James Blake at Vega, Copenhagen.

"Understated, humble, intimate and just plain beautiful. Goosebumps never felt so good."

Sleigh Bells Rock

Sleigh Bells dance-pop-punk-noise thingy has certainly won many fans, after Mine
was bursting with people despite Broken Social Scene playing just a few doors
down. Lights and sound found their way into literally every crevice of the room as the
brash electronics were complimented by both Derek Miller’s simple guitar strokes
and Alexis Krauss’ voice.

Krauss began with the usual chit-chat to the crowd, who were appropriately fit
to burst in excitement before being relieved and given permission to move to
the hard hitting sounds of ‘Tell Em’. Other hits from their album ‘Treats’, such
as ‘Kids’ and ‘Infinity Guitars’ caused equal mayhem. Krauss, who strongly stirred
comparisons with Crystal Castles’ loony front woman Alice Glass, displayed
tremendous on stage presence and with controlled screams throughout she had the
crowd’s frontline frantically roaring and stretching to grab at her.

It really was a dynamite live show that closed the Constellations Festival with a bang.

Words from Josh.

Rock and Roll Circus

After an evening with Fakeblood, and some dubious mixing by Bowski today was purely set for R&R. Things were looking up after Englands victory, and the hair of the dog took effect. The best was yet to come, popping into the Brudenell Social Club for a game of pool I found this little gem.

A presentation of local bands, it makes you proud to be living in Leeds! We've got a Beep-off from Tim Hardy and he's chosen a track from the CD so tune in tomorrow at 11am on LSRfm.com to listen.

Unlikely End

Wednesday night Fav is a standard. Ending with these two songs made the night, the definition of a mix bag, especially when it was followed by The Drums, a little bizarre, but never mind!

Pharoahe Monch - Simon Says

and then, I swear this track had been selected just for me, the only thing that there was left to do was to thank the DJ, grab my coat and face the cold.
