Slam Dunk Festival 2006 – Millennium Square, Leeds

Having never been to one of the Millennium Square gigs that have increasingly been put on in Leeds over the last 12 months, I can safely report back that the venue actually holds a gig pretty well. There’s plenty of space for the 7,000 kids to enjoy their day,

Panic! At The Disco – Leeds Met Uni

I’m getting worried that I’m almost old enough to be the grandfather of some of the kids that are attending gigs nowadays. I swear I saw children at this show – like six or seven years old. Now that’s a worry. You know when a band has hit the

Against Me! – Leeds Cockpit

A lot of people have had something to say about Against Me! in the months since they signed to Sire Records, and it certainly seems that many of them want to see if it’s affected their live performance in a positive or negative manner as The Cockpit is rammed

The Bled – Leeds Cockpit

The room was pretty much full by the time Fall Of Troy appeared and those who arrived late will surely have been cursing themselves. An awesome mix of largely instrumental atmospheric screamo/post-rock greeted the ears of the fringed and it was fairly impressive. Vocals were weak and the singer/guitarist

Bring Me The Horizon – The Fenton, Leeds

As I made my way up towards this evenings venue, I began to wonder whether or not the promoter for tonight’s gig had made a wise choice, opting for The Fenton, which isn’t one of Leeds biggest venues, to hold four bands which are all likely to bring enough

Fall Out Boy – Leeds Cockpit

The internet is the best, and worst, thing in the world. Fall Out Boy will tell you this as fact. They’re perhaps one of THE most talked about bands on the web and it’s this that has led to a sold out UK tour – a tour which

Reel Big Fish – Leeds University

“Snow is falling, all around me, children playing, having fun” – pardon the Christmas singsong, but you’d be forgiven for thinking that Leeds had turned into deep mid-Winter with snow blizzards, viciously cold winds and icicles seemingly dripping off my nose. The things we do to get to a

Bowling For Soup – Manchester Academy

I know I’ve prattled on about this before, but am I too old at 22 to be going to a Bowling For Soup show? I mean looking at the crowd there are more 13-year-olds than you can shake the proverbial stick at it. And not only that, but

Leeds Festival 2002 – Sunday

So the Leeds leg of the 2002 Carling Festival went with a bang – literally. Thanks to the mindless minority we may well have to go without a 2003 fest, which would be a great shame seeing as though 2002 rocked. Punktastic (and half of its message board) went,

Green Day – London Wembley Arena

Ugh, arena shows. Ugh, £3.50 for a can of beer. Ugh, Less Than Jake not playing. Ugh, the fact that 90% of the audience have no idea whatsoever of what to do during a punk gig (Note: if you do not consider Green Day to be ‘punk’,
