Well hasn't someone been listening to The Stone Roses? Was it the guitarist? I think it was wasn't it!
Band Profile: Angel Chain Diaries
indie rock
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.
Quick refresh on Recess. This Recess is not the "grunge Recess" that has been reviewed a couple of times in the live section over the past month or so.
The Music: Take The Long Road And Walk It
Currently unsigned, this 4-piece from Leeds are already being hailed as the biggest thing since Oasis.
Unclejohnny: Old Men Round A Table
I've heard a lot about this band from various people but never actually seen or heard them so it was good to finally hear them.
Chapter Thirteen: Fighting Your Soul EP
"I don't need your cure for illness, This disease is keeping me from falling", reflects a poignant insight into the continued striving for deserved recognition from Chapter Thirteen.
The first band were STONEFISH who I'd never seen before. The things that struck me were the singer's amazing natural voice and the guitarist's energy.
Early starts usually mean the opening band play to no one; sadly for Medium 21 this was true tonight.
... A funny thing happened to me on the way to the refectory. Actually it didn't, I was just late. Almost as late in fact as the members of The Basement are for the Dylan bandwagon that they seem so keen to jump on.
The Soft Explosions: Ride Between The Eyes
From the same rock family tree as Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and The Brian Jonestown Massacre come The Soft Explosions, a New York four-piece rock'n'roll combo in the classic Stones mould.
Guns'n'Roses @ Leeds Festival 2002
August bank holiday weekend rolls around again and this years Leeds festival will rock!!! Anticipation is high after an amazing return for the Glastonbury festival earlier on in the year.
Mancunians? ...surely not, you mean The Rain Band are from Manchester... I'd never have guessed, or should I say "Ayyeeeed nevuur av guezzed man!" Oh yes - review for the short on attention: do you like Joy Division, The Stone Roses, New Order, Flowered up, Mansun, Space Monkeys and most things on Factory Records?
The West Country boys are back with a new 'Best Of' album including 5 new songs. This is the first of them and as the funky guitar and strong bass kicks in it's instantly recognisable as Reef, although it sounds slicker than anything we've heard from them before.
This latest release from Mud Hut new boys Mondo, left me wondering if there was more to this band than meets the eye.
Welcome to the dark side of the garage. Imagine, if you will, the sound of Iggy Pop wandering into The Strokes' studio and repeatedly battering them about the head with a mic stand while shouting "NO NO NO!
It's wrong to compare, but what first attracted me to this band was a rock rush, the crash of a song, in an unashamedly indie way.
The Refectory was the venue for the legendary Mr Brown. No, not the famous soul singer Mr James Brown (RIP) but the ex Stone Roses lead singer.
Why aren't Cope playing live more often in Leeds - or have I been missing something? This CD is pretty good you know, with an almost retro/indie rock feel to it.
When a band includes ex members of Guns and Roses and the singer from Stone Temple Pilots it is impossible not to draw comparisons between those bands and the new one those members have formed Velvet Revolver.
Velvet Revolver: Fall To Pieces
I'm starting to wish I'd been more into Guns n Roses when I was younger. I also wish I'd taken more notice of the advice that I'd like Stone Temple Pilots.
When I received this EP from Dave I knew absolutely nothing about Hatch or their music so this is a new experience for me!
Getting around to reviewing the four-track CD from Mozer - not to be mistaken with Mozzer... "We're not a Morrissey tribute band" - has been brought to the fore in the last few days due to dialogue with former Seahorses drummer, Andy Watts.
It's difficult to know what to say about this music. Ever start telling someone a joke and forget the punch line halfway through?
The Pipers: Medicine Cabinet EP
Imagine, if you will, The Spin Doctors meet Pavement with Ray Lamontage as the lead singer. That's what we have here with this fantastic EP from The Pipers.
Melodic/indie/pop rock
Kid Coda are billed as the North-Eastern equivalent of Super Furry Animals, which in itself is a massive tag for an upcoming band.
