Vortex Rex, Skoud, That Fucking Tank, Pifco February 2, 2006

Vortex Rex (Vienna, Austria)

A new and exciting type of rock music that bypasses being muscular and smart but instead makes you jump for joy by being fun, hardcore, lo-fi, indie, catchy,
screamy and shouty and mint. They enjoy playing with the Gossip around their way and you should enjoy watching them play a gig in Leeds.

Skoud (Europe)

Matt said he was born in Russia and has travelled from somewhere better than the UK to play musics on a laptop that will be like Four Tet, and he?s coooool.

That Fucking Tank

Second of tonight?s Leeds based duos - a guitar and a drum kit played to sound big and bad. Lots of riffs, not lots of clothes. ?The most masculine band I have
ever seen? said a child in Manchester. Grrrrrrrr, man-rock.

Pifco

A guitar and drums two piece with singing. Touches millions of song bases, like the fall, like shellac, like sonic youth. Wicked new grunge but much better than that sounds. There names are Steven and Mary andtheir songs are the best.
