Midding + CRIG + Cellar Messiah
2025-03-19 19:30 - 23:00
Midding headline with their raw yet widescreen take on psych, noise-rock, and industrial-pop – Spector-sized ambition, tremolo guitars, and feedback waves, all shaped through the grit of an 8-track Tascam. CRIG follows with stripped-back, deadpan charm – lo-fi strumming and wry lyricism. For fans of early Guided By Voices. Cellar Messiah open the night with driving, fuzz-drenched psych – Spacemen 3 meets Jefferson Airplane.

DAYDREAMERZ
2025-03-16 16:00 - 22:00
“ATOMIC presents an all dazer for the dreamgazers, a wonderment of psychadelia, kulture, and sweetness. Opening with a free art market in the bar, bringing the works of local artists, the day follows into the evening with a showcase of shoegaze and dream pop.

HINATA started as a bedroom project, and evolved into a dynamic 4-piece band. Deep rooted in the DIY music scene, the band work collaboratively across a sea of genres and communities, and pull inspiration from all waves of art. Their sound draws influence from shoegaze likes of DIIV and Slowdive, with heavy synth and echoes of emotion to rock and sway to.

CONTRAIL are an ethereal ensemble with sounds of mellow, emotional rock infused with jazz. The 5-piece are dreamy, sax-fueled, and firmly making their mark on the local scene.

RATS TAILS are the dreamiest of dream rock rodents. A trance with unique experimentation and nostalic sound, the band have been making their name in Hackney and join us on their tour to make their Leeds debut.”

Kosmische Kommune: drone, ambience, freakout and groove-
2025-03-09 18:30 - 22:00
Krautrock Kurator returns to Wharf Chambers for an entirely new stand-alone event. Travel deeper into Kosmische with tracks mixed on vinyl at audiophile quality within a mixed media experience. Plus bring, introduce and (we will) spin your vinyl’ after session-make sure it’s krautrock or krautrock influenced!

Praise for Krautrock Kurator:

“I was fascinated by the way a narrative was created to give a context to the tracks. Reading (and hearing) about the social and political events which were the backdrop to those tracks, was really interesting and gave a sense of the development of the genre over time”.

“Krautrockkurator is an educative, almost meditative immersion into this most innovative of genres. Essentially a listening party, it appeals to the curious novice as well as older heads.”

“Loads of music that I’ve never heard before….. I think it’s a really well put together show…. It has inspired me to look up lots of stuff on krautrock”

“Thank you for a magical evening”

Seven by Seven
2025-03-09 15:00 - 21:00
Seven by Seven is a friendly open decks vinyl playing session. You can bring along and play us seven of your 7” 45rpm vinyl singles – hence Seven by Seven – or just come and listen to others play. The 7” 45rpm format is the only limitation. We don’t dictate the type of music – you can play whatever you want to, and we relish that variety!

No DJ skills are needed, and our ethos is – no pressure, no competition, no egos.

Please get there early to put your name down. We draw names out for the running order and later arrivals may be too late to be drawn. We also sometimes reduce the number of records that some people can play if we have high numbers attending – but we do try to fit in as many seven record sets as possible.

Seven by Seven is a non-commercial operation. We run our sessions purely for the joy of playing and listening to records as a shared experience.

NO FUN (Stooges covers band), Milky Wimpshake, Billy Billy 5p
2025-03-07 19:30 - 23:00
NO FUN: Have zero fun with Leeds’ own Stooges stooges. Featuring the very worst reprobates from your waking nightmares. Bring earplugs and sunglasses. FYI their words not mine.

Milky Wimpshake: They have been playing their brand of witty punk since 1993. Having lyrics about politics, getting a puncture, milkmaids and everyday office life, they are smart and noisy and 7 years to late for the C86 boom for which most of their material is indebted. With song titles like Etymology, I love you you weirdo, My heart beats faster than techno and Noam Chomsky vs The Ramones, you get the idea that they’re not your average songs of (at most) 3 minutes long.

Billy Billy 5p: Despite resistance from the band, my dogged perseverance had paid off and I’ve finally managed to secure these internationally unsuccessful behemoths from Bingley, Cumbria and Australia. They have a song about Terry McCann, a questionable one about a farmer and they wear bee-keeping outfits. You don’t need to know anything more than that. Trust me.

It’s a fiver on the door…more if you feel flush…..if you can bring cash then would would be great. I’m sure I’ll be able to work out the card machine by then so don’t worry too much. Thanks.

Lavender Gray @ Wharf Chambers + Prima Mobilia and Yuppie Supper
2025-02-22 19:30 - 23:00
Lavender Gray is a queer punk band born and raised in the North, emerging from rebellion and the unapologetic nostalgia of the early 2000s. With anthemic vocals and a ‘say it how it is’ attitude, The band embrace both vulnerability and strength, channeling resistance in every performance.
The Leeds DIY band Yuppie Supper play tunes guaranteed to get stuck in your head. Inspired by everything alternative about the 90s and 2000s, the picturesque lyrics of marginalised life contrasts their frenzied onstage state that compels audiences to waltz and mosh in the same two minutes.
Prima Mobilia are a four-piece alternative band from Leeds, using folk style storytelling and fluid song structures to create a strong atmosphere.
