Friday 10th December - Brudenell Social Club - Leeds

This man needs no introduction, but i'll do it regardless. I am over the moon to announce this:

Damo Suzuki:

Damo Suzuki is a singer probably best known for his membership in German krautrock group Can.

Suzuki spent the late 1960s wandering around Europe, often busking, during which time he would only have been a teenager.

When Malcolm Mooney left Can after recording their first album Monster Movie, Holger Czukay and Jaki Liebezeit encountered Suzuki singing on a street in Munich, Germany whilst the two were sitting outside at a street café. They invited him to join the group, and he did, performing with them that evening.

Suzuki was with Can from 1970 to 1973, recording a number of well-regarded albums such as Tago Mago and Ege Bamyasi. His freeform, often improvised lyrics, sung in no one particular language gelled with Can’s rolling, psychedelic sound.

Suzuki converted to the Jehovah’s Witness faith when he married his German girlfriend, who was also a Jehovah’s Witness, after the release of the album Future Days, and retired from music in 1974.

He returned to music in 1983, and currently leads what is known as Damo Suzuki’s Network - as he tours, he performs live improvisational music with various local musicians (so-called “Sound Carriers”) from around the world, thus building up a ‘network’ of musicians that he has and can collaborate with.

Sound Carrier’s for this special gig is non other than........

That F*cking Tank:

That Fucking Tank is a band that operates on DIY principles; booking gigs, recording records and making music in a way that contributes towards the creation of alternative spaces to the boring mechanisms of 'industry', and challenging the assumption that 'good' music has to be made 'professionally' (i.e as a job).

That Fucking Tank was formed in 2004 for a one-off performance by friends-since-school Andy Abbott and James Islip who met over an owl. Andy plays a specially tuned baritone guitar through guitar and bass amplifiers, James plays a minimal drum kit. Their novel name, energetic performances and manish volume saw them play all over Europe and the UK with brain-mangling regularity, sharing stages and tours with bands including Hella, Q and not U, Lungfish, Oxes, Unsane, Kid Commando, GI Joe, Chevreuil, Grabba Grabba Tape, Poltergroom, US Maple, Neptune, Whitehouse, AIDS Wolf, Vialka, Nervous Kid, Don Caballero, The Fucking Champs, Hoover and the like.

Humanfly:

Musically, Humanfly is not constrained by genres of heavy music. Their ever expanding, Sabbath driven Floyd esq soundscapes builds their compositions from the ground up, making it as diverse and multi-layered as 3000 watts of orange amplification can create...and something that definitely needs to be experienced, or felt live.

FREE CONCERT THIS FRIDAY FOR WORTHY CAUSE!

Hello YGG

FREE CONCERT THIS FRIDAY FOR WORTHY CAUSE!
Shaun T Hunter aka Quiet Rebellion is staging a fundraising evening for Leukaemia and Lymphoma Research, (www.beatbloodcancers.org) but also for a very close friend of his Nigel Morris who has been a grass roots promoter for many years and only took a tiny commission from any band /act he booked. This being his only source of income, this felt like the least Shaun could do in putting together a night. Nigel is currently undergoing treatment for Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma.

Shauns father died of Leukaemia aged 29 when Shaun was only 1, Lymphoma has also affected his father in law for the past 8 years. Cancer as a whole has also taken another 4 members of his family between 2004 - 2009, so all in all it's a cause close to his heart. Like many who have suffered this disease in all its treacherous forms.

All acts are kindly giving their time for free on the night, QUIET REBELLION, CHRIS MARTIN, WILL RICHARDS BAND, THE TROUBADORS, JADE HELLIWELL...are all doing songs by dylan and springsteen.

As ever entry is FREE, the venue is FAMILY FRIENDLY and we hope to start around 7:30pm. Please tell your friends. It should be a very special evening. Reply if you want a poster emailing to you.

Regards

Raise Your Banners Events in November

Hi YGG

Raise Your Banners have a couple of events planned for November - details below - the fundraiser is for our 2011 festival - be grateful if you could promote these on your sites. I've provided all the info but please just use what fits best.

Cheers

Raise Your Banners Fundraising Concert

Friday 19 November

Manningham Mills Community Centre, Lilycroft Road, Bradford, BD9 5BD

Doors open 7pm, show starts 7.45pm

Tickets £8/£6 (unwaged) on the door or reserve at raiseyourbanners@gmail.com or phone 07779 147005

We have a great night in store and all profits will go to help make RYB 2011 the best yet! As well as the music there will be a bar and tasty food available from the Chaat Cafe, so why not come early and get something to eat first.

The Hall Brothers Big Band are a six piece band with a huge amount of energy who headlined the Sunday concert at the 2009 Festival to great acclaim. They are still in absolutely top form and are bound to send the audience home with a huge smile on its collective face!

Poyzer's Homeworld Darren Poyzer has a truly unique energy and gift for orchestrating live performance, armed as he is with a seemingly endless delivery of uplifting stories and images of passion, conflict, and the human condition. For this event he has assembled a musical collective of rare talent who cannot fail to enthral.

Gary Kaye has graced the stage a number of times at RYB events and has made new friends at every appearance. Gary is known for his dynamic performance style and his delivery of 'No Pasaran' is a wonder to behold.

If you don’t live near Bradford but this concert sounds unmissable (which it is!) email us for an accommodation list. And while you’re here, you could visit the Bradford Peace and Crafts Fair which takes place the next day at Victoria Hall in Saltaire.

A flyer for the fundraiser is attached.

