I decided to see The Kills on a whim in July after finding an old song of their’s on Spotify. I had heard some of their new songs on the radio, but knew little of a band who’s two members had been performing […]
Bishop Nehru @ Headrow House, 05/10/16
Bishop Nehru’s set was preceded by a grime duo trying far too hard to sound like Dizzee Rascal, and unfortunately, they failed to get the crowd of about 25 people sufficiently hyped for Nehru’s entrance. […]
Stephen Steinbrink @ Headrow House, 03/10/16
On first arrival at Headrow House, I began to wonder whether I had gotten the venue wrong as only about ten other people were present in the ‘events room’ where Stephen Steinbrink was set to […]
White Denim @ Leeds Stylus, 06/10/16
White Denim produce irresistibly catchy tracks and a wholesome sound, despite consisting of just four, rather unassuming, nerdy-looking lads channelling an integral 70s vibe. Having kicked off their UK tour in the wake of their […]
Kaiser Chiefs @ hmv, 07/10/16
There was a clear feeling of a homecoming as excited fans crammed into the HMV store, spilling in between rows of vinyls to get closer to the small stage the Leeds-born Kaiser Chiefs were performing […]
NGOD @ The Wardrobe, 08/10/16
NGOD are an up and coming indie band from Bradford, who blend conventional indie with some heavier sounds, creating an alien mix. But it’s a good mix. The support band were decent, but they were […]
Holy Holy @ Oporto, 28/09/16
Going to see a band you’re unfamiliar with is a risky affair, and after briefly listening to Holy Holy’s latest album I was not exactly hyped to spend an hour or so with them. I […]
Jodie Abacus @ Belgrave Music Hall, 28/09/16
Providing a little bit of the summer on a cold September night, Jodie Abacus gave a stunning set at Belgrave Music Hall on the third date of four in his first headline tour. Jodie Abacus […]
Sundara Karma @ Brudenell Social Club, 26/09/16
have been gradually garnering themselves a considerable fan-base over the past couple of years whilst still remaining fairly inconspicuous compared to other current indie bands on their level. Yet at Brudenell Social Club here in […]
Brodka @ Leeds Beckett, 03/10/16
Floating onto stage with glittery cheeks and a Princess-Leia-esque jumpsuit, Polish singer Brodka managed to make Leeds Beckett Union shimmer with her stratospheric vocals and celestial aura. The crowd were lulled by the band’s starry synths, […]
Dead Meadow @ Belgrave Music Hall, 27/09/16
The American fuzzed-out, psychedelic stoner rock outfit played the Belgrave Hall last Tuesday to an audience of grooving bodies and dropped jaws. Despite relying on a fill-in drummer in place of Juan Londono, who unfortunately […]
Lowkey @ The Wardrobe, 23/9/16
Approaching the Wardrobe to see Lowkey, I was nervous. Not only because I’d decided to jump in an Uber on a 2.7 surge, but because often, intricate, intelligent songwriting doesn’t translate to a fantastic live […]
