Next gig: 16th May

Howdy!

Well now that Triangle gig has passed, we're onto the next one. It'll be supporting Pye Corner Audio at the Kirkgate Community Centre on May 16th. Tickets are here! 

If you'd like some info on what to expect, let's dig into it and get you clued in.

 

OK so first off, if you've never heard any of Pye Corner Audio's music before, head over to his Bandcamp here. I'd recommend the albums Entangled Routes, Sleep Games and The Black Mill Tapes boxset as great places to start with his brand of super hypnotic electronica.

As for my old pal Dean McPhee, I'd recommend his latest, Astral Gold, and the one before it, Witch's Ladder as cracking places to start with his super hypnotic solo guitar.

Moving onto the venue then...

 

The Kirkgate Community Centre is in the middle of Shipley, basically. Right next door to the main market square. It's here on maps. It's recently been refurbished and has an absolutely killer sound system in there now, and all fully soundproofed too. Which, if you've been to anything there previously, you'll know was sorely needed as those windows loved to rattle haha!

Anyway, there'll be a bar on the night, provided by the Triangle, and if you'd like to stay somewhere close, there's a hotel called the Abbey Lodge literally just opposite, or failing that, a Travelodge just down the road (about a 10 minute walk away). If you're popping over by train, Shipley train station is, again, about a 10 minute walk away - you can pretty much see it from the venue! 

Speaking of, we're about 15 minutes away from Leeds on the train, about 10 away from Bradford, and the gig will be done in time for last trains (the 23:17 being the last one out of Shipley towards Leeds) and buses. There's also a taxi rank outside the venue if you're cabbing it, and there's a car park round the back and onstreet if you're driving yourself.

If you're getting in early, head to Saltaire and walk around the mill, and if you're in the mood for a drink before or after, this being Yorkshire, we've well and truly got you covered. I'd recommend the aforementioned Triangle in Shipley, Fanny's in Saltaire, Reconnection down the road, and the Ring O' Bells just up the road. Food wise, you're properly spoiled for choice. There's the Greek Cafe opposite, the Cedar Tree takeaway just down the hill (they do a fucking lovely kebab in fairness), the Tapas Tree restaurant about 10 minutes walk away, and if you're in the mood for a curry, my recommendations are the Aagrah (it's next door to the Cedar Tree) and Shimla Spice (a little further up into town, but it's my personal favourite). If you're late or just cba with a sit down sort of deal, then there's an Asda close by and a Gregg's round the corner too - what more could you want?

Gig wise, we're doing doors at 7, Dean on at 7.30, us on at 8.15 and PCA on at 9pm.

If you've any questions about it in any capacity whatsoever, just send me a message.
