Upstairs at the cardigan arms Kirkstall Lane Leeds, Northeast UK Cost:£4 Description:Vom - Awesome dark brooding post-goth from Glasgow. Debut album on At War With False Noise. Cissy - Jazzy metronomic Afro-Beat with an electro backbone. Lovely stuff. Blood Crips - Barnstorming garage rock with a post-punk aftertaste. Society - Lurching psychedelic drone punk.
Electropapknit are pleased to announce that we are back with a new club night featuring amazing bands from Wednesday 4 November 2009!!!
As a new night in the now long gig history of Electropapknit shows, we thought we had to come up with an apt name that put across what we are about: great bands, cheap prices and bloody good times.
Therefore the new clubnight will be called Panda Panda Panda!
Based at the Glasgow School of Art, door entry with be £3 with cheap drink deals on shots at £1, pints £1.50 and vodka mix £1.50.
We are very excited about the first night in November as it features three of our favourite most excellent bands from Glasgow:
Vom - mind bending apocalypse space rock, with a nod to the lounge effect that might just melt you! This aggression won't stand, man!
The Ballad of Mable Wong - jangled up bloody alt fun, with progressive and decadent melodies released by sharp guitar crunch, Sexy!
Mr Peppermint - former Hyena megasexuals, with swooning noise vox and tub thumping rhythms. Killer riffs on one side, masks in the other!
So as we wake up with delicate heads and headlines in the Sunday papers ('Vom storm She Said on Subcity Radio') you should rest easy in the knowledge you sound almost human on air, particularly as the rum and coke starts to kick in!
It was beautiful, it was special, the music was eclectic and the 'cock thoughts' memorable. Go find out for yourself..
CLECKHUDDERSFAX- Ridiculously catchy London outfit who conjure up influences from punk, prog, glam, disco and synth pop. Signed to the fantastic Chinchilla Tone records and featuring members of Please and Poltergroom, they are undoubtely one of the most fun live acts out there right now.

DIVORCE - One of the first signings to Optimo's own music label, Divorce are an angst driven 4 girl and 1 guy Glaswegian outfit. Big distorted bass, cyclical drums, wonky guitars and demented vocals lead their mosh-pit inducing no-wave attack. (http://www.myspace.com/puredivorced)
BEARDS - Leeds seems to produce some of the wildest cross-genre acts in Britain today, and Beards are no exception. If you combined Minutemen's scattered punk rhythms, Arab on the Radar's hellbent aggression, grrrl punk vocals, some keyboard pop sensibilities and had the band all dressed in tree outfits, you'd probably be close.

Please note: The first band will be onstage at 8.30PM SHARP!
As always, all the proceeds from the gig will be passed on to the bands, so please tell your pals and share the DIY love!
