Kings Of Leaks

Welcome to Mark II of this blog - all previous posts featured in my previous blog, now defunct. In time you'll come to expect gigs photos, reviews, news and the like. I'll also be giving you the heads up on recently leaked albums as well as artists that deserve your attention.

Gig Of The Week:
Maximo Park - Newcastle-Upon-Tyne HMV
The fake Geordie Kings make a spectacular return home following tomorrow night's gig in The Baltic art gallery (class gallery, by the way) by playing a special midnight instore on the night of April 1st/2nd on Sunday - worth the trip down there if you're in the area, if only to see if it's an April Fool after all.
Tickets free from HMV Newcastle from 11am on the day, doors open at 11.45

Recently leaked albums:
Kings Of Leon - Because Of The Times
Maximo Park - Our Earthly Pleasures
Battle - Break The Banks
The Maccabees - Colour It In
Enter Shikari - Take To The Skies
The Academy Is... - Santi

Go find them yourselves.

Bands you need in your life:
Field Music
Sunderland three-piece containing ex-Futureheads drummer Peter Brewis along with younger brother David and friend Andy Moore. The Brewis Brothers will be one of those immortal names you'll hear in twenty years when people discuss who the best songwriting partnership of all time was.
Albums available:
Field Music
Write Your Own History (bsides/rarities)
Tones Of Town

Kyle Andrews
American small-time solo artist who makes wonderfully every-day music with a warm twist, the sort of music you can only describe as beautiful.
Albums available:
Amos In Ohio

Random MP3 Of The Week
Mcfly - The Top Gear Blues (live of Top Gear Of The Pops)
I am an obsessive Top Gear fan, as every good petrol head should be. Thanks to the Comic Relief episode and this song, I'm now also a Mcfly fan. Damn TG. (NO money will be taken from charity when downloading this audio rip of the live performance. There is no official audio of this about. If one does become available the link will be taken down.)

MP3: Maximo Park - Graffiti (live at Lowlands Festival, 2005)
MP3: Field Music - You're So Pretty
MP3: Field Music - Shorter Shorter
MP3: Kyle Andrews - Sushi
