Tasty Fanzine Present.... Marissa Nadler + Lionshare + David Thomas Broughton + North Cross
Marissa Nadler: On stage, clad in black shawls and cascading tresses, Marissa Nadler performs with an intricate finger-style on the guitar, ukele, and 5-string banjo. Yet it is often her voice that is a shuttle towards another time, a soprano reverberating with melancholy and longing. From her earliest incarnations, Marissa appeared with music that was unique and gorgeous skillfully and simply hinting at the songs of the sea, the haunting chansons of maidens, the cowboy ditties of ranchers, and the funerary processions of mourners. www.marissanadler.com
Lionshare: 'With all the stately dolorousness of early Leonard Cohen, they combine guitar, cello, and melancholy with strong, quiet hands. Its beautiful, mood-swung, post-psych folk'. - The Wire www.lionshare.org.uk
David Thomas Broughton: 'British entrant into the New Weird Americana movement brings some freeform Animal Collective folk sounds to Leeds.' americana UK 'Remarkable, like a timeless classic or an obscure LP you discovered in a dusty second hand shop.' angryape.com www.birdwar.com
North Cross: Hailing from the wilds of Manchester, North Cross will be gracing the good people of Leeds with their presence, making a rare trip over the Pennines to play their own brand of hushed folk/country melodies and soundscapes. Truly beautiful stuff. More info at www.tastyfanzine.org.uk and reviewer guest list requests to gigs@tastyfanzine.org.uk.

PLUS DJ’S AND MORE BANDS MAYBE.
Bring your own booze to Common Place and whilst you get pissed and have a good time you will get the chance to see the following.
BULLET UNION have just released an album, sound like SONIC YOUTH in Geffen times and shout and bang off!
EAGLE EYE is an emerging group of cretins who boogie to synth controlled guitar strains whilst singing like crap children. They think that they sound at times like BILGE PUMP, though the members of Pump deny such filth.
TERA TORA is a brand new, shiny, clean band making their debut in Leeds. Containing members of THE MURDER OF… they smell like EX MODELS.
Hopefully SAILORS can play but I’ve not asked them. Great.
Also, records will be spun on turn-tables by Leeds-types.
