where the basement used to be under the merrion centre.

the flyer i have lists:

Sonic Youth, Pavement, Wolf Parade, Idlewild, Bowie, Radiohead and loads more of good stuff i cant remember

it's the first friday of every month i.e this friday coming up

yeh im a first year at the music college in leeds and pretty much all of the freshers stuff is really shit...

theres a really nice bar called sela near primark in the center which has good live music sometimes...

also 12th october - upstairs in the library pub theres a night with really good music on...like jeffrey lewis, daniel johnston, belle and sebastien, magnetic fields, herman dune, the fall, etc...

strangeways at the wire also has good stuff...not sure when its on...but jeffrey lewis is guest djing 19th of october i think...

thats all i know of...

Not sure about SY, but Jeff Lewis, Pavement, etc...

for all the suggestions. Idioteque sounds pretty good so I might give that a try.

just in case you like breakcore too... you should go to polyphonic at the common place this friday. yup.

The Three Legs.

It's amazing.

Luke Vibert and Kid606, innit.

George Pringle's playing too, which should be fun. I went last time and they played When I Argue I See Shapes, My Friend Goo, Geek USA, A Boy Like Me, For Reverend Green, various CYHSY, Modest Mouse and Shins tracks...it's a good mix, and probably one of the better nights in town that I've come across so far.

Other than that, there's next Saturday - the Brighton Beach clubnight is on at the union in the main university. Apparently there's a decent riotgrrl type night at the Common Place every month, called Suck My Left One, but I've not been to that yet either. Kenickie were the first band on the flyer. I take that as a good sign.

Its in the top bracket of indie clubs.

And it has nights where it plays all that rubbishy DiS stuff that I've never heard of.

Everyone who's anyone goes to Wire though.

I tend to sneak out after about an hour and go and dance to the R&B next door. Is it Mylo next door? I think that's her name.

from norman records always seem to know about good stuff going on in leeds but i am generally about 3000 miles away, except that time last year when i was in leeds and danced as a pirate in what was probably idioteque and that time i was in leeds also last year when i went to the fav and for sure they played sonic youth...i danced less like a pirate and more like a spastic to shy child

but 'The Mixing Tin', 'The Vine'& 'The Cardigan arms' was recommended to me.

Just as general music venues.

Thanks to this thread, I was almost (though not actually) tempted to ask the people who were getting as excited as I was about "When I Argue I See Shapes" followed by "Holland, 1945" if they were on DiS.

Still, that's the best one-two punch I've heard in a club in some time - the two songs I pretty much specifically came there to hear, in a row. My voice has still yet to recover.
