Back for its ninth annual outing, Live at Leeds assumes its customary position over the early May bank holiday weekend. Buoyed by the success of having bagged last year’s coveted ‘Best Metropolitan Festival’ award, this time around it promises two hundred bands, twenty venues and one wristband – all for the unbeatable value of £27.

Live at Leeds has built a strong reputation upon an ethos of promoting local talent alongside more established national and international artists, whilst also being one of the very best places at which to catch the year’s breakthrough acts.

The festival has today revealed its venues and scheduling for the event that this year falls on May 1st. .

Eagulls, Hookworms, Carl Barat, Tobias Jesso Jr, Telegram and Meance Beach to name a handful will be in attendance. Add to that the plethora of bands who will be adorning your favourite magazines and site (ahem!) next year and the heart skips a beat.

Take a look at the newly added to the line-up below and in the midst of daydreams about destroying a beloved and old city full of blackened churches and deep dark basements of debauchery (Hyde Park, you know who you are!), try not to click this link for tickets.

WILDERNESS FESTIVAL – Oxford 6th-9th August 2015

Born in 2011 out of an unlikely pairing of teams behind Secret Garden Party and Lovebox, Wilderness is a refined concept event that feels like a cross between Glastonbury and Glyndebourne.  The extensive programme of talks, debates, workshops and luxury communal dining is arguably a greater part of Wilderness than its music and arts adventures.  From wild swimming to perfume making, Sunday services at an atheist church to holistic therapies and spa treatments, Michelin-star gastronomy to opera production—everything about Wilderness radiates sophistication, adventurous spirit and unashamed intellectualism. An elegant and smart musical line-up is guaranteed and so is significant damage to your bank balance.

Music highlights: Bjork, Ben Howard, Caravan Place, George Clinton, Ibibio Sound Machine, Hercules & Love Affair, Nick Mulvey, Nils Frahm, Parliament & Funkadelic,Roisin Murphy

GOLD SOUNDS – Festival Leeds University 25th May 2015

New venue but with the same amount of talent, the third Gold Sounds Festival prepares to take over Leeds University Union this May.

There’s a lot to be said for Leeds’ music festivals – they’re some of the best around, whether you’re camping in a muddy field in the middle of nowhere or traipsing around the city with a beer in hand. The latest name to add to that list is Gold Sounds Festival on the second May bank holiday weekend in 2015.
Having brought us two fine days of fuzzed up rock’n’roll music at Brudenell Social Club in 2014, featuring the likes of Cloud Nothings, Merchandise, Cheatahs and Sky Larkin, they’re at it again for 2015.
This time, however, they’ve taken their all-dayer to Leeds University Union on Monday 25th May 2015 to make the most of their abundance of venues in what’s sure to carry on the fledgling brilliance of the previous events.
Headline duty is taken by The Fat White Family who have been in our venues and at our festivals incessantly over the past two years – and that’s no complaint. After sets bordering on carnage at Leeds Festival, Live at Leeds and Beacons last year, they’ll have no problem tearing the roof off Gold Sounds Festival this year.
They’ll be joined by The Wytches who continue to obliterate live music fans with the filthy grunge that’s won them a slew of fans on debut record ‘Annabel Dream Reader’ – it’s when you see them live that they really come into their own though.
Canadian punks Fucked Up are also on the Gold Sounds Festival bill for 2015, and return to Leeds after christening Belgrave Music Hall last summer with their relentless fourth LP ‘Glass Boys’.
They’ll be joined by the returning Hinds, formerly known as Deers, who played the last all-dayer back in November. It’s also just their second Leeds show, and with the hype machine gathering pace around them, will be worth checking out.
Glasgow duo Honeyblood will also be at Leeds University Union in May. Their rough and ready self-titled album was released last year and was undoubtedly one of the most exciting debut releases of 2014.
Sitting alongside them on the Gold Sounds Festival line up are Big Deal, in preparation for the release of their just finished third album. 2011’s ‘Lights Out’ was a welcome introduction, before the brilliant ‘June Gloom’ was released in 2013.
Our favourite Mancunian post-punk quartet Pins will be also be making an appearance. They’ve finished their second LP ‘Wild Nights’ and will be showing it off just before its release on Monday 8th June 2015.
To open up proceedings, there are four hot new artists that are well worth getting down early for. Happyness, Pity Sex, Colleen Green and the returning Theo Verney will all be gracing Gold Sounds Festival with their presence. That’s eleven bands for just twenty quid – Gold Sounds is incredible value and an incredible festival, but don’t just take our word for it, find out for yourself.