All girl three piece Brutal Tinkerbell may well be easy on the eye, but not so on the ears. It's sort of female rock in that lo-fi grrrl sense, but the pieces don't fit well together: "this lot are a little ropey" was the warning from the Well crew in advance of their first chord and half an hour later I leave with the same conclusion.
electro/dance/indie
If you like your music to the point and under 3 minutes then you might be better taking a wide berth around My Computer.
Ooberman returned to West Yorkshire to celebrate the release of their debut album, The Magic Treehouse.
Back when I was 16 and in my snotty indie-kid phase (yes I have grown out of it), back in Manchester, I used to wander round Affleck's Palace and buy dodgy tapes of bands like the Happy Mondays and Northside that sounded like they had been recorded at the back of a church hall.
Although not advertised on the initial line-up, the appearance of Morassi caught my eye at last Friday's Joseph's Well HMV Showcase gig.
Bridewell Taxis re-formed after a 14-year absence with a triumphant hometown show in front of a sell-out crowd at Joseph's Well in October.
Mungo Hump sounded as proficient as they did interesting as they blasted through their first two songs but the set averaged out from that point onwards.
First on were local band The Stays. Having seen them play a few months back, the progress they have made as a live band in such a short space of time was apparent from the outset.
Tonight sees the coming together of a trio of Leeds bands, including newcomers Living Thing, recent winners of the Bright Young Things 2000 competition Insense, and headliners Dionysus, the relative veterans on the night.
This was going to be Orka's review. Having watched the band on a previous occasion, and having a "little-bit-too-much-to-drink" I'd promised them a real review.
The Psychedelic Breakfast: s/t
The Pyschedelic Breakfast charge in where most would fear to tread. They have a very rough grasp of the way that some of the Los Angeles/San Franciso musics sounded nearly 40 years ago, and the sleeve displays a fancy dress appreciation of the basic visual elements of hippy chic.
"Swift will remove your mask, whether dressed in white or dressed in black." they claim. A surreptitious war on Slipknot fans?
Two things immediately spring out on the three-track demo CD from four-piece "atmospheric rockers" Lunar Camels.
I was really excited to see this gig, cos we've all heard so much about Mozo, The Real Fucky Fucky sound crazy, and the preview of bop section in cops and robbers sounds really cool.
What is a Juma? Well it depends on whom you ask... To some it's a dance riddled drug fuelled monster of funky rock and roll.
A third sold-out Leeds date for the UK's latest finding, The Music, and this time it doesn't take a guest DJ appearance to bring in the crowds.
Paranova @ The Old Cock (Halifax)
The Old Cock has recently been celebrating the renewal of is entertainment license, and a decent sized crowd had assembled in what is the town's temple of live music. The support slot was filled by a band new to my ears, a swampy rock outfit named The Roller 6ix.
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 crowd gather nervously near the back of the room as The Pigeon Detectives open up the evening's musical jamboree.
Viva la Britpop! There's been a lot of talk lately about the resurrection of that old forgotten genre of Britpop.
Friday night comes around again and the Duchess plays host to another trio of local bands. Well, I say local, but we really have to go as far as York for the first band on tonight, Baggy Blue Sky, and as far as Sheffield for a selection of the main band, Tenbob Swerver.
Saturday night, and as usual I'm off to see some indie bands... for once however I know very little about the bands I'm going to see.
Young Heart Attack @ Joseph's Well
I'm starting to wonder if someone's put a curse on me which has condemned me for an eternity of always missing the opening act when I go to review gigs at Joseph's Well - this is no less than the third time in a row that it's happened.
Explosions in the Sky: The Earth Is Not a Cold Dead Place
Texas guitar band Explosions in the Sky have been building themselves a reputation over a slow-burning three years of intense and single-minded music making.
Now here's something you don't get very often - a band who like indie music but don't sound like The Stone Roses or Oasis.
