sexy rock
We found the term sexy rock in 50 articles.
At the end of opening act Shut Your Eyes And You'll Burst Into Flames' set the sweaty and furious drummer stormed off stage parting a hitherto static crowd.
Daft Punk @ Wireless Festival 2007
With my usual Sunday morning lie in, and the insistence of a cooked breakfast, I didn't arrive at Harewood House until after 3.30pm; arriving just in time to see Datarock leave the stage.
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.
Simian Mobile Disco @ Leeds Festival 2008
August Bank Holiday is upon us again and that brings with it Leeds 2008 and a rocking end to the summer music festival season.
Interview: Pulled Apart by Horses
Pulled Apart by Horses are a new, sickening, rock-dirge act who seem to be getting a little bit of attention, even though they've only played about four gigs and have two tracks on MySpace. Chris Lowe asks this motley crew what the deal is.
This venue was the first place I ever came out to in Leeds and I can now appreciate what a find it is.
Limited to only 500 copies worldwide, this 7" single on Independiente is the first offering from the Australian band's impending album Radio Wars (set for release in February).
Pink Grease are sexy in a trashy, New York fanshionista way, and with the inclusion of The Greasettes- three girl backing singers- you can guarantee there will be someone on stage you want to fuck.
As soon as I step into the events hall, I'm overcome by a smog of sweat and smoke. From the bar, the venue seemed quite empty, but it is rammed.
The Vitamins: You Got Me Singing
We're forever being told that vitamins are good for us. Now it's time to find out the whole truth... Formed two years ago (contrary to pesky scientists belief, I am told), The Vitamins are said to specialise in 'whitebluespoppunkrock', although they could do will adding a little 'glam' tag to their snappy genre; 'You Got Me Singing' certainly contains the sultry distinctive stomp of many a T-Rex pretender gone by.
The Glitterati: You Got Nothing on Me
It's like 1986 all over again. Mike Clink has picked up on five sleazy young men with a self belief bordering on arrogance, honed their raw talents and added the layer that separates great from greatness.
School age kids and those a little more, how shall I put it, mature - those that experienced punk the first time round - seem to have a fascination with France's most delectable garage punk export: les Flames!
It was the first Bad Sneakers of the new term and things got off to a riotous start with Leeds scenos-a-plenty heading down to check out this evening's musical talent.
Smilex are from Oxford. They're inventive and spirited and should do a fizzing stir-fry of set at the Royal Park Cellars when they come to Leeds on November 1st.
The Glitterati: Here Comes A Close Up
The second single as The Glitterati, and their major label debut, sees the Leeds five-piece complete the task of putting to tape their entire current set list.
Soledad Brothers: Voice of Treason
I'd like to draw an analogy if I may, (bear with me, this is going somewhere) between retro rock music and vintage clothing.
I am loving the whole boy/girl vocal trend that seems to be kicking off at the moment. The Subways, Young Heart Attack, The Raveonettes all get the thumbs up from me for proving that rock 'n' roll is not gendered.
A return to the city he calls home, for David Gedge, in his most famous incarnation, this was always going to be an emotional affair and a sweep through a 20 year-old back catalogue proved to be just that.
Quality. Mariko made a welcome return back to Leeds' Rocket Venue and produced a performance worthy of their recent press exposure.
Bank Holiday Monday and "Lock & Load" bring us four local bands to play the Rocket Venue, fast becoming the best middle sized venue in Leeds, following the closure of the Duchess in March.
When I got there I was not sure who was supporting the Donnas and had no great expectations of them. The room took ages to fill up and I thought that it may be quiet due to other gigs taking place in Leeds, but as the SAHARA HOTNIGHTS took to the stage the room was nicely filling up.
It was with some trepidation that I approached The Mixing Tin last Friday as the bassist of reasonably new boys on the scene The High Chairs, had been sporadically emailing me and seemed like such an affable and friendly chap that I was absolutely terrified that the band would be awful and I'd have to say something negative about them and crush poor Roj's hope and dreams.
I battled my way through the scrum of fancy dress students that seem to be permanently hanging about near the door of the Packhorse, skipped passed the street drinkers getting out of the cold, and headed upstairs.