FORT ROMEAU – ” Not A Word “

Fort Romeau is Mike Greene, a London producer whose bright, glimmering form of house music is both forward-thinking and physical in that old-school Chicago way. Greene released his debut album Kingdoms in 2012, and it’s been a steady stream of one-offs and remixes ever since. Soon, he’ll be back with a sophomore album called Insides. Its title track is also its first single, and it’s a glassy, composed six-minute instrumental.

Alt-J, Noel Gallagher‘s High Flying Birds, Portishead, Caribou, James Blake, Laura Marling, Manic Street Preachers, Jon Hopkins, Seasick Steve, Jason Manford, Alan Davies and many more announced for Latitude this summer. Book now!

The Lake Stage has always been the place to be to catch the most hotly-anticipated acts. Over the years, The XX, Metronomy, Everything Everything and 2015 headliners alt-J have all graced the stage early on in their careers. Handpicked by DJ and broadcaster Huw Stephens, expect just as big things from this year’s line-up in the years to come.

Headlining the stage will be the phenomenal To Kill A King, alongside synthpop maestros Prides. Others acts joining them are Formation, Sundara Karma, Aquilo, and Liverpudlian bands Outfit and Gulf.

Welsh rock group Pretty Vicious have seen huge acclaim since releasing their debut track ‘Cave Song’ online. Despite only having begun playing live in late 2014, their shows are already full of a raucous energy that will suck you in. We cannot wait for them to make their Latitude debut.

On the more relaxed side, Charlie Cunningham will be bringing his percussive guitar sound to Henham Park, while HONNE will exhibit their neo-soul stylings. Tipped by NME as an artist to watch in 2015, Neon Waltz’s sublime indie sounds will surely delight a whole new legion of fans.

Completing today’s announcement are Petite Meller, Eaves, Boxed In, Man Made, Clarence Clarity, and Clare Maguire. Between them we have every taste covered, whether you’re in the mood for heartfelt soul from singer-songwriters, or electronic beats that will have you dancing for hours.

FANTASTIC NEGRITO – ” A Honest Man “

Posted: March 3, 2015 in FESTIVALS, MUSIC
Tags: ,
0

Fantastic Negrito is a man’s truth told in the form of black roots music. Each song is a true story about a musician from Oakland who experienced the highs of a million dollar record deal, the lows of a near fatal car accident that put him in a coma, and is now in the phase of rebirth despite his playing hand being mangled. Negrito’s music emphasizes rawness and space. Slide guitar, drums, piano. Rather than update the Delta Blues, Fantastic Negrito leaves the original sounds of Lead Belly and Skip James intact, building bridges to a modern sound with loops and samples of his own live instruments. But the primary element that drives Fantastic Negrito’s music is uncut realness and zero concern for “pop” anything.

Fantastic Negrito calls himself a musician reborn. As a young man, the Oakland singer taught himself to play just about every instrument he could get his hands on. But after making a record that failed to take off, he felt his confidence and artistry suffer; disenchanted with music, he simply quit. The years that followed brought major life changes: a near-deadly car accident and the resulting coma, intense rehabilitation, marriage and the birth of his son. Now, renewed creative energy has spawned the musical project that is Fantastic Negrito. He chose the name, he says, as “a celebration of blackness. The ‘Fantastic’ is self-explanatory; the ‘Negrito’ is a way to open blackness up to everyone, making it playful and international.” Judges Bob Boilen, Robin Hilton, John Congleton, Valerie June, Reggie Watts and Thao Nguyen agreed that this soulful, unbridled performance, captured at a makeshift desk in an Oakland freight elevator, stood out from the crowd.
