Monday 3rd October - Brudenell Social Club - Leeds
RUINS ALONE
Ruins were a Japanese experimental rock duo of drum set and electric bass guitar. The group, formed in 1985, was supposedly intended to be a power trio; the guitarist, however, never showed up to the band's first rehearsal, so the group remained a duo. The drummer is Tatsuya Yoshida and the group has featured four different bass players over its history.
He was chosen by Matt Groening to perform at the All Tomorrow's Parties festival Groening curated in May 2010 in Minehead, England.

NOPE
Nope are inspired by psychedelic repetitive and primitive sludge the like of which will be dredged from the River Air following the collapse of the industrial world in 2068. Their music attempts to convey the rhythms and pace of life experienced on the cusp of the birth of the machine age. They are equal parts Spinning Jenny, nano technology and undiscovered bio-fuel. Featuring members of That Fucking Tank and Mucky Sailor.

TRUMPETS OF DEATH
Broody avant rock...
"Trumpets of Death have delivered a record which is uncompromising in its vision and, most wonderfully, complete in its execution. It is a record which richly rewards repeat listens. Teeth + Teeth = Teeths is something music in 2011 desperately needs: a shot of the dark stuff, delivered by people who know exactly what they're doing" Soundblab.com
