Vipertime x Moron Butler - a jazz/punk album launch
2026-05-27 19:00 - 23:00 (Europe/London)
Leeds aggro-jazz group Vipertime and Kent-based post-punk band Moron Butler launch their new collaborative album ‘Vipertime & Moron Butler’. Lyric heavy, hard edged and combining the acerbic attack of Gang of Four, the motoric drive of Can and the abstractions of John
Coltrane, the album is released 20th May on Hastings label Property Of The Lost. Expect a set from each band plus plenty of cross-pollination.

Industry Night ft. Yossari Baby and special guests
2026-06-04 19:30 - 22:00
Shooting Tzars x Alphaville UK Presents… ‘INDUSTRY NIGHT’ featuring Yossari Baby, KiosK, Unlucky & Smuj. An evening filled with the most incredible music that only the music industry could only dream of scouting.

Formed by request for the Manchester mafia during the silent pandemic late hours of the White Hotel. Notorious for their provocative live shows. Melding big electronic beats and dirty guitars with esoteric visuals and a melodic prowess from the resident Mannequin de Marseille. Yossari Baby join us at Wharf Chambers to celebrate second album ‘New Brutality’ released via Alphaville Records. (Apocalyptic Disco)

Leeds based electronic duo Kiosk make dance-punk influenced by the city’s diverse DIY scene. Their sound shifts between postpunk inflected dance beats, dreamy soundscapes and pounding techno noise, combining drum machines and analogue synthesis with raw lyrics and heavily processed bass.

Brainchild Patrick James Fitzroy will showcase his latest project Unlucky, up from the big smoke (London). Debut single ‘No God’ released earlier this year has amassed thousands of streams in its infancy. Expect dark electronics fused with abrasive guitars and religious induced paranoia.

New to the Shooting Tzars roster, Leeds/Newcastle based garage rockers Smuj bring chaos and confusion to Wharf Chambers. Their latest EP ‘A Lot Of Time’ features fast paced angular riffage that intend for a good time and a good time only. FFO Roxy Girls, Duds

Seven by Seven
2026-06-14 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.

BLYTH POWER / THE METATRONS / THE LOST SQUIRRELS
2026-06-21 14:00 - 19:00
BLYTH POWER were formed in 1984 by singer and drummer Joseph Porter, formerly of Zounds and The Mob. Forty-odd years later they are still surprising audiences with their evolving blend of folk and punk rock. Joseph, Annie, Ben, Dion & Hugo are celebrating the Summer solstice by returning to their favourite Leeds venue after a two-year absence.
THE METATRONS are a delightfully fuzzy Riot-Pop guitar band from Hertfordshire. Polly is the singer, Rico is the bass player, Steve is the drummer and Simon plays the guitar. This gig is part of a wider tour to promote their fifth album “The Ever Present Now” due in June 2026, and we’re delighted to be hosting their debut at Wharf Chambers.
THE LOST SQUIRRELS are Harry, Peter, Gilbert and Finlay, West Leeds teenagers who combine catchy choruses, bouncy guitar riffs and downright bizarre subjects in a beautifully eccentric manner. This is their first time at Wharf Chambers too – although you may recognise singing drummer Peter from his other band, Indignation Meeting.
