Suggest an ace band from your town

I seem to only be listening to Leeds bands these days & Nine Inch Nails.

How about people name an ace band from their town (with myspace/website link)so I can stop being a New-Yorkshire nobhead.

Mine is

Leeds - Humanfly - www.myspace.com/humanfly

aha

i saw them last night with thunderbirds are now! and lovvers and was totally blown away. i then bought their album with the octopus on the front and didn't like it so much on record, but hopefully i'll get into it. the production just seemed to suffocate the songs a little.

incidentally the gig was awesome, but by the time TAN! came on there was literally ten people there. a sad state of affairs.

myfirstmine | 23 Apr '07, 13:09 | Reply

Was that

at the Windmill? Had been meaning to see TAN! thought they'd be a slightly bigger draw than that.

busstopboxer | 23 Apr '07, 14:14 | Reply

nah

it was at Bristol.
I came from Cardiff so had to leave before thend because of lasttrainissues. it was almost embarassing, i think TAN! were really quite offended by the turn out. especially cos i think they were only playing two Uk shows or something.

myfirstmine | 23 Apr '07, 14:31 | Reply

Haha

I'm picturing them playing a very quick set up with exaggerated surly faces. Shame though.

We played with them in Brighton and they were very impressive for a young bunch!
Really interesting sound.

I think they're just going about as HPR now.

And PJ from the Mockingbird Nightmare has a new band called Broken Tapes, who are playing here (JAG): http://drownedinsound.com/event/view/23317

Geisha are awesome too

I got sent their ep ages ago to review for leeds music scene and i loved it. Their recent album is also stunning.

I've yet to see them. Hope someone in leeds puts them on.

Another ace Bristol band would be Big Joan.
