Gentleman's Pistols: Just A Fraction
Lizzylike, juicy, succulent and compelling, Chris Rogers's guitar snakes its way out of Adam Clarke's drumbeat to proclaim the moment has arrived for James Atkinson to let us have it with the vocal and find out what 'Just a Fraction' is all about.
Oasis, Libertines Monkeys and Pistols influenced northern 4 peice band.
DJ Scotch Egg @ Brudenell Social Club
As expected from a night run by omnipresent and ever-insane Leeds musicians / promoters / general busybodies Adam Benbow-Browne (Café Adam, Ad Hoc) and Matt Reid (Chickenhawk, The Grand March, ex-Whores Whores Whores), things get off to an unusual start with a rabbit playing Street Fighter in the middle of the room.

Dub Pistols: Six Million Ways To Live
From the initial crooning lecture on the history of Dub this is an eclectic crossover journey through hip-hop, funk, dance, dub and ska.
The Sunshine Underground @ Faversham
Maybe it was the prospect of seven hundred ("Seven hundred??!") people squishing like marinaded sardines into the Faversham with such proximity that all sorts of potentially frisky things could happen; maybe it was the atmospheric buzz zipping about visibly like an electric-blue bolt of lightning over an array of extravagantly-varied haircuts; or maybe it was the range of world beers on offer but, whichever way, The Fourth Festival Of Nasty proved to be one stonking, stamping, stage-invading beast of an event with antlers Pan himself would have been proud of pronged firmly up its derrière.

Grand Theft Audio @ Leeds Festival 2001
In Jay Butler, Grand Theft Audio possess a huge, intimidating figure to provide the killer touch to a sample-guitar-noise fusion.

An addictive combination of sound, lyric and attitude that make you want to jump around like a demented frog!
Ever remember that band Violent Delight? You remember, the cheeky chappies that had a minor hit with that song about wanting to be a girl.
John Peel gets the ball rolling tonight; just as I sit down to review spiky Leeds starlets Lorimer, he plays the cover of Ferry-penned "Over You", the second song on their new "George Oldfield" EP.
Various Artists: Dangerlust / Hinterland - split single
"Touch My Ass" eh? Well, if you describe yourself as a dirty, sleazy scuzzy rock band then I might have to pass on that - I might catch something.
Mr Dogg: Get Out of the Warehouse
This 6 track EP races insanely through Jam popness, Pistols punkness, punk skaness and punk death metalness.
Fight! Fight! Fight! While Leeds pats itself on the back for being the epicentre of new wave pop-rock it could be ambushed by its angry southern Sheffield siblings with a fair slap round the chops and a firm size 10 in the arse.
Wednesday night's show at Joseph's Well was one of the best I've seen in the last three months. The two bands fit well together and each played good, rocking sets.
Crash Cartel. Hmmm, now there's a name you can't help but think you've heard before but in which lifetime god only knows.
The Parkinsons @ Leeds Festival 2002
Twelve months ago a rough looking, attitude laden and downright riotous Portuguese four-piece opened up the Carling Stage proceedings to a mere fifty people.
Five nice blokes, four affable tracks. Some springy little guitar riffs and a load of enthusiasm. A goofy, friendly CD with a big SG type guitar in moody black and white on the sleeve.
The Wind-up Birds: My Life Was Ruined By The Wind-Up Birds
"Warning signal, warning sign, put these thoughts out of your mind" are the first words that you are greeted with when listening to The Wind-up Birds' new EP and they will be same words that you'll spend the next week singing to yourself whether you like it or not.
The Parkinsons: A Long Way To Nowhere
It doesn't seem like yesterday that I reviewed and interviewed four guys for Mean Fiddler. Riotous exhibitionists, yet the nicest guys you're ever going to meet out behind the scenes, they were out on a day trip to prop up the Saturday morning third-stage festivities at Leeds Festival, and the 'Fiddler, whatever their reasons, didn't publish any of it.
Phluid's "Iconoclast" EP, a three track CD, features the band returning to a much more raw, energy driven sound.
Foruta @ Victor Wardmans (Keighley)
MISLED VISION I probably wasn't the only one who was expecting a group of kids trying to play their own style of music.
It may have been the 1st of April but there were no fools on display tonight. Kicking off proceedings were the highly energised Vatican Jet who ripped through a set of grinding riffs with a sharp British edge.
Whirlwind Heat @ Joseph's Well
Don't you just love it when the support band turns out to be better than the headliners? Of course you don't know that when you're watching them, but they turn out to be the unexpected surprise of your evening.
Neils Children take the stage and fire into their opening number. Alarm bells start ringing immediately.
Neils Children: Always the Same
Wow that's a sick guitar sound! Yet it pounds around my head picking up on each one of my senses. This is a crazy indie-punk number from Neils Children, sounding like The Futureheads mixed with Pistols-esque vocals yet they have their own unique psychedelic feel to the piece.
Electric Soft Parade @ Cockpit
Icelandic moodsmiths Lorien aren't exactly influenced by the Sex Pistols. No, Radiohead are probably more their bag.
Punk glam rockers Phluid's debut LP 'Cynical Smile' does exactly what you want it to - plays loud, fast and with it's cross dressing, black-eyed, drug pumped heart on it's sleeve.
As I'm standing about by the bar Ormondroyd wander around on stage checking instruments and wires, trying not to look too conspicuous as people like me stare at them.
If The Vine is less than half empty then The Terminals performance is anything but half-arsed. Singer Phil Privelidge teeters on one leg as his eyes bulge and his vocal cannon rains more blows on our ears, already battered to submission by the howitzer guitars and gunshot drumming.
So how does this work? Out of nowhere, a lo-fi, home recorded CD goes on the stereo after a hard day.
Just as The Buzzcocks and more recently the Sex Pistols have celebrated their thirty year anniversaries, The Misfits and their horror punk are touring for their birthday.
Jeepster look uncomfortable. Their Noel Gallagher-style rock ballads are underpinned by some nice piano and Hammond organ, but like a potato sandwich, they also lack intrigue.
On the surface of things, The Young Knives do not come across as an instantly likeable band. Their whole geek-chic image, seemingly meaningless moniker and ludicrously named bass player (The House of Lords, those of you who were wondering) make it easy to mark them down as achingly hip, annoyingly pretentious passengers on the indie scenester bandwagon where being able to pout is much more important than being able to play.
I swear to God. The day I finally get my wish and am sworn in as Supreme Lord of the Universe, one of the first things I will introduce is a law making it compulsory for all groups consisting of skinny white boys with guitars to do two hundred press-ups first thing on a morning to a soundtrack of "I Feel Good" and "Get Up (Sex Machine)" by James Brown.
L-shaped karaoke joint, The Vine, is the place to showcase bands without stroking their egos or firing them into major limelight.
Mangled and angry, the new-look version of Instruction were just as raucous as ever tonight, but seemed to have lost a tiny bit of their sparkle since being rearranged.
The Scaramanga Six @ Joseph's Well
Well blimey! I walk into Joseph's Well at about 3:20pm after standing in the pissing rain for 20 minutes outside the place (yes, you said you were opening at three!) but at least it gave me chance to sober up slightly seeing as I had been in Carpe Diem for the three previous hours and was somewhat jolly already.
Upon entering Jesse Malin's dressing room at Sheffield's Club Zero we encounter not only the man himself but also a bowl of jelly babies. This can only be a good thing...
The Duke Spirit @ Joseph's Well
Fact: good image + good stage presence + good songs + lot's of A&R men = getting a good record deal. ...And all this is true about Duels, the first band on tonight, at an absolutely jam-packed Joseph's Well.
