Shoegaze guitars and ethereal vocals are a well proven combination, and The ABC Club don't put a step wrong to disprove this. Having played at Leeds Festival in 2007 the band are racking up performances supporting bands such as iForwardRussia!, Grammatics, Glasvegas and Make Model in cities around their native Halifax. The youngsters are months away from being free of educational struggle and a time when The ABC Club will spread their music to the wider world.

Solo alias of Melbourne based multi-instrumentalist Sam Jones, previously found playing with Flying Saucer Attack, Minotaur Shock, Crescent and Third Eye Foundation. A brilliant mix of electronic and acoustic textures, plaintive vocals and eccentric British humour, The Balky Mule has garnered comparisons to people like Hood, Pram, Syd Barrett and FatCat labelmates Songs of Green Pheasant.
We've got a fantastic line up for April, with three great bands including Wintermute who are probably just about the hottest live act in Leeds at the moment and surely destined for very big things this year.
Wintermute:
New Big Scary Monsters signings Wintermute are making preparations for the release of their debut album 'Robot Works' (due out on 27th April, produced by James Kenosha). Having gone up and down the country four times playing their high-energy, intensely passionate, but strangely catchy take on math-pop and twice played at the legendary Leeds Festival, this Leeds-based four-piece are turning into a techy, but poppy, force to be reckoned with.
'A curious combo of At The Drive-In and Interpol, splashed with a bit of Foals-ian mathletics, tight and adventurous, Wintermute are cool. ' NME
The ABC Club:
Shoegaze guitars and ethereal vocals are a well proven combination, and The ABC Club don't put a step wrong to disprove this. Having played at Leeds Festival in 2007 the band are racking up performances supporting bands such as iForwardRussia!, Grammatics, Glasvegas and Make Model.
Minus Jack:
Fantastic melodic guitar pop from one of Bradford's most up and coming new bands.
Hope you can make this!

That Fucking Tank was formed in 2004 for a one-off performance by friends-since-school Andy Abbott and James Islip who met over an owl. Andy plays a specially tuned baritone guitar through guitar and bass amplifiers, James plays a minimal drum kit. Their novel name, energetic performances and manish volume has seen them play all over Europe and the UK with brain-mangling regularity.
Hey! Panda are a Halifax based noise punk act with influences ranging from The Fall to Sonic Youth and The Rapture. Their live shows are are often riotous occassions and they have recently played several high profile support slots with bands such as The Young Knives, No Age and Yeasayer.
Garfunkel & Simon is the antifolk influenced solo project from Patrick of Monty Casino. His songs take in a wide range of subject matter icluding Politics, Television, Peter Crouch, Cycling, Greek Doctors, Bradford, Bradford City and Books. Over the course of the last year he has played with Johnny Foreigner, The Wind Whistles, Pulled Apart By Horses, and Sons and Daughters.
