Brudenell	Mar 22 2009 8:06 PM HELLO D'ASTRO.... http://www.brudenellsocialclub.co.uk
the truth about frank	Feb 15 2009 3:30 PM hello. THE TRUTH ABOUT FRANK.
Weirdo Guise	Feb 12 2009 3:51 PM WEIRDO GUISE PRESENT... Wavves Straight outta California on their first ever tour. You’ll feel like a frisky 19 year at some awesome beach party as their blown-out, catchy as hell pop washes into your ears. Touring as a duo, but really the brainchild of some 22 year old, you’ll find Wavves records out on De Stijl, Tic Tac Totally and Woodsist. There’s some Doo Wop, JAMC, No Age stuff going on here. Pens Three young girls outta London, who have a real knack for writing total tunes. On tour with Wavves, they also have an LP coming out the on De Stijl in the US following a sold out tape and 7″. Easily one of the best new UK bands. Mazes So the new crop of UK bands are here, fitting with all the killer stuff coming out of America right now and these kids have gone and written some of the best songs of the whole bunch. As well as all that stuff and some Pavement, they’ve also got an ear open to the likes of Swell Maps and Television Personalities. From Manchester, this will be their first show. Hipshakes Fastest, trashest band you’ll ever see. From their chaotic live show, you’ll just make out some real snappy pop gems under their tinnitus triggering wall of guitar noise. Just out of their teens and have already released an LP - with a 2nd on the way and 8 7″ singles, one on the Black Lips own label, another on an Oblivians Goner imprint - yeah they’re a Garage Punk band! SAT 28TH FEB. AT THE FENTON, LEEDS. DOORS 7.30PM. ENTRY IS FIVE POUNDS
Weirdo Guise	Sep 25 2008 4:02 PM 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 SATURDAY 4TH OCTOBER 2008 DOORS OPEN 8PM AND IT'S FIVE POUNDS ENTRY
