Divorce + Queer’d Science
Went to see Divorce at a gig about a week or so ago. Sham 69 was playing another gig in the same city elsewhere but I knew where my loyalties lie LOL. Anyway, I arrived so late I missed a good portion of the show but came just in time to see Manchester based trio...
Super Luxury Tape Release + Party
Leeds’ noize boiz, Super Luxury have a debut tape release coming out on the 29th of September, thanks to Chris from the band for reminding me about this one. I didn’t get much info from him about the actual tape, but my guess is that it is looking like a 3 track self-release (please correct...
Etai Keshiki

Galaxians / Clara Clara / House of John Player / Hagman – Leeds, Wharf Chambers 17th April 2012
I don’t usually go out to gigs on Tuesday nights. This one was kinda a random, impulsive decision to get out of the same boring weekday routine of work, home, sleep, dinner, repeat. It’s a chance to break the cycle, enjoy some new bands, make some new friends. And of course, I was primarily there...
Diet Pills
This is a somewhat delayed post, and, I hope this is not going to ruin you quiet Monday bank holiday. :) So what’s the story with Diet Pills, then? Well, it went like this: I was at the Kylesa + Circle Takes The Square show at Josephs Well a coupla weeks back. And I saw...
Fear & Loathing at British Wildlife March 2012
Another amazing gig at British Wildlife on Saturday night. This is one of their house-party vibes kinda gig at RnR. Never a bad night. In fact, I got educated on Galaxians. How could I have missed out on this band for this long, I have no idea. Galaxians is Jed and Matt (of Azores, ex...

Tattooing a band called Divorce after British Wildlife Fest 2012
What a heavy fucking week of working, dancing, breaking my camera, getting absolutely shitfaced, making new friends, enjoying my favorite bands. Leeds DIY music fest, British Wildlife Festival started on Friday at the Brudenell Social and I heard from someone that it was to be the last BW (although this probably needs clarification. Anyone??) They’ve...
Teeth – Flowers (Gross Magic Remix)
The zany London 3some that is TEETH (or T3ETH) is playing Nation of Shopkeepers in Leeds again on the 5th of October. The last time they were there was for the VICE launch, so, for those who missed that, here’s your chance to catch these guys live. The album, Whatever was released just last week...
Rattail
WATCH THE VIDEO in this post before you do anything else becuase 1) the track SICKO is awesome and 2) its quite an awesome footage. Rattail hail from Canada and can I just say that it’s so refreshing to see a female lead singer on guitars. I like the DIY, shambolicness of it all. Jasmyn’s...
