The Ladykillers: The Stars Of A Teenage Wet Dream
Having been exposed to The Ladykillers' live experience - and to be honest, not being overly impressed - I nervously accepted a request for a review of "The Stars Of A Teenage Wet Dream", their latest CD.
Rose Kemp was born into the music business. The daughter of Maddy Prior and Rick Kemp from British outfit Steeleye Span her first contributions were in 2002 on the album Bib and Tuck' by Maddy Prior And The Girls.
Longwave @ Leeds Festival 2002
Another New York guitar band? On first cursory glance you may be tempted to throw Longwave on the towering pile with all the rest, but stop a moment, stay and listen (as many did) and you may change your mind.
Being handed the press release my eyes were first to glance at the band photo, my initial opinion was not good.
The step up from GCSE Maths to A-level is notoriously difficult. Where as once formulas made sense there are suddenly new terms and symbols which at first glance turn everything on its head.
The Old Romantic Killer Band @ Brudenell Social Club
The Despondents, although showed considerable effort, ultimately fell flat. The impression they gave off certainly wasn't helped by the lead singer's 'eccentric' white sunglasses.
On a warm evening in Leeds a band could be heard playing. Scouting For Girls are playing at the Cockpit with support from the newly formed Leeds band The Faraways.
These Arms Are Snakes @ Cockpit
Due to early stage times, and late busses I arrive at the Cockpit just in time to catch the last few tracks of WhoresWhoresWhores.
Transgressive hasn't half done well for itself. Just a casual glance at the arsenal of bands at their disposal tonight to showcase to a global audience displays that.
Cathy Davey: Cold Man's Nightmare
This girl is a diamond. Or, more accurately, a mystical earth-princess of warmth and amber-shades nibbling on a toffee-apple and 'ooh'-ing at a bonfire who also happens to be able to write songs of such perfection (based on current evidence) that they've got you singing along three bars before they've even started.
Entering the barely packed side room at first glance this does not seem like the prime of Switches' domains, stage drab and atmosphere mellow.
Groove Armada: From The Vaults 1997-2007
At first glance of the cover, it's quite confusing to what the title of this album actually is, as 'GROOVE ARMADA - 10 YEAR STORY' stares you in the face, yet in the top left corner, 'From the Vaults 1997-2007' peers in discretely.
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.
Mumm-Ra: These Things Move in Threes
I tend to be a little wary of bands like Mumm-Ra, who take up instruments with the sole purpose of being in a band to pass the time - something all the members of this group admit to.
Given the amount of hype openers FLIPSIDE give themselves, I could be forgiven for thinking I'd walked into the wrong venue had it not been for the stately John Keenan on the door.
What a welcome surprise. At the end of the first act tonight, a band who are billed just as "Special guests", comes the announcement that they will be playing The Strychnine Lounge on Friday.
The Cockpit is filled with lots of people all sporting the same haircut tonight. The anticipation is building for the debut of The Run featuring former Stone Roses drummer Alan "Reni" Wren.
Visa @ Woodkirk Valley Country Club
Free pizza anyone? Not only do you get a bright and diverse 40 minute set from this Leeds based outfit, but you also bag yourself some unwanted pizza, compliments of the management (that is if you get there early enough.
The Cooper Temple Clause @ LMUSU
The Cooper Temple Clause tonight are playing the final British gig on the tour of their second album: "Kick-up The Fire and Let The Flames Break Loose", one of the more longer winded titles I've come across this year.
"What is love except a way to lose a friend? What is life except a means to an end? What are you except a reason for me to show a little hope?" Okay, okay, so I'm an over-emotional little soul; therefore, I will automatically take under my wing any waif-like 'singer-songwriter' (there are those heinous words again) with a tear stirring behind their eye and a pitiful rip in their denims, no matter if they're good, middling, or, quite frankly, rubbish, out-of-tune whine-bags.
The Like: Are You Thinking What I'm Thinking?
The Like are three extremely photogenic waiflike females who make self-confessed indie-pop. Unfortunately, their reliance on their own aesthetic appeal means the actual quality of the music falls by the wayside.
In the normal course of events, it's blindingly obvious from the outset how many stars an album is likely to be awarded.
Sometimes in life, there is light at the end of the tunnel, a little ray of sunshine on an otherwise cloudy day.
Art Brut are undoubtedly one of the UK's finest musical treasures. Without exception when you first encounter Art Brut you will be forced to swing one or two ways - you will either 'get it' or you won't.
Fold your hands you walk like a rock star. The Dandy Warhols represent the triumph of substances over substance and their first two albums are testament to this with a handful of quirky, catchy and perfectly snotty pop gems along with dawdling tunes you might call "Atmospheric" or "Filler" if your in generous mood.
Various Artists: Leeds Urban Fusion 2003
According to the liner notes here in the CD wallet of Leeds City Council's 'Urban Fusion 2003' album it says, rather cringingly, that this is a CD "born from hip hop, r&b and urban flavaz" although what 'urban flavaz' is meant to mean I have no idea.
A good crowd turned up for tonight's free Barfly sessions gig but there was plenty of room and it could have been promoted a little bit better because many of the genuine fans who would have paid to see these bands knew nothing of it.
The Machines Will Take Over @ The Railway (Featherstone)
First impressions of Featherstone's The Railway? Normal pub... ominous looking equipment lying around...
Daniel Powell gets ten minutes with Dallas Green, the man behind City And Colour.
In the cavernous grime of the Well, it is forever night time. Forever a luminous green-tinged, stale tobacco-clad dark age.
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.
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.
