the citadelles are the Worlds biggest new band that no one has heard of! Forming some time last year from the ashes of a former Leeds band, they hope to take the world by storm with their unique home brewed rock 'n' roll! On display are some songs recorded a short while ago by the band in their humble search for the new sound. We feel the songs show a range of what we're capable of but it is 'Porcelain People' which gave us the musical direction for the citadelles! Keep checking this page for new songs in the same vain, which will be added shortly! the citadelles are hoping to get gigging early 2008 and are willing to accept gig offers for all venues, from front rooms to arenas and everything in between!

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.
How is life? Who is coming to Glastonbudget? I know Graeme might be coming now.. Baz, Jamo? You guys coming? Of course you are. You wouldn't miss it for the world
