    Damo Suzuki is a legend! Best known for his stint as the legendary Krautrock pioneers Can as their singer in the 70s, Damo now tours the world to hook up with the best of local musicians to produce stunning sets of improvised music. We cannot stress how good this will be enough - you’ve never experienced anything like a Damo Suzuki show before, even if you’ve been to a Damo Suzuki show before! This extra special show will see Damo backed by the collective brilliance that is Quack Quack and Napoleon IIIrd.

    Quack Quack simply the best live band Forest of Sound have ever seen - so much energy, so much musical invention, so much skill... well, it's almost obscene.

    One man empassioned alt-pop legend with his reel-to-reel tape player, Napoleon IIIrd is a man of skewed melodies, bouncing beats and a big bucket of inventiveness... and is simply ace.

    Friday: 13/3/2009 @ The Brudenell, Leeds. Doors 7.30pm. A Forest of Sound presentation. £6 adv / £7 on the door. Tickets available at Jumbo Records, Crash Records, and We Got Tickets.

    Charlie Parr is from the same Duluth music scene that spawned the likes of Low and Haley Bonar, and his music delves deep into the back roads of American folk music, there’s hints of Robert Johnson, Nick Drake and Will Oldham in his playing, and a true from the heart power and clarity that is simply stunning. This guy is the real thing, and you can hear it in every note he plays, which would also explain why the people at the superb End of the Road festival ask him back every single year!

    Neil McSweeney plays beautifully considered and perfectly restrained music that will delight fans of Low, Adrian Crowley, Nina Nastasia, Mark Kozelek, and Jason Molina.

    Deftly fingerpicked folk loveliness from a local favourite - Michael Rossiter perfectly executes traditional folk as well as his own material, sings from his heart and gets the perfect sound from his guitar.

    Sunday: 1/3/2009 @ The Packhorse, Leeds. Doors 8pm. A Forest of Sound presentation in association. £5 adv / £6 on the door. Tickets available at Jumbo Records, Crash Records, and We Got Tickets.

    Hauschka
    Having studied classical piano for ten years, Dusseldorf-based pianist/composer Volker Bertelmann's work as Hauschka is based upon a playful exploration of the possibilities of the 'prepared' piano. His resulting tracks are vivid, unconventional pieces made in a spirit of playful research-enthusiasm, which he's taken around the world - in the USA with Múm, in Japan with Colleen, and a debut, sold-out London show with Max Richter. Hauschka's music is a thing of beauty - intertwined melodies and rythyms that flit between gorgeously lush and complex and stunning minimalism.

    Gareth S. Brown
    With influences as diverse as Eastern European folk music, funeral marches and jewellery boxes, Gareth creates gorgeous work of layered beauty with nods towards Philip Glass, Terry Riley and Michael Nyman as well as latter day travellers such as Max Richter, Yann Tiersen and Aphex Twin.

    Saturday: 8/11/2008 @ The Holy Trinity Church, Leeds. Doors 8.30pm.

    A Forest of Sound presentation. £5 adv / £7 on the door. Tickets available at Jumbo, Crash & We Got Tickets.

    The idea is simple: eight bands play across two stages in the same venue - four chosen by renowned local DIY promoters Forest of Sound, four chosen by fantastic local independent label Gizeh Records. All bands play consecutively so the audience gets to see everything.

    Rothko / The Boats / Glissando / Pan Am Scan / Sleepingdog / Winter North Atlantic / Spokes / Phantom Dog Beneath the Moon

    At The Packhorse, 208 Woodhouse Lane, Leeds, LS2 9DX.

    Tickets are £6 and are available from We Got Tickets. It’ll be £7 on the doors, and doors are at 6pm so get down early!

    For this Forest of Sound we’re getting together with our good friends at Misplaced Music to celebrate the release of Gareth S.
    Brown’s new album, The Gallows on Misplaced Music (order here).

    Bracken makes simply stunning music - walls of ambient sound, dark dub bass and atmospheres, destroyed and re-claimed found sound, beats that range from over-powering to perfectly understated.

    Gareth S. Brown creates gorgeous work of layered beauty with nods towards Philip Glass, Terry Riley and Michael Nyman as well as latter day travellers such as Max Richter, Yann Tiersen and Aphex Twin.

    Sketches for Albinos makes a sound that manages to be both truly heartfelt and organic, but also encompassing the majestic glacial soundscapes that would make the likes of Tim Hecker or Fennesz proud.

    The Declining Winter are a new musical project, led by Richard Adams, the co-founder of Domino Records group Hood, and is influenced by the music of Low, The Durutti Column, Songs of Green Pheasant and more. They have recently toured with ambient legends, Stars of the Lid. Live they’re a wonderful, beautiful, pastoral experience.

    Friday: 1/8/2008 @ The Packhorse, Leeds. Doors 7.30pm. £5 on the door.
