About Gallo

Gallo's unique femme-chic funk-rock-jazz-pop style is the brainchild of Miss Natasha Koczy and Miss Bonnie Curtis who started playing together back in the Leeds College of Music days. They've been spreading the love ever since across the north, bringing joy to themselves and their audiences.

Their songwriting bucks the stereotype of angsty female singer-songwriters and the live Gallo experieince is a breath of fresh air amid the wealth of hair-cut sappy indie boy bands - they like having fun, writing great music and playing it live!

Some entirely genuine quotes:

"Gallo are like the The Chilis shagging Tom Jones on a bus driven by Germaine Greer's evil twin with a splash of 80's nu-wave/metal/age pyjamas jam spleen" The NME

"Despite their powerful performance Gallo offer a smooth, comfortable ride and are surprisingly economical to run" What Car magazine

"Gallo will send your mind into meltdown with their fantastic reviews" The Times

"I can't believe I work here, please kill me" The NME again

The Moor Music Festival	Jan 22 2008 6:51 AM It seems like years since the last Moorfest happened and to be honest I think the weather was very much a factor in whether people enjoyed themselves or not. Some thrived in the mud whilst others wept until their dads could pick them up. Moorfest is still carving an identity for itself and in the three years that it has been established I think I can say that the one thing that most people love about it is the friendly atmosphere, and this gig is a good opportunity to meet up with friends that perhaps you haven't seen since the festival, to make new friends, enjoy quality music, get a flavour of Moorfest if you haven't already been and also to talk to the organisers in order to give your opinions on how to improve the festival. We'll also be projecting your favourite photos that you've taken from previous Moorfests to create a live mashup that will adorn the walls of the Brudenell so please send them to bandsformoorfest@yahoo.co.uk and make sure that everyone in the picture is cool for you to use them like this. There'll be much more to boot like gorgeous organic food, t-shirt stall, films and raffles to win tickets to Moorfest 4 which we're working on right now and aim to make it the best yet. We really appreciate your continued support in making Moorfest what it is and hope to see you all there. Team Moorfest x
