Gretanova; active petitioners for the reunification of North and South Yorkshire...
Gretanova are a rock band made out of five people, strings,
cymbals and gigs in Sheffield, Leeds and Wakefield. We are influenced
by all that has gone before, and all that will soon come to pass. We are
subtle melodies. We are a surging wave. We are a crashing tsunami. We are the
'New Sheffield Sound'.
Hello,
We are playing the lovely Cardigan Arms on the 21st of March, being foreigners from Sheffield it would be grand if you could pop in and see us and bring a few other Leedsies with you if you are free.
Here are a few nice things people have said about us have a listen on our page and see if you like what we are up to:
Reviews:
"AN AMAZING LIVE ACT, I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THEM AGAIN" (Sandman Magazine)
"AN IMPRESSIVE SET FROM A BAND WITH A KNACK FOR WRITING CATCHY SONGS AND DELIVERING THEM LIVE AS WELL AS IN THE STUDIO" (Sandman Magazine)
"PROMISING SONG WRITERS" (Tom Robinson, BBC Radio 6)
"THESE DAYS I FIND THRASH AND POWER POP A BIT REPETITIVE, BUT THIS WAS REMINISCENT OF MORRISSEY WHILE STILL BEING PERSONAL, I HEAR THE POSSIBILITY OF A GOOD FUTURE. IT SOUNDS TO ME LIKE YOU COULD SUPRISE US ALL ONE DAY".

Hello, We are playing the cardigan arms tomorrow night, it would be great if you could pop in and make some appreciative noises for us, as we may have to play to a room of silence and stares. We promise to be at least slightly above average, and who doesn't enjoy a slightly above average night out. Cheers Russ
Hello, we are foreigners from Sheffield that will be playing Leeds on the 12th of December at the Cardigan Arms. It would be grand if you could come and make noise for us, as Sheffield folk are far too frightend to come to a big city like leeds. Cheers The Unfortunate Incident

Hey guys great set last night...well impressed considering you said it was your first gig as a new band! Keep in touch as it'd be cool to sort out some sort of gig swap between Sheffield and York. Let us know if you'd be up for it.
