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.

Sic Alps - San Fransisco two piece setting the bar for bands doing the modern psych/folk/sloptastic JAMC sound. What sets Sic Alps apart from the rest is their unique ability to mash the rough edge of the folk strum, cutting songs with razor sharp candor, and artfully landing somewhere between flowery optimism and filthy regret. Stylistically, they're are all over the place too, incorporating jazzy freak outs, the sincere tinkering of piano keys, and muddy, down-trodden rhythms.Not easily pinned down into a specific sound or genre, Sic Alps reiterate their freedom of form with each successive release. With a musical pedigree second to none, with both members doing time in such outfits as Coachwhips, Hospitals and Total Shutdown. Already notorious for their exciting and energetic live performances, they've released music on Mt. St. Mtn, 777 was 666, Animal Disguise, Woodsist and Skulltones and their new LP has just been released by Tom Lax's legendary Siltbreeze label. So come on down and experience the madness of Sic Alps.
With supports from Leeds' deranged strum and bash trio THE UPRIGHTS and Sheffield's kings of manic retardo punk THE HIPSHAKES (Black Lips' Die Slaughterhaus label, Goner), this should be a night you won't forget!
AT THE ROYAL PARK CELLARS, Queens Road, Hyde Park, Leeds, LS6 1NY
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.
not long to go now 'til Manchester's new festival, A Day At The Races - less than a week in fact! a wristband will get you access to both venues, so you can hop between 'em and witness:
please note that Elf Power and Suburban Kids can no longer make it, but replacements will be made! we're excited. hope to see you on Saturday... xx

ABOVE THEM (ponte-carlo indie rock) THE AMISTAD (melodic punk rock from sheff) WOODERSON (s11 rock band with post punk tendencies) OX SCAPULA (jazzy noise from stoke)
Easily one of the most important bands of our times (and we don't say that lightly), Stars of the Lid are the highpoint of the ambient genre. Their influence on the music that really matters over the last decade has been huge, and we're incredibly honoured to be hosting them again in Leeds. This gig will be very very different, and very very special. Stars of the Lid have excelled at designing subtle, minimalist epics which sound like they're being played on a single multifaceted organic instrument. A wise man once described SOTL as "divine classical drones without the tedious intrusion of drums, or vocals. "
The Declining Winter is the musical project of Richard Vincent Adams of Leeds UK, the co-founder of the continuing group Hood and a full time stricken office worker. What does it sound like? Richard says "cassette tapes spilling out of the glovebox of a 1970's Datsun Sunny somewhere in the north of England, captured on Super 8 film". He's not far off. Live he is joined by a few more people to bring the beautiful pastoral feel to life. Wonderful stuff.
Golden Diskó Ship combines a mass of instruments and found objects (guitars, viola, glockenspiel, sticky tape, compact disc cases, toys…) together with perfectly crafted laptop electronica to form a world of beautiful, original and individual music - “…dreamy, experimental folk electronica that sounds like walking on the beach with the sun in your eyes."

Hands and Fingers makes minimally gorgeous cerebral music. He mixes samples, acoustic guitars, glockenspiel and ambient atmospheres with drum breaks that have been described as "Tortoise having a fight with Four Tet in the dark, with John Bonham trying to split them up". It's ace. Very ace.
A Forest of Sound presentation. It’s £4 on the door, doors are 8pm.
Alas, the first Forest of Sound of 2008 has been disrupted. Capulet have had to pull out as one of their number has been asked to support The Smashing Pumpkins in his other role in Oceansize… but fear not, the super talented James Yates has been added to the bill.
Dirge are a find that got the Forest of Sound camp very, very excited. Based around a minimalist core Dirge take the raw emotion and sweeping bleak sounds from the post-rock canon and fuse them with story telling and lyricism of lo-fi indie and folk and slowcore beauty.
Her Name Is Calla are astoundingly good. Watching these guys play is like watching a force of nature threatening to destroy everything around you - the power, beauty and effect of their music has to be seen live to be appreciated.
CHARLIESHERO are a band who read from the post rock canon and spit it back out with blistering energy and conviction. This kind of music lives and dies in the playing - the dynamics, the passion, the sheer force of it all... Luckily, they've got all that down just right.
James Yates’ solo show is something to behold - organic electronics, perfect drums, spot on percussion and mad-as-a-hatter inventiveness.
A Forest of Sound presentation. Tickets are £5 on the door, doors are 7.30pm.
