+1/2 tbc
So Cow on record is Brian Kelly, a podgy young man from Tuam Ireland. Live, SC and his band in full swing are by all accounts serious next level shit - with more sweat, potency and talent than 99% of any of the other rock bands you think are worth paying money to see. And now, finally, they are visting Leeds - we had them due to play here in April, but that volcano messed things up.
In the last 4 years, SC has released a handful of killer singles, 3 albums, a sort of best of, completed 4 huge US tours (most recent with v. decent Tyvek) but not once toured the UK. Musically, you'll hear hints of Orange Juice and The Nerves - and i'd say on hearing SC for the 1st time I was struck with the same 'hell yeah' feeling as when i first heard Television Personalities. - basically, you're going to have a total revelation and a new favourite band by the end of the night. Get excited, this is unmissable. One of only 4 UK dates.
Ian Cockburn has been writing great songs for sometime now and he really has quite an impressive collection of brilliant little tunes. His anomalous way of seeing the world coupled with an extreme creativeness, makes for a far more interesting character than just about anyone else you or I will ever know and this is the vital ingredient that makes a song and performance by Ian so enjoyable and captivating . A fanatical Jonathan Richman fan, Ian will certainly enthrall those who share his love.
+1/2 TBC. Doors 8PM, £cheap as possible, depends on who else plays…
New Update 20 / 07 / 10:
First Soft Skeleton club night on Saturday night was a rager. Definitely want to do some more of those, but where's the best venue for it if The Common Place closes? Basement in LS4 maybe...?
Very chuffed to have So Cow booked for August, the show should really be quite something, get excited.
September will hopefully be a busy month for Weirdo Guise, will blab the minute things get confirmed. We'd like to have at least one event a month until Christmas - fingers crossed it happens - if So Cow's a busy one enthusiasm will be at an all time high making more events more likely.
Oh, and finally, the zine shop has re-opened!
