Please Please You - Live Music In York

17 October 2011
Tellison + Missing Kids + Where's Hollywood?
There are four of them. They are boys. They play Fender Telecasters and Jazz Basses and Gibson Melody Makers and 1960s Ludwig drums. They care a lot and practice a lot. They met during an earthquake on the Isle of Arran. Arran is one of Scotland's most southerly islands and sits in the Firth of Clyde between Ayrshire and Kintyre. Arran is 19 miles long by 10 miles wide but has a remarkable diversity of landscapes and seascapes. Tellison have released one album and several singles, they've been a Myspace Recommended Artist twice, featured on the first two seasons of Channel 4's "The Inbetweeners" and their most recent single reached no. 4 in the independent music chart. Meanwhile they've toured relentlessly and without cease and shared stages with bands like Biffy Clyro, Noah and the Whale, Tubelord, Hot Club de Paris, Johnny Foreigner and many many more.

Herman Dune + supports.
Herman Düne, also known, since 2005, as Herman Dune (without the ü), is a Rock & Roll Duo. The line-up for Herman Dune is now (as in 2011) 1/David-Ivar Herman Dune: Voice, Song-Writing and Guitars. David-Ivar is most of the time called Yaya Herman Dune or just Yaya. 2/Néman Herman Dune: Drums and some backing vocals. Néman is now known as Cosmic Néman
Herman Dune started their career internationally, thanks to UK DJ John Peel who played them a lot and invited them to something like 10 Peel Sessions.

Portland was the perfect town for Herman Dune to record Strange Moosic, as many of their musician friends live there and were willing to participate in the making with their gifts, like Rachel Blumberg and Sean Flinn’s amazing singing on many tracks. Everybody worked together in the studio, and focused on making the song itself shine, everybody involved in making the melodies the grooves and the themes cut through. All crafts were used to make rich compositions out of the tunes without hiding any of the beauty of a simple song, played on an acoustic guitar, just the way they were conceived.

Tickets: £10adv/£12otd.

Darker Shades of Gorgeous + Fawn Spots
23 August 2011
Stereo
Darker Shades of Gorgeous, a dance-rock band who enjoy extravagant distortion pedals, skewed rhythms, word play and being generally decadent..... We have eight legs, no record label, and pretty much have the seven deadly sins down to a tee.
