Filth Fest @ The Well, Leeds 29/10/11
Soooo many good bands on this all-dayer... and for £7 adv, who can complain? For a chance to check the bands out in advance, have a read through our descriptions and check some of the links out, some great info on there.
PALEHORSE (Eyes Of Sound)
Palehorse's style and approach is heavy to say the very least and is underpinned by their distinctively characteristic subject matter. Song names such as 'One, But Not Metallica' and 'How To Avoid Huge Riffs' cement a sense of humour into their music. And, why not? Sometimes one can grow weary of the constant over-usage of 'epic' and dark imagery forever typecast within the slow and doomy riff worshipping genres of the modern day. I mean, don't get me wrong we love this kind of imagery, and when its done well, there is no better alternative, but it makes a refreshing change nevertheless. More to the point, Palehorse are original and thats what appeals to us. A great mixture between the bleakness of drone, the disparity of sludge and the stoner groove we all love.

Lavotchkin / Humanfly / Beards / False Flags @ Santiagos, Leeds. 01/10/11
Big Spaceship Presents:
A NIGHT DEDICATED TO TINNITUS
1st October, @ Santiagos Bar, Leeds
Lavotchkin
Unrelenting sludgey post-hardcore from Newcastle. These guys have been to Leeds and ripped it up a few times in the past, but that doesn't mean that this time is any different. Their album 'Widow Country' has had a bit of time to sink in since summer last year and with a new split 7" with Leeds metallers End To Empires out now, what better time to release their blood-soaked, raging filth on the city of Leeds once again. If you are a bit shy, and a bit reserved, I would probably leave that behind because by the first song you will be pounding your sodden chest with fist clenched, screaming at your relative counterpart from across the room.
They have been described as "possibly the closest thing you will ever get to a UK equivalent to Botch".

The Big Spaceship blasts off once again, inviting you to climb aboard her, as she weaves her way on an eclectic excursion, aiming only to appease her audiences. Attendees can surely expect auditory amusement aplenty...

...BIG SPACESHIP PRESENTS:
A JOURNEY OF UNPARALLELED, GARGANTUAN GROOVE.
Introducing your crew for the voyage; effervescently educating audiences on all things astronomically audible via their Olfactory Organ Oscillators™:
We suggest you contact your Lieutenant ASAP and make him earn his wages. Order him to activate both primary and secondary deflector shields for the duration of this duo's set, because they have their phaser firmly set to 'kill'. A tight, compact unit that threatens to deliver the heat of a thousand suns and instantly vaporise. Frequently firing away on all cylinders, never letting up until the enemy is annihilated... The weapon of choice: the inescapable...

Russell and the Wolves // Meddicine // ASSS
Low Culture and Big Spaceship Presents:
Saturday 6th August
Santiago’s, Grand Arcade, Leeds
...Doors 8.00pm
In celebration of the new split EP between ASSS and Meddicine, we present:
RUSSELL AND THE WOLVES
Almighty, well you’ll be goddamned. This band are literally the shit! Bluesy filth churned out at speed with a scary front man, what more could you ask for?
http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/russellandthewolvesband?sk=app_178091127385
Well, we also have:
MEDDICINE
Describing herself as ‘psychedelic nostalgia dance’, others have called her Grave Wave, we say whatever you’re into. The fact is that Meddicine’s creepy electronic is always chilling and cinematic with hints of Kraut here and there. A one girl Suicide Machine.
http://www.meddicine.net/
and the equally impressive:
A S S S
Hailing From Portland, Oregon, A S S S deal in minimal and deliciously bleak Electro/post-punk. Their songs emerge like soviet blocks of synths and devolve into howling industrial noise.
Think somewhere between Factory Floor and A Place To Bury Strangers.
http://thisplaceisawreck.blogspot.com/
Tickets: 4 adv (5 otd)
Jumbo, Crash and WeGotTickets link here: http://www.wegottickets.com/event/126936
Hope to see you there!

Etai Keshiki/ C.A.G./ Sloth Hammer/ Black Mantra
Big Spaceship Presents:
A night of noise, improv and electronic voids....
Etai Keshiki (leeds)
...If you haven't seen this band yet I am jealous. To see Etai for the first time is like washing your face with ice cream and meandering haplessly through a gauntlet of bee hives (but in the most pleasurable way). They say their sound has evolved since their last EP "Etai Or Die" and analogies aside, this band surprise with there ever more visceral and robust sound. A combination of noise, hardcore and sludgey grooves, Etai are able to create and destroy before you even have chance to realise it.
http://etaikeshiki.bandcamp.com/album/etai-or-die
Castrato Attack Group (leeds)
- "Sloth like dumbo rock"
A relatively new band spawned from the harrowing corners of Leeds. A 3-piece centered around an improvised ethos of freaking out on the tapered feedback from your amp, whilst riding the perpetual inertia of sub-bass surf and groove. Having seen their first gig as a three-piece a month or so ago, we quickly snapped these up on the Big Spaceship ride. CAG includes Luke Vollar of Lanterns and Gav Montgomery of Cissy.
No website yet- they're that new!
Sloth Hammer (leeds)
Here, I shall detail a few quotes about Sloth Hammer:
'Horrifically foul, but somehow fulfilling, and certainly entertaining to watch.' - Joe
'Twas a heavy beast. It has a godflesh / khanate vibe. Hideous' - Matthew
If you were to turn Justin Bieber inside out and plug him into a Sunn amp...it probably wouldn't do much...other than eternally scar millions of thumb-sucking disney tots, nevertheless you see what I'm getting at. Sloth Hammer portray depravity at its lowest point; blood curdling resonances that can implode minds (metaphorically of course) and distinguish any hopes of getting out alive. Circuit-bent, hell-bent and mind-bending electronic doom featuring members from Diascorium.
http://www.myspace.com/theslothhammertwo
Black Mantra (wakefield)
Beyond time and space on a small green moon, The Weed Priest smokes. Sending clouds of madness up to blackened skies. Deep chants resonate on wasted plains of crippled landscapes. Sonic boundaries fall from reality as the call of the ancients ring out. The black winged beast is stirred and takes flight!
Disparate drone from the mind's astral plain (via Wakefield).
Come down for a night of cheap thrills, cheap drinks and dense anomalous cloud-like cosmic matter.
Be inside the Fenton for 7:30 or we shall hunt you down with our far superior weaponry.
£2 in.