Brainwash Festival- 22nd October- 24th- Oct

BRAINWASH FESTIVAL

Brainwash Festival will be celebrating its 5th birthday on 22nd-24th October 2010; it’ll be a weekend of the usual ace bands of all shapes, sizes and sounds across the Brudenell Social Club and Royal Park Cellars. Having previously hosted Oceansize, Efterklang, iLiKETRAiNS, Clark, Youthmovies, Handsome Furs, Adem and many more over the last couple of years the festival is an important part of the yorkshire gig calendar and an integral part of the Leeds music community.

A statement from the organizer’s:
This year we’re celebrating our 5th birthday, so thought this would be an appropriate time to figure out for ourselves, and explain to the uninitiated, just what this small music festival is all about.
Brainwash began life as a three-day event across the Brudenell Social Club and Royal Park Cellars in 2006; the idea being that the venues’ close proximity to one another would create a flow of eager music-lovers across a small patch of Leeds’s much beloved LS6 area. Key to the ethos of the festival was, and is still, diversity: a mish-mash of genres loosely based around rock/indie/metal music but stretching from its confines into anything from folk to jazz to electronica; people don’t like just one type of music and they certainly don’t want to see the same band 40 times over a weekend…
We’ve had the mathy patterns of Japanese instrumentalists Lite (not forgetting their snot wielding tour buddies 54-71); the soft tones and subtle ingenuity of Adem; the epic rock progressions of Oceansize; the brutal noise of US legends Unsane; the neo-classical motions of Olafur Arnalds; we’ve even managed to somehow take Norway’s Jaga Jazzist from the majesty of London’s Barbican Hall one night into the modesty of a backstreet social club in Leeds the next. And that’s before you even consider the wealth of local talent, indeed the bedrock of an event like this, provided by the likes of Humanfly, Fran Rodgers, Vessels, Forward Russia, Pulled Apart By Horses, Glissando, Paul “Lone Wolf” Marshall and many more.
We’ve also had a charity element to the festival each year, raising money for the likes of Oxfam and Sheffield Children’s Hospital in the past few years. This year we’re in the process of setting up a teaching program with local musicians, aiming to provide free music lessons to those young people who would normally struggle to get any.
For many people, however, the ‘serious’ stuff doesn’t matter too much, and that’s totally fine – Brainwash is hopefully just an excuse to see a load of ace bands, discover someone you’ve never heard of and drink the very reasonably priced Brudenell bar dry…

Wuthering Heights -Review. Hull Truck Theatre October 7th -23rd

Gaynor Faye & Rupert Hill  Karl Andre Photography

Glimpses into the past can be fascinating and Jane Thornton’s adaptation of Emily Bronte’s Wuthering Heights directed by John Godber at the Hull Truck Theatre, provides a faithful energetic view of this historic novel. This play is full of the drama and the despair of the lives and loves of Cathy and Heathcliff. The opening scene sets the tone and evokes the brutality of the times. The less than perfect lives are spewed out with a loathing which brings a chill to the audience. The scene is compelling and abrupt and does not put the audience at ease.
 Love stories have intimacy, tenderness and caring; Cathy and Heathcliffe lacked any of these. Perhaps this is because it is such a big story in the Novel where Heathcliffe and Cathy’s emotional humanness could be empathised with. This was lost perhaps in the narrative shortness of the play. Most of my feelings went towards the people who were used by them. Poor Edgar Linton used by Cathy to provide the lifestyle she sought and even worse their children forced into marriage to perpetuate Heathcliffe’s unrequited love
The story is hurtled along with powerful narrative delivered by each of the characters. This gives an interesting interplay to the roles of each character. From the outset Cathy hissed her life story then slipped into the present and each character followed a similar path. The constant setting of the timeline took a little getting used to; by halfway through the first half I let the chapters unfold.

Gaynor Faye & Rupert Hill  Karl Andre Photography

I am sure that Stuart Wade revelled in the darkness of the characters he played because he performed them so well. Stuart played a convincing Hindley turned by the tragic events in his life. Continuing this tragic theme is Heathcliffe, played by Rupert Hill- yes he did look and act broody and it must be every girls dream to be wanted by him -good casting.  Cathy what were you thinking letting him go? I really empathised with your torture. Gayner Faye took the part of Cathy voice, body and soul although she did lose the Yorkshire accent as the play progressed. Poor Edgar played by Frazer Hammill who gave a heart rending performance when he lost his love. The desperation in his voice and expression made him the character I felt compassion for most of all.  Fiona Wass moved through the different characters as Francis, Nelly and Isabella. These were cleverly done through body language and a headscarf. I particularly enjoyed her portrayal of an indulgent new wife. I applaud all the actors for their team work the play had a lot of dialogue and quick changes which they pulled off.
Seamlessly the plot developed; constraints of passing time were cleverly managed through dialogue under the direction of John Godber. Each actor moved effortlessly synchronised from moment to moment switching between each scene, which unfolded like the closing and opening of chapters in a book.
Graham Kirks clever use of lighting and scenery also allowed the play to continue without any halts for changing scenery. It was a pleasure to see the moorland backdrop so much that I didn’t want to go indoors. The lighting and set design by Pip Leckenby from the opening scene, which was chilling, and throughout the play enhanced and evoked moodiness. Appropriate music and sound also created changing moods and ambience throughout the performance. Each and every word was clear even the amusing creak of the door vocals provided by Stuart Wade.
Be prepared for narrative story telling with sudden dramatic bursts of action. Good play- go see it
