Cat Power @ Leeds Festival 2001
Chan Marshall - she of Cat Power fame is a small friendly lady strumming away at an electric guitar on her own.
It had certainly been a long time. Cast your mind back to May 1999 and remember Brass Monkey. Clean sweepers on the Leeds Music Parade.
Itch: Well, Well, Well, Three Holes in the Ground
Itch's Mike Milner has the biggest mouth in Leeds. Not that he slags people off or anything. He just uses it to scream unbelievably, painfully, loud.
The Party Animals @ Highwood Hotel
Tonight, The Highwood saw 4 bands. I'll admit here that I'm not too sure who is who with this bill (in approximate terms).
The Smokestacks @ Cockpit (acoustic bar)
Mary Wanna Smile were a very solid, straight-forward rock band, performing some well crafted acoustic ditties.
Go to a folk gig... what is that about? Well, I've been into Kate Rusby's music since I got her excellent album "10" as a present from a discerning music lover.
Formerly known as Silence in D Minor on the Free to be me EP, "Violence" always has been a strong song.
I have to admit that when I arrived at The Cockpit this evening I was rather excited - tonight's gig was sold out, I had a new dress and the stage was all decked out in various neon lights and decorative paraphernalia.
A very fine evening of music was presented by Logo Magazine in conjunction with Leeds based Uglyman Music Ltd and Stuckup Music.
Liam Frost: Show Me How The Spectres Dance
At only 22 years old, Manchester's Liam Frost, with the accompaniment of The Slowdown Family, has received enormous praise for his brooding and thoughtful brand of acoustic-folk-indie, likened to Badly Drawn Boy, and hailed by some as Britain's answer to Bright Eyes.
Bad Beat Revue @ Joseph's Well
There are about a dozen people in the room but I think somebody has forgotten to tell Bad Beat Revue's front man.
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.
The Durbervilles @ Otley Folk Festival
There are certain bands who have been busy round West Yorkshire for quite a few years, getting better at what they do rather more quickly than they get better known for doing it.
Atmosphere makes a big difference. As the crowds amass at the Met this evening, there seems to be an almost tacit consensus amongst the crowd that we're all here to be unashamed music lovers and, dare I say it, geeks.
Schadenfreude. I bet The Nearly Men do this a lot. To put it quite frankly, there's a hell of a lot of bands out there that are not fit to lick these talented bastards' shoes.
Band Profile: The Bluefoot Project
The Bluefoot Project are an amalgamation of urban heads fusing many different styles into a vocal-led, beat-driven, 21st century soulful funk with nods in the right direction to reggae, hip hop, gospel and leftfield.
Yet another cosmopolitan line-up, yet another eclectic yet highly accomplished night of music. This job certainly ain't getting any harder.
I'll skip over Lily Fraser's part in proceedings - if I'd wanted a warbler on a perch I'd have bought a canary - and skip straight to Stars, all the way from Montreal to play at the Brudenell.
How do you go about describing a man who has had so many superlatives thrown his way already. With plaudits expressed such as amazing, utterly brilliant and a genius talent countless times already then you can already grasp what talent we are dealing with.
"A great name, it's a great name. They must be great." That was the logic that I mustered up as I walked through the Cockpit doors.
First up, playing to a half empty square, are The Motorettes. These Geordie guys aren't half bad really, even though they fit the mould of typical indie rockers.
Chicken Legs Weaver @ New Roscoe
First, a grumble. Tonight, there were three great acts on for a measly three quid, on a well though out bill, in a venue just outside the city centre, with probably the most consistently good sound in the city.
i concur @ Brudenell Social Club
Perhaps it's the excessive rock posturing and lunging, but tonight Dinosaur Pile-up seem more of a rock behemoth than ever.
Stateless @ Brudenell Social Club
It is about 8.15 when the Worriedaboutsatan boys set up in front of the Brudenell stage. There is a small crowd of people gathered to watch Gav and Tom as they begin to create strange noises scattered with heavy cut up beats and slow swarming chords.
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.
As far as unsung classics goes, debut Hope of the States album 'The Lost Riots' has got to be up there with the most frustratingly unrecognised genius releases of the past decade.
"When you're on, yeah you're really fuckin' on!" yells the diminutive Jenny Lewis, singer and guitarist for Rilo Kiley, an odd looking bunch of misfits from the stable of Saddle Creek, the label started by one Conor Oberst and pals.
Leeds' Stateless, after seemingly never ending games of label (hip)hop scotch, have finally released their long awaited self-titled full-length.
Gruff Rhys @ Hebden Bridge Picture House
With his second solo album "Candylion", Gruff Rhys has produced one of the most charming records of the year and tonight is a chance to witness the Welsh genius at work in the flesh.
i concur @ Brudenell Social Club
There's a strong sociable ambience at tonight's EP launch for i concur. The whole evening is endearingly informal - partly a product of the choice of venue, but most importantly of the obvious musical friendships between groups.
She's Not Dead: Together We Are Strangers
Once upon a time (last July) in a land (not so very) far, far away (Manchester Piccadilly train station), two of my best and loveliest cohorts, Catie and Morena, and I stumbled across two male figures patiently sitting on the same lonely platform as ourselves.
I knew I really couldn't miss this! I have seen both Albeit and Sugarvalve before but not Mariko. Saying that I feel as though I have.
Joseph's Well in Leeds have played host to some rather well-known bands if their posters are anything to go by - and over the last few months it seems like they've booked mostly Biffy Clyro support bands (thisGirl, The Boxer Rebellion, X is Loaded and some little London outfit named Brigade...).
Pulled Apart by Horses @ Moor Music Festival 2008
There are countless laudable aspects of the weekend that will have been taken away by all of the festival-goers, but arguably it's Moor Music Festival's inclusive eclecticism that deserves the biggest pat on the back.
Click Here For Review 2 Sometimes a band comes along with a little extra. I had seen this band in Leicester on the Wednesday, its Saturday now and I'm in Leeds for only the third time in my life.
Picture the scene, playing a gig and someone comes up to you asking to review their CD. OK or so I thought!
Jeremy Smoking Jacket @ Packhorse
Two Bristol artists and Leeds' 7 Hertz made their way over to the tiny packed out room above the bar at the Packhorse for a night of fantastic experimental music.
four day Hombre @ Royal Park Cellars
There's a vibe in the air tonight, a tangible, swelling excitement that seems to accompany the Hombre lads everywhere they travel.
Bright Young Things 2008: the 15 successful bands are revealed
Following an intense two-day judging process, the fifteen successful acts for Bright Young Things 2008 have been announced today.
Far From The Dance @ Fagins Bar (Halifax)
What makes particular pieces of art, music and literature widely deemed as 'good'? I would muse that anything's worth is determined by how unique it is.
