The Nervous Shakedown: Untitled
Well known for their sleazy stoner rock The Nervous Shakedown have been spreading their own brand of guitar filth across West Yorkshire.
Sadly, I've forgetten the accepted history of the synthesizer. Did Prof. Moog descend from the mountain top to impart the mystic benefits of his new electronic musicianship?
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club @ Leeds Festival 2002
Listening to Black Rebel Motorcycle Club makes you want to lie down outside and watch the stars while you let yourself slip into a trance and soak in the grungy retro grooves.
Only 19 and thrashing their long locks around on the front cover of this new EP, Desert Monkey are clearly having a good time.
Ether is a 3 piece stoner rock band, originally formed in early 2006. It is the brain child of Daniel Christie and Andrew Budby, who were later joined by Jamie Mooney and Andrew Candlish of Child Loses Arm.
Three Man Amp's take on the genre of indie rock is one that has been heard before and will most likely be heard again, thanks to the never ending supply of bands that are churned out by record labels to meet the demands of the lazy MTV2 fans, who base their musical tastes on the NME chart.
The strangely comic-book title of Mogwai's latest single belies its formidable take on not quite stoned but definitely stoner-influenced riffage.
Dandy Warhols @ Leeds Festival 2002
Two potential schools of thought here. A laidback and pretty stoner rock vibe is perfect for a sunny Summer afternoon on the Main Stage or could it be there's a pervasive sense of ennui because the Dandy Warhols have been hauling the dead gee-gee of 'Thirteen Tales From Urban Bohemia' around for just a wee bit too long.
The Nervous Shakedown: They've Come To Save Us
Here's a question for you. What do you get when you cross Kyuss, Queens of the Stone Age and the Desert Sessions?
Nightmares On Wax: In A Space Outta Sound
Nightmares on Wax are one of Leeds' most beloved institutions - particularly among those with a certain predilection for a certain form of naturally growing intoxicants.
As Green Day have been propelled into front runners of the pop punk genre it seems almost natural that a whole hoard of hero worshippers would crawl out of the woodwork to offer their tributes.
MySpace.com is a funny place. Millions of bands and people all coming together to try and out-cool each other on a global scale.
Six By Seven: Ready For You Now
This is a right good conventional guitar/keyboards band doing a proper pop song with all the right ingredients and no artificial colouring.
Desert Monkey: Made Great By A Breeze
Starting off with the title track sounding like a rougher Kyuss with furious bluesy guitar riffage and fat drums, Desert Monkey are looking like quite the heads down, balls to the wall rock band.
You can't help but wonder what kind of band would have an album cover featuring a naked woman being mounted by a giant scorpion.
Tonight's entertainment was a mixed bag of punk, blues and prog, stoner doors stuff, which surprisingly went together well, though no band lit up the evening as something special.
Various Artists: Heathen Angel - Volume 2
The last compilation album I bought was Now 29 on cassette back in 1994 and the last time I saw it was in 1998 when it was discovered in a draw full of old musty books after which it was thrown into a plastic bin bag and donated to some orphans.
Big Business: Here Come the Waterworks
You may not have heard of these, but if I say The Melvins to you, well you may still be in the dark. When the fuzzy haired ones toured the UK at the end of last year, they were supported by Big Business, who now make up fifty percent of The Melvins with Buzz Osbourne and Dale Crover (yes, there are two drummers).
These Arms Are Snakes @ Cockpit
Due to early stage times, and late busses I arrive at the Cockpit just in time to catch the last few tracks of WhoresWhoresWhores.
Creature With The Atom Brain: I Am The Golden Gate Bridge
After two vinyl-only EPs, The Snake and Kill The Snake, I Am The Golden Gate Bridge is the first full-length album from the bizarrely named Creature With The Atom Brain, the brainchild (no pun intended) of Aldo Struyf.
Hailing from the same village as myself, Session X arrive on the Leeds scene and rip through four tracks of furious funk tinged soulful tunes, guaranteed to have either a foot tapping or a head nodding.
It was a funny ole evening and was one of those gigs where there were loads of Mums and Aunties and Pringle wearing Dads hunched in embarrassment at the back near the bar...
Screaming their way all the way from Japan, home of lock n loll, Electric Eel Shock are here for your daughter.
Redwire declare on their website to be "the most exciting band to come out of Bradford ever!" Considering at the minute the only other Bradford band I can think of are Embrace...
So here we are then, for another instalment in the Bright Young Things series, put together by Steve Kind.
Never without incident or injury, the NME Rock n Roll Riot Tour burst into the Refectory for its opening night with blown amps wreaking havoc during the highly anticipated set from The Fratellis.
First up at Tuesday's Elustrious night were Leeds skank-meisters UNIT - a seven-piece whose horn enhanced take on dub was straight from the lo-fi, speaker-shuddering rulebook of 60s and 70s Jamaican studio supremo King Tubby.
The Research @ Brudenell Social Club
Quite what The Engine Room think they're doing by opening the evening with The Nervous Shakedown, I do now know.
Interview: All My Friends Are Dead
Gavin Miller speaks with Leeds' newest post-rock prodigies All My Friends Are Dead
A forte of young bands tonight graced the Well on Friday night. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think there was one performer tonight that was older than 20 and many were under 18.
So here we have an "unsigned band showcase". Call me bitter, and even counter productive in the encouragement of fledgling bands but I hate these things.
Live music seems to be undergoing some kind of renaissance in Leeds at the moment, with several new venues popping up here and there.
One Bullet Left @ Snooty Fox (Wakefield)
The Snooty Fox in Wakefield is slightly different to the majority of pubs that you'll will have no doubt drank in.
