FEATURED ARTISTS

Marcel Fengler (Ostgut Ton / Berghain)

I have always been fascinated, obsessed almost dependent on german techno – especially the kind that almost visualizes the grittiness of urban landscape and how man reacts, adapts, interacts with his surroundings. This urban landscape, man-made, concrete and steel crevices in between buildings and walls pulsating with the sights, sounds, smells and...

Avoiding Tequila Shots, Rocking Out To Black Moth and Bringing Disco Back with Galaxians at British Wildlife Festival 2013

Leeds definitely knows how to party. Friday and Saturday was British Wildlife Festival at The Brudenell Social Club...

FEATURED ARTISTS

Vuvuvultures

The nouveau goth movement was already in full swing before I’ve even realised the full extent of it. As I sit here going through Savages‘ facebook photo album, making plans for the show with O Children and The Voyeurist tomorrow and listening to Vuvuvultures, I cannot help but feel a...

FEATURED ARTISTS

Midland

Getting back into the groove of dance music. This one is on Midland - I was inclined to write this after listening to his Bring Joy (2012 Refix), the solid, stand out track from the More Music comp that just came out earlier on this week. I’ve been to see him a few times...

NO CEREMONY/// – HURTLOVE

by Trent Rampage on May 10, 2013 • No Comments

I haven’t been myself lately at all. The past few weeks and months have been a blur, everything moving with such great speeds that the only thing constant is the residue of space they leave behind – a strange, fulfilling emptiness. I have been waking up every morning at precisely 7:43am “We live in an...

Everything Unexpected Happened at Live At Leeds 2013

by Trent Rampage on May 7, 2013 • 2 Comments

There is a reason for the title of this post. Everything unexpected DID happen at Live At Leeds 2013. Let me break it down for you: I couldn’t go to work on Friday. Someone in the office gave me a nasty bastard chest and sinus infection. By the time Saturday rolled in, I was still...

Brilliant Colors, Wharf Chambers, 8th April 2013, Leeds

by Trent Rampage on Apr 9, 2013 • No Comments

Typing this as I wolf down the microwaved leftover spag bol I made last night. Who’d have thought that the band I wrote about 3 years ago would play a gig in Leeds tonight??? I must say it is quite unfortunate that Margaret Thatcher happened to pass away on the night Brilliant Colors were playing. [Brilliant...

Exclusive Preview: Phlegm @ Canal Mills, Leeds

by Trent Rampage on Apr 4, 2013 • No Comments

So we got invited to the exclusive preview of world renowned muralist Phlegm‘s new murals that have just been completed at Canal Mills. What better person to review this than the amazing Joy G, aka Morbid (also going by the moniker Cbloxx.) As the art director for Leeds’ independent film festival No/Gloss, an established commissioned graffiti artist herself...

Maya Jane Coles

by Trent Rampage on Mar 22, 2013 • No Comments

Just as I thought it was going to be a quiet Easter weekend, we got this through the inbox: Maya Jane Coles. In Leeds. With Joy Orbison. Fuck. Yeah I know she’s played in Leeds many times but I have never got the opportunity to go see her. Finally, the time has come. For those of...

Tombed Visions Records

by Trent Rampage on Mar 1, 2013 • No Comments

I haven’t wrote in awhile and there’s a reason for that. The countless stream of useless, non-personalised emails from PR agencies who should know better than to send me badly written presspacks about artists that are totally not relevant to this blog, had me so underwhelmed and uninspired that I have turned my attention to...

If you’re like me and still not over the party mood yet, then this first post of the year is going to get you grooving nicely. Isaac Tichauer‘s I Forgive You released at the end of last year on the French Express imprint is the perfect soundtrack to accompany you while shake off the post...

In Photos: The Soft Moon x Dracula Lewis Live, Brudenell Social Club, 25th Nov 2012

by Trent Rampage on Nov 26, 2012 • 2 Comments

Went to catch The Soft Moon at Brudenell Social Club yesterday despite my bangin sore throat induced by wisdom tooth pain and the fact that the side of my face was swollen as heck. Waited in the rain for half an hour for the cab to arrive and when I finally got there, thinking I...

In Photos: The Voyeurist, O Children, LIVE, Leeds 24th Oct 2012

by Trent Rampage on Oct 26, 2012 • No Comments

O Children and The Voyeurist were playing at Oporto on Wednesday night and we thought we’d pay them a visit. Mid-week gigs is always a weird one, you just don’t know what the turn out is going to be like on a school night. And that night felt slightly “off” too – there was a...
