Mindless Self Indulgence @ LMUSU
Support act Templeton Pek are at an unfair disadvantage right from the very start, as the appalling sound quality reduces their set to a wall of noise.

Cansei de Ser Sexy @ Leeds Festival 2008
Turning up on Friday morning, swapping my piece of paper for my press pass, pitching my tent in guest camping and making my way to the arena, I was really pleased I'd been able to come to Leeds this year.
First artists revealed for the Alternative Stage at Leeds Festival
Following yesterday's announcement revealing how the region's bands can play at the Reading and Leeds Festival, organisers Festival Republic have today revealed further additions to the line-up.
Unexploded Shells: Hexthorpe 1
A posthumous tribute, even if there is the occasional mediumistic tremor on Myspace. Neither too slick nor too coltish, Unexploded Shells' CD revives an old-fashioned tension in the listener over whether the band will make it to the other end of the performance tightrope without dropping off and landing on the self-destruct button.
Fort Lauderdale: Pretty Monster
It took several listens, but finally Fort Lauderdale makes sense. The British Flaming Lips perhaps? Whether intentional or not, with a copy of Sgt Peppers tucked under their arm, a psychedelic jukebox playing the best of Woodstock in the corner and a cold glass of vermouth on the bar, while reading a shiny copy of "How to play cheesy guitar solos that don't fit in your songs" (Exhibit A: "Best Days" Exhibit B: "As a boy") In actual fact the music industry desperately needs creative boundary pushing bands such as Fort Lauderdale, but ultimately it is the likes of Badly Drawn Boy that will pull on similar influences, maintain purest values and have success crafting them into works we can all appreciate.
LaRusso: My Indecision Is Final
Self recorded and self produced eh? Usually sounds like a recipe for disaster amongst local bands. Well, not this time, I suggest everyone ships out to Casa La Russo and asks them to work their magic on their own records.
Chapter Thirteen @ Joseph's Well
For a rock band like Chapter Thirteen an acoustic gig is to say the least - unexpected. I've seen the band many times and when I first heard about this gig I wondered what was going to be left without the crunching guitars and the wide range of effects they usually use in such an imaginative way.
Kid Coda are billed as the North-Eastern equivalent of Super Furry Animals, which in itself is a massive tag for an upcoming band.
Somewhere within the pristine, softly-furnished country villa that is our drummer's house, amid the archives of oversized sock catalogues, there lies a recording.
Having had this band recommended to me, receiving an email from BMG with a sound snippet and then stumbling upon a lonesome copy of this EP I decided that it was fate and took the poor little blighter home with me.
Last Temple Orchestra: Untitled
The debut EP from Leeds' Last Temple Orchestra begins in promising fashion, with the excellent 'Inside.' Its spring-heeled drums are tempered by echoey chords, giving it an interestingly ethereal edge.
So, they're good enough for John Peel, then. Still, he's not that fussy, is he? Let's face it, an hour of obscure euro punk and you start reaching for Radio 2 before seizures set in half the time - or is that just me?
The twinkly piano-pop of lead-track 'You Can Call Me Peter' isn't an instant hit, its twee Englishness being initially underwhelming.
The Coral: Nightfreak & The Sons of Becker
The latest recording form The Coral is the product of improvisational sessions. I awaited the release of this CD with anticipation since I saw them in November and heard two of the songs live.
All My Friends Are Dead @ Mixing Tin
I walk in to the Mixing Tin. It's just past nine o'clock and there's some movement on stage. Disconcertingly, Mr.
It was tempting to add the PA to the line-up on this one, as it affected the night nearly as much as the bands...
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.
This Et Al kick start the weekend with a wall of noise that pulses through you like an adrenaline shot.
Kill Hannah: Until Theres Nothing Left Of Us
Kill Hannah's 'Until There's Nothing Left of Us' saw a US release in 2006. Now, two years later, it finally gets a UK release with a modified tracklisting that sees a number of the album's original songs dropped in favour of three tracks from Kill Hannah's as-yet-unreleased-in-the-UK debut, 'For Ever and Never.' The result is more a 'best of' than a coherent album, but you can hardly blame Kill Hannah for wanting to make the best possible impression on the UK audience.
Chevron @ McDermotts (Wakefield)
Wandering into McDermotts on Saturday night I noticed that tonight held the promise of music. Four bands whose apparent self-proclaimed musical leanings sounded tempting (if beer mat flyers are to be believed).
