The Pigeon Detectives to headline the White Air Extreme Sports Festival
The Pigeon Detectives will round off their summer of playing outdoors by headlining at the White Air Extreme Sports Festival on Sunday 20th September on the Isle of Wight.
Thai Bride: Non Contact Sports
Judging them on this release Thai Bride are a bloke's band. Not that they play blokes music as such, it's just that they sing about bloke's things.
Summer must be here even though it's raining outside. Indeed the sun might not be shining but The Lights are.
Black Wire to release "Hard To Love, Easy To Lay" later this month...
Black Wire's follow-up to debut Attack! Attack! Attack! will be released on Monday, 26th July. Since the NME awarded Black Wire their "Single Of The Week" back in April, the band have been busy; they appeared on Sky Sports "Soccer AM", played some ace gigs, re-pressed their sold out debut and recorded a new single.
Kaiser Chiefs to appear live on Soccer AM...
Kaiser Chiefs members Ricky, Simon and Whitey will appear on Soccer AM (Sky Sports 1) on Saturday 30th October to coincide with the release of their single "I Predict A Riot" which has been scheduled to now hit the shops the following Monday (1st Nov).
Thousands expected to watch Leeds bands for Breeze On Tour
A number of young Leeds bands will appear across the city this summer as part of the Leeds City Council Breeze events.
The Burning Brides' hearts are definitely in the right place. Read any interview and you will invariably hear singer/guitarist Dimitri Coates, attacking the conveyor-belt of crap that is today's music industry.
It would appear YSN are now just YSN, and if you didn't know what it stood for before you now never will.
If this had been a demo from an unsigned band with slightly rusty production, then this review would be simple - lack of imagination, too much time spent listening to "Definitely Maybe", too much time spent going to the Richard Ashcroft school of stage performing, completely tired lyrics about beginners politics and being hard...
When I moved to Leeds 15 years ago, the first gig I saw was in Lister Park, Bradford, with a packed crowd enjoying the sounds of The Wedding Present, who were on a stage in the middle of a lake.
"Synth-punk", "funk punk" and "neo-trash-pop" is what they say, and it is true to say that Surferosa are more pop than punk, with a sound dominated by a synthesiser and Mariann's powerful, yet seemingly glitter-and-candy-obsessed girly pink voice.
On receiving this CD I thought the band must have employed a teenage Goth as their PR as the press release accompanying this album was written in purple capitals.
Mullets. When did they become fashionable again? They're all around me. I nervously feel that I'm being punished for having a chuckle at mulletmadness.com a few days earlier, or perhaps I've been warped into a parallel universe where all the rock chick style guides insist on one.
The Shining Reserves start the evening off with some delightful loud and proud tracks. A fairly tight set with a regular rock rhythm and original local band sound.
Every time I go to the Packhorse, Leeds seems to be in the middle of a hurricane or similar. The walk from the city centre up to Hyde Park is a blustery and soaking one, but once inside things start to pick up immensely, with one of the most impressive local lineups at the venue in some time.
A Silver Mt. Zion @ Brudenell Social Club
It's sold out tonight at this tiny venue, which comes as a pleasant surprise considering these bands get very little coverage this side off the Atlantic and tonight's gig kicks of with Little Wings.
An already sold out gig sports an impressively long guestlist, which makes for a very cramped Cockpit this evening.
In doing his "which band will please Wedding Present / Cinerama fans" homework, it appears the promoter has missed the mark with his choice of support.
Panic At The Disco @ The Refectory
With a platinum selling debut album, masses of emo kids following their every move, and now the abandonment of the '!' in their name, Panic At The Disco once again came to the city of Leeds and put on a show.
Even the torrential downpour as we got out of the car, couldn't dampen the enthusiasm for tonight's gig.
Almost implausibly, tonight is the final of the Futuresound heats. All of the bands we've seen so far have been impressively talented in their chosen style, and tonight is no exception.
For a while now I've been searching for something fresh and new to add to my heavier collection, but at the same time something that still clings to the roots of the legendary bands that I grew up with - thank god for Dialog.
Sage Francis: Human the Death Dance
There was a bang-on recent summary of the average product lifespan of your typical mainstream band that I'll attribute to Dave Simpson from The Guardian.
On an evening as hot as this, being stuck in a bustling gig is not a hugely appealing prospect. Passing out from over-heating - which, as soon as you walk in to the Cockpit, does seem likely or even perhaps inevitable - really doesn't strike me as much fun either, but this gig is certainly one worth suffering for.
Something's in the air tonight at The Cockpit and it's not just the smell of the Leeds music scene's great and good as they sweat profusely in the mid-Summer's heat which stifles the city's infamous indie club.
Tonight showed just how much I enjoy spending my time down at Joseph's Well. Less than 24 hours after being played on national radio, a Peel Session no less, the Lorimer boys are out in force again; Chris on the doors as usual and Jock doing the sound.
Joseph C Seager managed to ask Amy Studt a few words about the past, present, and future before her new album 'My Paper Made Men' hits the shelves.
Manic Street Preachers @ The Refectory
The last time the Manics visited our fair metropolis (excluding a fleeting festival appearance) was nigh-on-ten years ago at the Radio One Sound City event in 1996.
Tupamaros @ Royal Park Cellars
First - an apology to NONE OF THEM KNEW THEY WERE ROBOTS - as I trotted down the steps of The Cellars for this my first "Collective AKA" night, I heard the final chord of their set and saw the singer lie down on the stage.
Received wisdom has it that Steer are something of an acquired taste. On the basis of this performance it is difficult to fathom what it is that needs to be acquired to appreciate their music other than a pair of fairly basic functioning ears.
I arrived at the Cockpit at about 8.00 pm and was pleasantly surprised to see the venue very busy for that time of night and on a Monday.
The Machines Will Take Over @ The Railway (Featherstone)
First impressions of Featherstone's The Railway? Normal pub... ominous looking equipment lying around...
Red Stars Parade: a refreshingly piquant slice dropped into Leeds' musical soft drink
Sam Saunders spoke to Chris Helme of the Yards in January 2004...
