Bolide
Compared to The Art Ensemble, Le Forte Four, the Magic Band, Sun City Girls, or Smegma featuring Albert Ayler, in their own words Bolide are a chaotic Brighton-based EAI sextet that formed for a one-off performance at the Colour Out of Space Festival and have so far failed to disband.

Collider
Avulsive, weaponised improvisation; blunt force trauma, chemical burns, serated edges. This superhero team-up features Matthew Bourne, Dave Kane and Chrisses Bussey & Sharkey.

Temperatures
London duo consisting of rattling free percussion, kraut grooves, gurgling synth oscillations and spider-fingered murky bass fuzz. One of Thurston Moore’s favourites.

Takahashi’s Shellfish Concern
Operating somewhere between Sheffield and Manchester, Takahashi’s are a sonified paint & canvas trio consisting of Angela Guyton, Rodrigo Constanzo, and Anton Hunter

UltraHumanitarian
Heroic drum kit freakout and Moog Voyager spaceout from Andrew Forknell (Monster Killed By Laser, A Century of Trees) and Bang the Bore janitor Seth Cooke (Defibrillators, Hunting Lodge, Ganbatte).

£4 on the door

FRIDAY 8th JUNE 20.00 – 23.00 – POLARIS// PICORE// NO GUTS

Facebook event page

£5

A very rare chance to see Polaris. They’ve re-learnt their set for the gringo records 15th anniversary gig in Nottingham [see- Gringo Records] and have decided they may as well slot a Leeds gig in whilst they’re at it. Consistently excellent live and renowned for their musicianship Polaris were making post-rock long before the rest of the country caught on and long before post-rock was the most overused tag around. You might have seen members of them in recent times playing in Bilge Pump, Quack Quack or Executive Legs.

Plus a welcome return to leeds of Zaragoza, Spain’s, heavy, intense rockers, Picore.

Leeds’ sludge punks, No Guts, complete the bill.

 

 

 

TUESDAY 12th JUNE 5.30pm – 7.30pm – GUERILLA ORCHESTRA

Facebook

Guerilla Orchestra is the orchestra with no auditions and no conductor. Anyone is welcome to come along, although you will find it much easier to join in if you can read music.

Guerilla Orchestra isn’t the sort of orchestra where you get funny looks if you do mistakes while you are playing. It is more for fun. Also, there is a bar, so you can have a drink while you play if you like.

Nobody is ‘in charge’ as such. Decisions about what music to play and how to play it are made by whoever turns up on the day. We usually have a little selection of music from the library to choose from, and one of our members is working on transcribing some music for us to play specially.

Please bring a music stand if you have one.

This means that the business is owned and controlled by the people that you will meet when you visit- those working behind the bar, on the door, sound engineering, cleaning the toilets etc, as well as doing all the behind the scenes administrative work, accounting, maintenance etc. These are the people that make the decisions. As a co-operative we have equal control over our work; we all share responsibility for making decisions and we answer to ourselves- not to a manager and not to shareholders.

We decided to form a co-operative because we want a business model that isn’t driven solely by profit and where everyone gets a say.

We are guided by the seven co-operative principles, which are recognised internationally by the co-operative movement. These are:

1. Membership should be open and voluntary;

2. There should be equal control amongst members;

3. Investment should not carry control, and should only receive a limited return in interest or dividends;

4. Co-ops are autonomous, self-help organisations controlled by their members;

5. There should be educational and social objectives, not just commercial ones;

6. Co-ops should co-operate with each other;

7. Concern for the community.

The co-op has a carefully structured relationship with the club, as set out in the club’s rules. The co-op is responsible for the day-to-day running of the club, but is answerable to the club members.
