MONSTER KILLED BY LASER
This hard (Prog)rocking 4 piece have been tearing shit up since 2001 with roots born in Wakefield but now based in Leeds. As well as official approval by the 70s Italian Horror/Progmeisters GOBLIN, the band have flexed the boards with such greats as, Acid Mothers Temple, Big Business, Coughs, Dalek, Melvins, Oxes, The Pump, Sunburned, Wolf eyes Etc… Have been known to emit a certain presence and sex appeal in the live situation with an underlying aroma of mystique. Currently working on new full length album set for release in 09.

CLECKHUDDERSFAX
"Cleckhuddersfax are something special. They are one of those things where you’re not sure why you like it but as soon as you come into contact with it you just want more all the time and nothing else will do. Unlike similar, immediately engrossing things like say erm… Ribena, or DMT Cleckhuddersfax will not leave you broke, destitute, sleeping on other people’s floors or toothless. The band are part of a group of vaguely London based outfits like Spin Spin The Dogs, Man Aubergine and Poltergroom who have all ended up sounding weird and intensely fun without that ever being the intention." – VICE MAGAZINE
debut long play cd now available on CHINCHILLA-TONE RECORDS

ACTION BEAT
Action Beat – the noise band from Bletchley are an improv noise/no-wave band often made up of musicians who are available to play the gig on any particular day. They sound quite like early sonic youth, Glenn Branca, Swans, Rhys Chatham and a bunch of nineties grunge bands. Action beat normally have at least 4 guitarists, a bassist and up to four drummers!

INDICA RITUAL
Indica Ritual are a five piece band from liverpool who play what might be loosely termed “prog-pop”. Indica ritual are a dynamic, lively and inventive five piece with dreams of duran duran-esq pop perfection. For fans of Cardiacs, DEVO, prince, the dismemberment plan and obviously Duran Duran. Feature members of A.P.A.T.T, Stig Noise and Balloons.

PICORE (spain)
Four "veteran" members of the spanish hardcore scene that don't play hardcore. Their style is closer to some kind of avant-trance-rock with a basic/organic sound, winding structures, lyrics in Spanish and a political, ironic and aggressive code. Their attitude, on and down the stage, comfortably moves them away from any commercial scene. After 5 years of composing, 3 albums, 250 shows, 2 european tours also working for other bands as a DIY collective (Enablers, Charlottefield, Ches Smith, Damo Suzuki, Joe Lally, Zu, These Arms Are Snakes, Pulled Apart by Horses, Poltergroom and many others), they are visiting the UK for the first time.

WONDERSWAN
Wonderswan formed in early 2008 in Leeds with the intention of knocking out some skuzzy lo-fi nineties style rock. Currently carving a niche as Leeds’ finest slackers, with ramshackle but charming live performances typified by playing their songs far too fast and falling over. They sound very much like Pavement which makes me happy. Feature ex-members of boyracer and grammatics.

http://www.myspace.com/wonderswanband

UPRIGHTS
Local super grungers UPRIGHTS conjure up an impressive noise! Think Minutemen with hints of early Mudhoney and Nirvana.

www.myspace.com/uprightsband


FRINGES
Forceful yet right pretty rock jazzing from Bristol deliver their melodic mix of guitars, maths and sax. Short, impatient post-rock songs with angular dynamics.

www.myspace.com/fringesband

MARKMAKE
A warm trio of boy, girl, boy from outer space play clattering drum, melodious woody bass and twangy guitar. Laced up with electro tones Markmake play a loose blend of Can rhythm, folk and 60's lounge.

STENCH ON CHINCHILLA PRESENT…..


PRINTED CIRCUIT
"Leeds-based Claire Broadley (Printed Circuit) makes music for dealing with the urban environment. Music made out of all your favourite colours (the strobing clashing palette of Spectrums loading), amped up into a retina-bending neon and mapped into sound by your favourite ever instruments (C64's, Playstation's, SNES's). There's no reason why high streets can't be the colour of this album's Rainbow Islands-esque cover art. There's no reason why music can't be allowed to make you happy instead of just pretending to make you sad."
Plan b magazine


INDICA RITUAL
"Quirky, jerky, incredibily clever electro pop from these 5 whippersnappers. They write songs that Talking Heads wish they had, and DEVO probably did when they were off their cake. And fantastic to watch live too! we like you indica ritual!"
Generation::Live magazine


PUTTIN' ON THE RITZ
It would seem that many documents have been lost and/or destroyed, and as a result much of the origins and early history of this particular ensemble remains obscured. Perhaps future generations will be able to unearth more evidence, but that remains to be seen. What is known is that Puttin' On The Ritz consists of two human beings, both male and above the age of consent. They have been known to imbibe large quantities of alcohol before, during, and after their performances; for some reason this is their preference. Occasionally this obsession with intoxication produces disastrous results; other times they are merely threatened with violence. The problem is not that they are unaware of the answer, but that they forgot what the question was. Time will tell, weather permitting.

COWTOWN

THE UPRIGHTS

We had the pleasure of getting wet and confused at this years MOORFEST. You can listen to us play our newest song 'WII ARMS' live if you sift through the following podcast. It's about 44 minutes into Moorfest - day 2 of wetness.

as of this week cowtown are officially a three piece again. many of you won't probably know what i'm talking about (i assume from the way people shout out things like 'who's that guy on the stage with you?' etc) but we have been trying out a singer for a while now but we have gone back to the magic number three as of this week.
for those of you who have seen us with a singer i will explain that steve has decided to leave the town to concentrate on a career as a curator of vegetables and small fruits.
we will not be replacing him but will instead be using the extra space to bring more sweets and coffee with us to shows which i promise = extra fun times :)

HEY FOLKS. JUST LETTING YOU KNOW THAT THE COWTOWN ALBUM WAS DELIVERED TO MY HOUSE TODAY! IT IS SHINY AND FULL OF COWTOWN PARTY TUNES. YOU WANT ONE? IT'S SIX POUNDS PLUS POSTAGE [£2] TO ANYONE WHO WANTS ME TO MAIL THEM ONE OUT. I'LL SORT OUT SOME KIND OF PAYPAL BUT FOR NOW I'LL BE TAKING CHEQUES ETC. IF YOU'D LIKE A COPY PLEASE MAIL ME AT
