many of their early classics (Hard Day's Night springs immediately to mind).
funk soul acid jazz
What an honour, reviewing 2 of my favourite bands in the world, as well as the added bonus of Harold.
There's going to be a sequel! The charity CD will launch this year's CD at Leeds newest venue The Platform
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.
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.
Will Ridge interviews Tim Wheeler and Rick McMullen of the band Ash and tries to establish what the future has in hold for them now they have turned their back on the conventional album.
So then after months of waiting the night was finally here, our first chance to see the Academy. After an hour in Walkabout (who will do a roaring trade on a Friday night with two quid drinks compared to £3.20 next door) we got our first glimpse of the Academy and our first reaction was how busy it seemed.
Seismic Loveshift @ Royal Park Cellars
After a day slogging round York, I thought some music was in order to round the night off. Having promised Seismic Loveshift I would try to see their full set this time (failed as usual - sorry!
Clint Boon Experience @ Cockpit
Tonights support came from the Fuzz Light Years - their name sounding like it might promise Super Furry Animalesque psychedelia.
The 'Well' quickly filled up with sweat, a good turn out. Pat on the back for everyone that turned up, especially the few sporting spiked Mohican's.
Funeral for a Friend @ The Refectory
The fans are soaked, the band are soaked, even the ceiling is soaked. Funeral for a Friend's support is nothing short of triumphant as the 5 self confessed Welsh Valley boyos evacuate the stage concluding a set of vibrancy, urgency and enjoyment I had not accounted for.
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.
"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.
Well to say it's my first gig of the year, it's a packed Mixing Tin, and how impressed was I this evening - VERY!
It's Friday night, it's cold and it's wet, so do you stay in and get depressed because you have no friends, or do you go out to catch some top live bands from your local area giving their all in a great pub which sells decent beer, get hideously drunk in a nightclub afterwards, fall all the way home then wake up in a strange bed the next morning with little or no recollection of how, why or when?
On a bar-full of chemically dubious sweetiepops and bilious lagers here stands a single malt of geological integrity and permanent joy.
The Long Ryders @ Irish Centre
I thought I saw some diplomat hawking secret plans in the park I thought I saw my President walking through Harlem late after dark In a world of love where they burn like Nero You write them a check and you then add zero ...
Now I don't usually have many options on a Wednesday night, but with both Vampire Weekend and Black Lips playing on the same night I was torn.
Interview: Funeral for a Friend
John Harvey talks with Darren from Welsh emo hardcore band Funeral for a Friend, who recently headlined the NME tour in Leeds...
A gig in aid of 'A GOOD CAUSE' eh? (the 'good cause' in question being Wheatfields hospice). Thankfully tonite's gig and the Junction 47 II CD it is designed to promote owe more to the 'Help' album than they do to 'Live Aid' - bringing together genuinely good bands from Leeds to do what they do best - play quality music with scarce a lighter-waving ballad featuring a children's choir in sight...
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?".
The NME brought its Carling Awards tour to Leeds on Tuesday night, meaning the city was buzzing with three different types of music lover.
