ABOUT US

ROOM 237 IS THE BRAINCHILD OF THREE FRIENDS WHO HAVE SO FAR EVADED WARRENTS OF MUSICAL MUNDANITY. OUR PREFERRED MUSICAL TASTES MAY DIFFER BUT ARE BROUGHT TOGETHER BY A LOVE OF MUSIC THAT HAS OR IS PUSHING BOUNDARIES. MUSIC STYLES THAT WE ARE COLLECTIVELY CONCERNED WITH ARE LEFTFIELD INDIE, ELECTRONICA, NOISE-ROCK, AMBIENT, JUNGLE, EXPERIMENTAL, TECHNO AMONGST OTHER NON-DESCRIPT GENRES.

THE GIGS ARE PUT ON BY TOM. THE ETHOS, APART FROM BRINGING PEOPLE WE LOVE TO LEEDS/OXFORD, IS TO PROVIDE GIGS THAT SHOWCASE IMPRESSIVE LOCAL, NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL ACTS. OUR MAIN AIM IS TO SEE GOOD BANDS AND COMPLEMENT THE AMAZING DIY AND UNDERGROUND EVENTS PUT ON BY THE PROMOTERS IN THE UK THAT WE RESPECT.

THE ELECTRONICA/TECHNO/JUNGLE SIDE OF THINGS ARE RUN BY MARCUS AKA P45 WHO CAN BE SEEN PLAYING AT MANY EVENTS IN AND AROUND LEEDS, AS WELL AS OTHER LIKE-MINDED EVENTS. INFLUENCED BY AN ECLECTIC RANGE OF UNDERGROUND MUSIC FROM HIP HOP TO IDM AND ANYTHING INBETWEEN. THE CLUBNIGHTS HAVE AN UNDERLYING REASON TO PROMOTE MUSIC TO MAKE YOU THINK, ACTS ARE CHOSEN TO HIGHLIGHT THE IMPORTANCE OF FORWARD THINKING AUDIO THAT TESTS AUDIENCES FROM ALL MUSICAL BACKGROUNDS. HE IS ALSO LOOKING TO INTRODUCE HIS OWN LIVE BENDINESS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY IN THE COMING MONTHS AND TO CONTINUE SUPPORTING HIS PASSION FOR BRINGING TOGETHER PEOPLE THAT FOLLOW MUSIC FOR THE RIGHT REASONS.

CHRIS IS THE ILLUSTRATOR AND GRAPHIC ARTIST. HE EXPLOITS THE VIRTUES OF INNOCENCE TO CREATE SIMPLE BUT DARK RURAL IMAGERY. COMBINING JUXTOPOSED IMAGES OF HUMANS AND ANIMALS.
