Those cheeky chaps MARSICANS have been off the radar of late, beavering away at new tunes for us, only surfacing for a packed-out Live At Leeds show and an ace gig at Carpe Diem last month. Tomorrow night, they’re taking to the stage at the Cockpit 2, helping to raise money for Martin House Children’s
As usual, I’m a bit behind the game. You may have already seen the news that NILE RODGERS - he of Daft Punk’s Get Lucky fame, but more importantly he of Chic’s Le Freak, Everybody Dance and Good Times fame – is bringing his classic disco band to Bingley Music Live this summer. Well, my finger’s on the
Have you got the moves that set the dance floor alight? Have you nailed running man? Or the Harlem Shake (whatever that is)? Then there’s a chance you could be heading to Leeds Festival this summer. Comedian Carl Donnelly is helping Reading & Leeds Festivals find the UK’s best Novelty Dancers in a competition to win guest tickets,
Never have I been more keen to head up the M6 to the beautiful surroundings of Lowther Deer Park in Cumbria. The line-up for KENDAL CALLING, held at the park from July 26-28 is looking awesome. Previous years have brought the likes of Mumford & Sons, Foals, Pendulum, The Cribs and House Of Pain, and
Rothwell five-piece THE PIGEON DETECTIVES need no introduction. They’ve just released their fourth album, the romantically-titled We Met At Sea and raised the roof off the O2 Academy Leeds the other weekend as part of Live At Leeds. I don’t half like this lot. Ever since I first saw them many years ago up in Middlesbrough, they’ve always
So, THE 1975. You might have heard of them. Certainly the thousand-or-so people desperate to get in the already-at-capacity Cockpit, at Live At Leeds have. Their insanely catchy tunes have been taking over our airwaves for the last few months, and they’re about to release their fourth EP – aptly-titled IV – on Monday, which features
I clean forgot to flag up the first lot of additions to the BINGLEY MUSIC LIVE line-up a couple of weeks ago, so I’m slightly more on the ball with this morning’s announcement of new acts heading to Myrtle Park over the weekend of August 30 to September 1. Joining The Cribs, the Wonder Stuff
Don’t know if you’ve noticed, but we fucking love THE 1975. Ever since we drunkenly stumbled upon The City on music telly one late Saturday night last September, we’ve been smitten with the Manchester art-rockers. Since then, the band have exploded. Two small UK tours were followed by a European jaunt with Two Door Cinema
This week has been great. I’ve watched more than 20 young bands do their thing at the Wardrobe in Leeds, hoping to make it through to the CENTRE STAGE 2013 finals this summer. The best thing about each night was looking through the names of the bands and looking forward to seeing what they’re all
This time next week, we’re going to be right in the thick of LIVE AT LEEDS, and quite frankly knackered from rushing around the city checking out as many bands as possible. In preparation for this, we’ve put together a Spotify playlist which highlights many of the bands set to grace the stages of nine
