The Cut: Walking Lonely Streets EP
Has anyone ever seen a really cheesy porno flick, or even a piss take of one? If you have then you will most likely have heard that defining music that plays in the background.
Band Profile: The Pattern Theory
The Pattern Theory was formed in 2006 by Carl Carlson (Guitar), Lukas Creswell-Rost (Guitar), James Yates (Drums) and Danny Laycock (Bass).
We are six experienced musicians based around the Leeds, Bradford, and Harrogate area. We consist of Lead Vocals, Lead, Rhythm, Bass, Drums and Keyboard.
This two tracker from The Outlines is a self-produced side step from the rock-pop formula adopted on previous releases.
The Checks are one of those extremely rare bands whose musical output is far more advanced than they are in age - put simply, this fresh-faced New Zealand band were in the right place at the right time when talent was being, unequally, handed out.
The Couderhae Connection: Untitled
A five track demo from a new (to me) acoustic duo is a very pleasant end to a good weekend. Ben Wetherill and Matthew Loveday provide two guitars, alternating voices, a bass guitar and a cello to show off five delicate and (mostly) well-made songs.
Sounding like five tracks fresh from the rehearsal rooms this demo announces another exciting project from Kevin McGonnel of And None of Them Knew They Were Robots.
Mazeppa: Kick It for the Low Times
It's easy to believe that Mazeppa smell of soap, so clean is their music. Jazz, Blues, Broadway Musical and pub rock roots combine to cut a straighter than straight middle of the road path for this Bolton outfit.
This record made me nostalgic for 2003. Look there's Franz Ferdinand climbing rapidly up the greasy pole, from Carling Stage to festival headliner, from NME tour opener to cover idols.
Thanks to the note at the bottom of the flyers I managed to get the bus up there this time (56/57), it's a long walk from town otherwise, but well worth it!
Monster Killed By Laser @ Packhorse
At gigs in pubs I usually turn up too late to see the first act, sadly today was not one of those days.
deep house dance pop
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.
I've got a lot of time for the Cardboard Brothers ... forced screamy voice notwithstanding. They are creating their own sound, and finding a genuinely distinctive corner of pop territory all of their own.
Mr. Shiraz have everything you could possibly want in a band: a very well polished horn section, a mean looking drummer, hyper-singers (including an all singing all dancing version of Bez on acid) walking bass and funky guitar.
"I've been waiting twenty years for that" beams my equally "sweaty as me" mate as we pile back into the car.
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.
lo-fi indie
The Hi Fi Club is nicely full. Not heaving. Nicely full. It's a Friday, and the young and beautiful of Leeds have come out.
A Hawk And A Hacksaw @ Holy Trinity Church
Contemporary Music Network tours are usually pretty special. But this was extra special. This was my first time in the Holy Trinity Church, and whilst the architecture hardly resembles that of the York Minster or Barcelona's Sagrada Familia, I don't think there are any live venues in Leeds which can match this type of setting.
Walking on 'stage' (i.e. area defined by monitors, speakers etc) following a spasticated 'Freres Jacques', in their usual display of solidarity, les Flames!
Dinosaur Pile-up @ Leeds Festival 2008
Matt Bigland, guitar and vocals, Tom Dornford-May, bass guitar, and Steve Wilson drums are the relatively new Dinosaur Pile-up.
North South Divide: Another Fine Day
When you have songs that are worth writing, a gift for melody, and a workmate who can do rich musical arrangements, you do the obvious thing.
Invention Of Hands: Consider Yourself Denied EP
The first thing I noticed was the high standard of the artwork & packaging, which would not look at all out of place in the racks at HMV; however, the CD itself is plain and detracts from the overall appearance.
With people still slowly drifting into the venue The Glitterati take to the stage. A crack of drums and a howl of overdriven guitars sees the band launch into 'Heartbreaker' and a rampant set that keeps upping the energy levels with each song until you feel veins are going to burst somewhere on stage.
Elvis Perkins and backing band Dearland are the perfect band to get people in the mood for some folk.
Sometimes in life, there is light at the end of the tunnel, a little ray of sunshine on an otherwise cloudy day.
Live music seems to be undergoing some kind of renaissance in Leeds at the moment, with several new venues popping up here and there.
Vessels: White Fields and Open Devices
"You're going home in a Yorkshire ambiance!" Vessels are five young men with a grand, epic vision that resonates throughout their debut album "White Fields and Open Devices".
Yo La Tengo @ West Yorkshire Playhouse
You gotta love the music industry. I arrive at the rather plush West Yorkshire Playhouse excited, yet a little nervous because of all this guest list stuff.
Various Artists: Digital Northerner III
If you procure Digital Northerner in the expectation of the latest bleepy electro-pop from the north of England then you're in for something of a shock.
There's was no support listed for tonight's gig, so it's a surprise when a lone figure wanders onto the stage and picks up an acoustic guitar.
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.
There is laughter in the air tonight; people look determined to have fun. Young innocent faces rejuvenate my past and my Sixth Form days come flooding back to me.
To be honest I had never heard of the first two bands that were on the bill this evening, so I went into this completely blind but very open to the prospect of hearing something new and fresh to my ears.
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.
A generous crowd packed into The Vine on a hot, sweaty and very eclectic night. Though competing with The Blueskins playing at The Cockpit, and the perpetually popular Big Brother finale, tonight's gig was well attended and another success for the team at The Vine - a venue that has fast stamped its foot on the Leeds scene and continues to showcase some of Leeds', and as it turned out tonight, the UK's, best unsigned talent.
Review featured with permission from www.whisperinandhollerin.com Upon walking through the front doors, the first thing you notice tonight is just how young looking 90% of the 300 strong crowd is inside the aircraft hanger like Cockpit.
After a week of assaulting the laser on my overworked CD player and my wife's ears through demo offerings from both these bands, I knew, before even walking through the Vine door this was going to be a fantastic showcase.
What a stupid rule! You're in the venue but to get to the room where the bands will be performing you have to go back outside and round to the other entrance instead of walking ten yards through the doors in front of you, quickly supping off the fresh pint you've just acquired!
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?
Fall Out Boy is: Patrick Stump - Vocals, Guitar Joe Trohman - Guitar Andy Hurley - Drums Pete Wentz - Bass, Backing vocals While walking across the stage to receive the MTV2 Award for "Sugar, We're Going Down," the only thing on Fall Out Boy bassist and lyricist Pete Wentz's mind was "please don't drop an f-bomb." Shortly thereafter the band, originally from suburban Chicago, was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best New Artist.
It's nights like this that show what's great about the Leeds music scene. As I'm walking to the Well it pisses it down.
The Sunshine Underground @ LMUSU
Fans were gathering and touts were waiting even before the doors opened at 7 tonight. For this was to be the triumphant homecoming and tour finale of local (kinda) hero's The Sunshine Underground.
I'd never been to basement before as I kind of think of it as out of the way, and not somewhere I really want to walk at night, but I saw the note asking for a reviewer, realized it was going to be an electronica based night and then got told I could get into the club afterwards for free, once I had paid for the gig - SOLD!
