Leeds has a wonderful and diverse live music scene where you could easily go to five gigs a week without too much effort. Each week we\u2019ll be asking some of our contributors for their opinions on a selection of the live events coming up in the next week. This week Alex, Becca and James share their thoughts.<\/span><\/i>
\n<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Jordan Allen – Key Club – Wednesday<\/b><\/span><\/i><\/h3>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Jordan Allen<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Mid-week indie from the emphatic Jordan Allen.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

James <\/b>The epitome of post-Arctic Monkeys indie. The sort of artist that futuresound will put on until they\u2019re done moshing and go back to Oporto to listen to the same ten indie songs they\u2019ve had on repeat since AM came out.<\/span><\/p>\n

Becca<\/b> An event guaranteed to be overflowing with a bunch of boys dressed as wannabe Liam Gallaghers; a sea of flat caps and cans of Strongbow Dark Fruits. If you like bands such as The Courteeners, Arctic Monkeys or Blossoms then you\u2019ll probably enjoy this, but just be warned that if you\u2019re over the age of 19 then you\u2019ll probably be the oldest one there.<\/span><\/p>\n

Romare – Headrow House – Friday<\/b><\/h3>\n

Natural Selection bring Romare to Headrow House as they come to the end of their third season.<\/em><\/p>\n

Becca <\/b>Romare is cool in the most \u2018Edgy Leeds\u2019 way of being cool. This is a gig that will succeed being a mix of all things funky, jazzy and a even a little bit psychedelic, so if you wanna impress your friends by demonstrating how edgy you\u2019ve become since moving to the city, then definitely drag them down to Headrow House- you\u2019ll be sure to have a good night.<\/span><\/p>\n

Alex <\/b>Oh Romare, Romare Romare Romare. One of the weirdest and most wonderful artists in the truest sense of the word. Combing his love for collage in both his visual artwork and music, Romare has bought a sound and aesthetic that\u2019s hard to define other than it\u2019s cool and has you guessing all night long. Expect African influenced beats with a soulful edge that will have you grooving to your heart’s content.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Team Picture – Hyde Park Book Club – Friday<\/b><\/h3>\n

Team Picture have been relatively quiet since the release of their mini-album recietal earlier this year but are back for their first headline show in Leeds since June.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Becca <\/b>Having seen Team Picture on several separate occasions now, I feel I\u2019m in a qualified to encourage you to go to this. It\u2019s guaranteed to be loud, fun and hopefully a little bit weird.<\/span><\/p>\n

Alex <\/b>In contrast to Becca, having never seen Team Picture I\u2019m really not that qualified to encourage you to go along – but I\u2019m going to anyway! Very new wave alternative with those broody vocals and intermittent electric guitar solos. There\u2019s a kind of nostalgia to their music, even when you have never heard them before like me! So go listen to some new music and support some local talent. <\/span><\/p>\n

High and Lonesome Winter Special – Brudenell – Saturday<\/b><\/h3>\n

High and Lonesome bring The Howl and The Hum, Archie Faulks, Amy May Ellis, Crake, Sunflower Thieves and Altar Hanglands to the Brudenell for a warming mid-winter gathering.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Becca <\/b>The Howl and the Hum are absolutely killing it at the moment, not just within the Leeds music scene but in the UK in general. That should be enough of a reason to attend this gig, but if it isn\u2019t then the free entry should be more than enough to tempt you down to the Brude.<\/span><\/p>\n

Alex<\/b> Free gig at the Brude. And a local lineup letting limbs loosen. Lovely.<\/span><\/p>\n

James\u00a0<\/b>Godmanchester Chinese Bridge.<\/p>\n

Cousin Kula – Oporto – Sunday<\/b><\/h3>\n

Etherial psych-pop spilling out from Bristol across the country to Oporto for a Sunday night groove.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Becca<\/b> Cousin Kula will definitely suit the small, intimate setting of Oporto so if you were thinking of seeing them then this is the perfect place for it.<\/span><\/p>\n

James <\/b>This band feel like the next hype band. Oh sick nice synths bro, really cool guitar tone m8, oooh breathy vocals niiiicee. Needless to say I\u2019m on the hype train in a desperate attempt to seem cool.<\/span><\/p>\n