I ventured out to see Milf after a recommendation from a friend (who is however slightly biased, being the bassist's girlfriend!).
Portabello: Once Around The Sun
Portabello are a professional bunch. This CD is well produced, looks good and is being pushed through major retail chains nationwide from an independent base without using the usual distributors.
Charlotte Hatherley: Grey Will Fade
You can almost see the cogs at work. "I'm virtually guaranteed rock star rights for the next 5-10 years thanks to Tim Wheeler's pop dynamic sensibilities, the definitive Best of will be released soon giving me a pretty tasty cash flow and I am adored by all frustrated, sweaty indie boys aged 14-30, who find me sexy in a dominating, older woman type way.
Brutal Tinkerbell @ New Roscoe
If ever there was a lesson for new bands to learn then Future Sons Of Rome are it. 1) Your singer should never wear sunglasses unless you are playing on the main stage of a festival or have sold out a well lit arena.
Imagine a world where Axl is king, and Wayne and Garth are the court jesters. Time stands still beyond the Eighties, and Francis Rossi and Lemmy have a love child.
I hate buses. The result of standing, freezing my backside off for 25 minutes, at a deserted bus stop in the middle of Kirkstall, was me, missing first support band of the night, The Detonators.
After spending Saturday watching sport, namely Leeds Utd beating Liverpool, then spending the early evening at Joseph's Well, where the glamorous (or is it sexy?) Albeit were set to headline yet again, I ventured down to The Rocket.
What once was Parva is now The Kaiser Chiefs. With a brand new set and a brand new sound the band introduce their new selves to us with "Less Is More".
CJ's Music Bar is a relatively new venue on the Leeds live music circuit and is tucked away somewhat in the depths of Kirkstall.
Various Artists: The Nyquist Theory
The Nyquist Theory is a compilation of tracks that emerged from the talent that lay around the offices of Hampshire's Hackpen Records.
A few weeks ago I teased Kez, lead singer with local band Albeit, after they secured a support slot with Scottish rockers Idlewild at Bradford University.
Poor Pifco. Unfortunately for them, the organisers of tonight's event, Tiny Cat, haven't realised that for those living outside of the city centre the cutoff point is basically about 11pm.
If God was Scottish and in a band (and some troubled FF fans think he already is), by divine right he would be signed to Chemical Underground.
Us Anglophones seem reluctant to embrace le rock français. While we'll happily pose and mosh to Scandinavian garage, dance to French electronica and (reluctantly) acknowledge that our Gallic neighbours do the rap thing better than us, digging French boys with guitars appears to be a little beyond us us still.
James Brown caught up with Leeds trio The Lodger midway through their nationwide tour with The Long Blondes
After the most stressful and unnerving day ever I was in need of some music, so off I race to RPC just in time to catch the catch the start of the All Star 69ers.
Damien Rice is already on stage as I enter the hall and I later discover I have missed support act Carrie Tree.
Manic Street Preachers @ Leeds Festival 2008
A night of torrential rain hasn't dampened anyone's spirits, although the ground is a little muddier than it has been over the previous 48 hours.
Colour of Fire, acclaimed local(ish) alt-rockers, opened up tonight in front of a reasonable crowd. Having just finished a considerable UK tour, they didn't seem at all tired, or perturbed to back in their regular gigging territory.
Aah, Ali Whitton. Complete with band and an adoring banner held aloft in the crowd, the smiley cherub began to play a nigh-on perfect cluster of gentle, isolated islands of songs, doing admirable battle with The Bloody Nokia Phone Tent blasting out the sounds of drunkards roaring "Foooooooooo Figgggghhhhhhhteeeeeeearrrrghhhsssss" as lions may well do during the mating season.
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.
Student feeding-ground by day, 'The Refectory' at Leeds University Union may not seem like the obvious location for a night of top musical entertainment, but I was certainly impressed by the sound and light show at the excellent Placebo gig here this time last year.
Leeds Music Scene asks This Et Al some burning - or at least mildly broiling - questions in the wake of some storming dates in the North and in anticipation of the release of the Figure Eight EP...
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.
Charlotte Hird caught up with Simple Plan when they supported Bowling for Soup at LMUSU
