Alexisonfire – Leeds Met Uni

The sound at Leeds University Refectory is nearly always bloody awful. I’ve been to some gigs that have been absolutely ruined by the atrocious sound, in what basically amounts to a long thin canteen. It’s also nearly always full of idiots, and tonight is no exception. Throughout the night

The Ataris – Leeds Met Uni

Walking into Leeds Met at around 8pm you’d be forgiven for thinking there was an Andrew WK lookalike contest going ahead on stage in front of you. Sadly it wasn’t a convention for the smelly one, rather PLANES MISTAKEN FOR STARS rocking out as if they
