Restart Night - Leeds

Event information

Restart Night! May 29th The Faversham in Leeds - 8pm - 2AM (exams are over!)


Anyone lucky enough to live in Leeds is up for an audiolicious treat, Restart style
.

We have booked the excellent Faversham Venue and have some great bands lined up to rock socks! As ever, we are raising funds for the Stopped Clocks charity
to help restore stopped public clocks in Leeds.

Leeds has some amazing Stopped Clocks, The Dyson Clocks
at the Georgetown restaurant, the historic Griffin Hotel clock
above the Comfort Inn for example.

In a lot of cases those people responsible for keeping these clocks in working order simply don't care enough to get the work done, and raising awareness of this is part of what we do too.

However! I'm here to tell you about the awesome night we have planned at the Faversham.

Bands:


Dinosaur Pile Up:

Matt writes songs all day and records them on his 8-track recorder. He drinks coffee, loves Star Wars type stuff and is late for everything. Tommy DM helps Matt out by playing bass guitar live, he's a super nice guy, and he looks great in a head band. Ben 'Shakey' Waddleton is helping Matt out on the skins, kickin' beats like it's 1980.

Someone ring the bell, The Class of 2008 is in: Matt (the 'real' name of Mr Dinosaur Pile-Up) is a 'one-man-band'. This means he does everything on record, at least, and often all of the live show. In Matt's case, he has some helpers when he plays live: Tommy DM on bass and guitar, and Tommy Davidson on drums.

DROWNED IN SOUND:

"An ex-Mother Vulpine by the name of Matt teams up with two mates, forming Dinosaur Pile-Up, to play indie-pop that bridges the gulf between The Cribs’ chirpy-chappie sing-alongs and the skewed intellectualism of Let’s Wrestle"

CLASH MAGAZINE:

"Blaggers 'N' Liars" is a swaggering, bluesy beast.. Kav looks set to well and truly get the party started!"

THE GUARDIAN

".... On his forthcoming Blaggers & Liars EP..... Lizard King starts off slow and swaggering and features bluesy slide guitar before transforming into a Led Zep-ish riff monster, like The Stone Roses circa Second Coming. Easy is a blues-soaked missive about life's "chancers" And Satanic Circus Mask makes you think of The Stones' Sympathy For The Devil hauled into the digital age by Death In Vegas".

DJ:

Bad Sneakers' Joss Bibby
Slippy-sexy indie and electro

+ a special guest DJ to be announced.
