Forest of Sound	Jun 30 2008 5:41 AM Efterklang are astounding on record - a fusion of electronics, sea song, rock and ambience that envelops you slowly and beautifully. Live, they take this core of beauty and project it with such force in to the audience that it takes on a whole new life - every emotion amplified, every note laden with passion. If you caught them last time, you know you can't miss it again. If you didn't... well, you know what you have to do... Bracken , led by Chris Adams (co-founder of Hood), make simply stunning music - walls of ambient sound, dark dub bass and atmospheres, destroyed and re-claimed found sound, all topped with vocals & lyrics from a man who knows his own heart. James Yates’s solo show is something to behold - organic electronics, perfect drums, spot on percussion and mad-as-a-hatter inventiveness. Thursday: 10/07/2008 @ The Brudenell Social Club, Leeds. Doors 7.30pm. A Forest of Sound presentation in association with The Brudenell Social Club. £7 adv / £9 on the door. Tickets available at Jumbo Records, Crash Records, and Seetickets.

the NCM room	May 16 2008 6:49 AM Tickets available from: Jumbo, Crash and The Brudenell now as well as See Tickets: http://www. seetickets. com/s. asp?a=those+dancing+days+%2B+support&p=6312 http://www. myspace. com/thosedancingdays Currently Sweden's hottest export, THOSE DANCING DAYS combine "Sweet as apple-pie pop" with a devilishly sassy Northern Soul and it's this unique combination that has the got the whole of the UK falling over itself and for good reason too! Wakefield's THE RESEARCH are makers of fun, but also write songs that are like punches in the stomach that knock the wind out of you but afterwards you agree that you feel much better for it.

the NCM room	Jan 1 2008 7:52 PM the NCM room... THURSDAY - FEBRUARY 7th - 2008 @ The BRUDENELL SOCIAL CLUB - LS6 1NY Doors 8pm - £4 Kling Klang I totally buzz off Kling Klang. Fat electro krautrock riffs and landscapes get channeled through amiable scousers. http://www.myspace.com/klingklang listen to Heavydale Quack Quack Yorskhire's top semi-pro rock band create pulsing rhythmic grooves lovingly fermented from the finest drums, synths and bass they could get their hands on. A very special vintage. http://www.myspace.com/thisisquackquack listen to Conversations Minghe Morte Musicianship of the highest calibre which will blow your head clean off. With drums, fucked up sax and bass coming together for infectiously violating rock grooves, tender atmospheres and aggresive spasmodic climaxing. http://www.myspace.com/minghemorte listen to i Punch U Coz i Like U Curious Voice Duo Two lovely girls from LIMA* who know their voices. Performing within semi-structures with an innocent improvisational flair, entwining their heavenly voices in gorgeously melodic dialogue. With no added vocal effects. http://www.myspace.com/elisabethnygaard http://www.myspace.com/mariajardardottir listen to Elisabeth's 'Clinical Waste' here : http://www.myspace.com/underthestairsstudio listen to Maria's Part 5 Joy of Liberation on her site * LIMA = Leeds Improvised Music Association http://www.myspace.com/leedsimprovisedmusicassociation
