Would be interested to come but looks quite difficult.
How far the venue is from the city center ?
Do you know of any hotels ?

The Poly (or met uni) is a great venue - the very hall where I first saw that other drum-machine based Leeds beat combo. Coupla great boozers next door too, and the Subculture club is just down the road, so if the aftershow-party is a bit iffy at the Poly you can always head there for another slice of Leeds alt.culture

Unfortunately I'm not in a position to offer crash space out anymore. Soz folks.

Quite possibly, I couldn't see fck all through the fog

I assume this is the same room where the Who recorded Live at Leeds?

ans Screaming Banshee Aircrew and The Chris Reid project are also playing as well as James Rays supergroup

I 'think' that was the Uni, not the Poly, but I could be wrong.

I was wondering much the same, so I hopped on their MySpace for a quick listen.































































Reckon I'll be joining Quiffy in the bar.

so why dont you like them quiffy, is it musical differences or political?

I tried to punt my beat combo too but failed!

Someone else is playing too ...... if they get their act together in time.

its an old story, well past its sell by date, but to briefly recap: i saw them live a long time ago & thought they were utter arse. the problem began when i commented as such on a forum that contained a review of the gig, to which one of the band responded in a particularly ridiculous, sanctimonious and, frankly, childish manner...

however, that was a loooooong time ago, and i understand they've been through a pretty sweeping line up change since then, so my initial thoughts about them are probably irrelevant these days. i freely admit that i haven't seen or heard them in their current incarnation...

to further muddy the waters, a friend of mine has a brother who joined the band fairly recently (or at least he was involved last time i heard anything about it ). i've met previously and he's a thoroughly decent chap, so i'll cut them some slack for that

having said all that, i'll concede that in the yorkshire area they area a very safe punt in terms of crowd pulling power. they have a fanbase that is larger than you'd expect from a contemporary goff band, and i'm positive they will drag along quite a few of their travelling fans for this (and fair play to the band for pulling that one off). as such its a shrewd marketing move by the violets and in truth, they will probably bring more people than 25men










hmm, let's see how many more people i can alienate in one thread
