Carpe Diem Presents Bad Brains Warm-up to the Leeds Fringe

A great night of female artists held at the Carpe Diem Hosted by Bad Brains as a Taster to the Leeds Fringe.
  the audience was Treated to a feast of  Explosive musical talent from a varied array of female musicians.

Opening this evenings event in fine style, Miranda Vs the Crock Who soon had the crowd whooping and cheering their handling of rock rythms. The group consists of Miranda Arieh (singer Song writer, lead guitar), Thom Mcgowan (drummer) and her brother Joe Arieh (guitar). From their performance you would not suspect that this group has only been together for just one year. This is a very busy month for Miranda who will be playing at various venues during the Leeds Fringe then onto the Limetree festival to play at the Acoustic tent.

During band change over the audience were entertained by burlesque performers, Gem de la Creme.

Next to hit the stage were Jesus and his Judgemental Father, an exiting group, consisting of Danny (peter Bikini) singing lead vocals, Liz (soup) playing  drums, Sof  on bass and  Donger on guitar. which was greeted warmley by the entheusiastic crowd who were soon jumping and dancing along to this heavy pulsating rock beat.

Yet another display of burlesque risque entertainment led us nicely into our headline act,

Monica and the Explosion.

Swedish performer, Monica Welander brought her talents to Leeds for the first time, accompanied by Paul Slack (formally of U.K. Subs) This duo have also been together for the past year.They give an extended performance which had the assembled fans of music crying out for more, thus rounding off the evening with cheers and whistles in appreciation of their rousing and electrifying performance.
The evening was admirably compared by Mick Shakhlevich, who made Yorkshire Gig Guide very welcome.
