The Engine Room is an independant record label and promotions company based in Leeds, UK......... Conceived in April 2003 as a way to put on bands we like in a venue we like, The Engine Room has quickly grown into one of the best, independant monthly gig nights in the city.......... The majority of Engine Room events take place at our spiritual home, The Brudenell Social Club, officially best live venue in Leeds 2005/06......... The label spluttered to life in 2004 with our first compilation cd of bands that have played for us. Done in true DIY style, cutting and folding all the sleeves ourselves, and commandeering mates computers to burn all the CDRs. It was only available at our gigs and in Jumbo (Leeds' best indie record shop), but we sold all of them (which ain't bad considering we didn't really know what we were doing!).......... A year later we made another one, this time doing it properly. We had 500 pressed and got them in indie shops nationwide, again, this sold like hot cakes. We have since released two singles, the first a solit 7" for Vatican Jet and The Smokestacks, and the second for The Somatics on CD and 7".......... More soon ...................................

Some of the bands we have had on at The Engine Room..............
The Sunshine Underground, The Smokestacks, Vatican Jet, The Somatics, This Et Al, O Fracas, iLiKETRAiNS, Tramp Attack, The Research, Robochrist, The Acutes, iForward Russia!, The Butterfly, That Fucking Tank, Itch, The Lodger, Dive Dive, Buen Chico, The Playmates, 10,000 Things, David Thomas Broughton, Keith, Champion Kickboxer, Samsa, YSN, The Twang, downdime, Parisman, Napoleon IIIrd, The Pigeon Detectives, Post War Years, Shut Your Eyes and You'll Burst Into Flames, These Monsters, Quack Quack, Voltage Union, Wintermute, Vessels, Micky P Kerr, Captain Hotknives..............

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.

Koen Holtkamp is no stranger to producing beautiful music. Expect layers of warm organic noise and found sound combine to make pieces that are both gorgeously minimalistic and endlessly deep. He's making the trip over from New York to celebrate the launch of his new album on Type records, and you'd be a fool to miss him!

Gorgeously organic music that washes over you and through you - the best of all ambient music understands the importance of holding back, of understatement, of beauty - Pausal achieve this, and more. Stunning stuff for a night of pure sonic bliss.

Forest of Sound's favourite one man laptop genius, randomNumber, comes back to regale us with his excellent and deeply inventive brand of electronica. There's a reason that he's so energetic in his performance - his music is brilliant. Simple. As.

A Forest of Sound presentation. It’ll be £5 on the door, and doors are at 8pm.

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.

A Forest of Sound presentation.
Tickets are £10 and are available from We Got Tickets and Jumbo Records.
It’ll be £12 on the doors, and doors are at 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.

Peace and love and hope to see some of you tommorrow.

Camped out somewhere in deepest, iciest Iceland, Sketches for Albinos (a.k.a. Matthew Collings) makes music from the ends of the earth. Utterly unique, SfA has all the musical adventure of John Mcentire, Tortoise or Kevin Shields without sounding a bit like any of them. Mr. Collings makes a sound that manages to be both truly heartfelt and organic, but also encompassing the majestic glacial soundscapes that would make the likes of Tim Hecker or Christian Fennesz proud.

Escalade (aka Greg Sullivan) is a project based in Tokyo, Japan. Originally from New York, USA, Sullivan embarked on a self-imposed exile to New Zealand. Greg makes skewed alt. rock/pop in the vein of Thurston Moore/Hood/Television... and stands way way way apart from his peers. Why? This is music with room-to-breath, with an natural understanding of the perfect lazy melody, calm insistence, and plenty of space to think. Lovely.

worriedaboutsatan are firm Forest of Sound favourites. Why? Guitars that clear out your brain with a true understanding of how 6 strings can make the hair on the back of your neck stand up... all underpinned with the kind of minimal techno Richie Hawtin would sell his new haircut for. Computer music is boring live? No f**king way!

A Forest of Sound presentation. Tickets are £5 on the door, doors are 7.30pm.