Opening proceedings tonight are local boys Infrasound. Coming across a little like Annie Christian or Delirious they specialise in riff heavy verses and more melodic, driving choruses.
One of the most frequently heard phrases that you will hear from an artist of any kind is the following: "I don't mind criticism, as long as it's constructive".
Sounding like a hybrid of The La's accompanied by Beach Boys-esque style vocals The Restaurant open a mixed evening at the Vine in terms of style and quality.
The first instalment in what was to be another very memorable night. 10,000 Things arrived with a nice solid bass, wild guitar sounds, decent vocals, a sharp percussionist and some disappointing drums, but left me feeling somewhat thwarted by a distinct lack of thought.
Charlotte Oxnard speaks with Dundee band The View ...
Infadels: We Are Not the Infadels (Live+DVD)
The album cover for We Are Not The Infadels led me to believe that Infadels were some sort of new wave electro-pop band of the To My Boy variety.
The Sunshine Underground @ Cargo (London)
Cargo, home of the Shoreditch Twat, overpriced chips, and bad service. However, tonight the service provided by The Sunshine Underground is - unlike the London Underground - First Class.
Reviews depend on trust so I'll try and give it to you straight. This guy from Otherside works at my place.
Various Artists: Lancaster: The Bands
You would have thought that Lancastrians would have come to terms with the fact that they're never going to get the better of us lot, but it would appear that they're still up for the challenge.
Having become rather disconsolate by seeing many unsigned bands who simply mimic their heroes, often succeeding in recreating the look rather than the sound of say the Libertines, Oasis and the Strokes, it was refreshing to see two bands for whom the music definitely came first at the Bassment.
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.
Fulc talk to Andy Roberts about single, tours, Kerrang and strippers...
Considering the headliner I'd expected to see more of a gathering than became evidently 'it' towards the end of the evening.
The Music @ Roadhouse (Manchester)
Review featured with permission from www.manchestermusic.co.uk Not unlike the amount of feather boas and leopard print present for the Manic Street Preachers, or backwards caps for Limp Bizkit, the traditional demin clad bowlheads fill Manchester's Roadhouse for the most hyped band this year.
Ripon's The Call get collared by Andy Roberts on their debut visit to Leeds...
Live music seems to be undergoing some kind of renaissance in Leeds at the moment, with several new venues popping up here and there.
Andy Buchan catches up with The Charlatans drummer Jon Brookes...
Chapter Thirteen @ Joseph's Well
The kids are where it's at, man. Every teenage band I've seen at the Well have got all their mates from school down and all of them get the hallowed moshpits.
It's Friday night, it's cold and it's wet, so do you stay in and get depressed because you have no friends, or do you go out to catch some top live bands from your local area giving their all in a great pub which sells decent beer, get hideously drunk in a nightclub afterwards, fall all the way home then wake up in a strange bed the next morning with little or no recollection of how, why or when?
It's a curious trait about us humans, we find release and fulfillment in a variety of different ways.
goth punk
Victoria Holdsworth caught up with The Yards' Chris Helme and his guitarist Chris Farrell for a chat to find out if they'd be playing in our yards any time soon.
Biffy Clyro @ Leeds Festival 2007
Mute Math - The Carling Stage The New Orleans quartet are perhaps only known thus far as recently re-doing the Transformers theme and for their excellent video to "Typical" which has attracted over 1 million views on Youtube.
Regardless of drawing the short straw and getting the booby prize of first slot in tonight's line up, Movement appear to not give a flying turd that the crowd is thin and they are on before your granny's bed time.
Another cracking line-up courtesy of the Blue Star boys, this time with a bit of a rockier edge leading to possibly the fullest showcase since Leeds Music Scene maestro Dave Sugden and Joseph's Well manager Karl Baird began the monthly nights back in December 2000.
MMMMBZZZZ goes the clock and I'm buzzing for pound a pint. I'm sat there, as per every pissing Friday afternoon, shooting the shit with Tommy B.
Andy Roberts gives les Flames! a grilling...
