Atomic, Jaga Jazzist, Supersilent, Cinematic Orchestra, Massive Attack, Antony and the Johnsons, Radiohead, Air, Sigur Ros, friends and colleagues in LIMA, hazy moments at some pumping nightclub, sweaty mornings in the gym, deep, dark reflections after midnight, forbidden lust in the afternoon.
Punch Drunk Bitch is a seven piece band based in Leeds. The members have known and loved each other for some years, but decided to take the relationship a step further and formed the band in 2006. The unconventional line up fuses song-based compositions by Elisabeth Nygård, with dirty individual and collective improvising, filthy grooves, the occasional stab of drumn bass and sheer beauty.
All preconceptions of the fundamental roles of the different instruments are put aside. The band aspires to merge organically as an entity consisting of seven equally vital assets, to create a hard-hitting sound to penetrate your head and to endow you with a poignant slap in the face.

Hilarious two piece free-noise instigators from NYC. Kevin and Matt. Together they make Mavin or Kett. Relentless mezmorizing drums and synths that anticipate each other. A free roaming cacophony of dense aural matter from which a storm brews and rhythms pour down, but in the end the sun shines through. http://www. myspace. com/talibam
Very creative and smashing lads who make nice challenging music. View their myspace to see why they are 'smashing'. http://www. myspace. com/stignoise
BILBAO SYNDROME Jagged rocks and perverted Mr Wimpy's going for a burton with unwieldy claymores on bracken. Death Metal Funk. http://www. myspace. com/bilbaosyndrome
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.

Superior blockhead pop coated with ropes of electro jizz, a feast for all the senses.
