When The Sun Goes Down at Leeds Festival

Photos by Elly Gilvarry. Author: Elly Gilvarry

The atmosphere at Leeds Festival certainly didn’t change when the sun went down and Arctic Monkeys were due to hit the stage. Despite the weather change from glorious sun to a cold evening, there was still a sea of bucket hats to be seen. Over the bank holiday weekend of the 27th and 28th August, Arctic Monkeys headlined Reading and Leeds Festival, just ahead of their new upcoming album, ’The Car’ which is hitting stores on October 21st. 

The Sheffield based band were welcomed back to their county of Yorkshire, with plenty of fan signs confessing their love to the lead singer, Alex Turner. The band came on stage and the bass hit for Do I Wanna Know from their 2013 Album, AM. The crowd was loud and electric for Arctic Monkeys return since their last UK tour in 2018. Brianstorm created a huge sing-a-long of “duh duh duh” and so did other songs played from their 2007 album, Favourite Worst Nightmare. The band then decided to slow things down and played Do Me a Favour, Cornerstone and a new unreleased track from their upcoming album ‘I aint quite where I am’ yet’ gave fans a taster for their new album which Alex Turner has said the boys “have come back down to earth” after their last album Tranquillity Base Hotel and Casino (2018). 

The High Green band then picked back up the pace with songs from their first album, Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not (2006). From the Ritz to the Rubble was played and followed by their 2006 NME Award for best track, ‘I Bet You Look Good On the Dancefloor’. The sold out crowd danced like it was 2006, until the guitar faded out and Arctic Monkeys were due to play their last song, 505. The crowd crumbled and certainly there was tears to be seen. Turner conveyed the emotion of the song until the band went off stage. As soon as their presence descended, the crowd was eager for more and began chanting ‘one more song’ and soon enough, the Arctic Monkeys were back to play not one, not two, but three encore’s! Turner greeted the crowd with his Yorkshire shout of “LEEEDS” and played One Point Perspective, Arabella and R U Mine? Once the band had finished their set, the crowd was chanting “Mardy Bum’, a hit from their first album, Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not, but were met with a heavy disappointment that the band had finished, leaving fans eager for a UK tour for ‘The Car’, released in October. 

There just aren't enough hours in the day.....

Ok, we’re at Thursday evening and I’ve been chasing my tail all week, tryingto get myself up to date and organised to write and post this week’s blog. Not happening…. there are only so many hours in a day. There are only somany post-work hours in a day too. (Yes, I work full time in the “salt mine”.) Some of you may recall that this blog has a baby sister – my music blog-  the525toglasgow…

I had a magical time at @houghtonfestival 2022 (these were my only 3 pics) and I’ve done a write up on my blog… Linktree, bio for link 🌞💚🌳🎶✨ #houghtonfestival #electronicmusic #gigreviews https://www.instagram.com/p/Chr9dxvsPjo/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"THEY'RE THE FASTEST THING IN THE WORLD. YOU OUGHTA LIKE 'EM -- THEY'RE A PUNK MOTÖRHEAD."

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on "WHY"-era DISCHARGE on the 1981 UK summer Apocalypse Punk/Apocalypse Now Tour. 📸: Jeff G and Martin Dean.

"Singer Calvin captivates the eyeballs from the off. He's young with a rabid animal quality. Very urgent. He moves great and looks mean, lean and hungry. The sounds they make are... uncompromising. It's pure chaos played ultra-fast. No tunes, no songs, no variation. Unperturbed, I asked a few punters why they liked the band -- the gorgeous and discerning Beki Bondage likes 'em, so I must be missing the point, surely?:

"They're the fastest thing in the world." "You oughta like 'em - they're a punk MOTÖRHEAD and you like MOTÖRHEAD.""

-- SOUNDS, "Night of the Punk Undead," written by Garry Bushell, July 11 1981

Dis nightmare still @$!*#&% continues!!

Blood Red Shoes live @ Rescue rooms, Nottingham (18/11/19)

If you're a fan of indie-, garage rock and loud and fearless instruments hen you have to listen to Blood Red Shoes. The duo from Brighton consisting of Laura-Mary Carter on guitar and vocals and Steven Ansell on drums and vocals delivered an electric performance in support of their new album "Get tragic". The stage was lit with the signature green light. Right from the get go both members of the band made it obvious that their main priority is good, loud music. The duo complimented each other brilliantly and at times completely lost themselves in musical ecstasy. And it was extremely infectious.

You could see fans from all generations. It was interesting to see how people from different ages appreciated the music of BRS. From the first not of "Elijah" the dancing started. By their melodic and extremely catchy "Don't ask" those who didn't know the band started enjoying them and no one attending the gig was standing still. The very last and their most well-known song "I wish I was someone better" ended the gig with a bang. The venue was full and there was almost no space proving how loved the band is. You should have a listen of their new album "Get tragic" as well as their older stuff. And see them live if you appreciate good music.

Wow, two posts in a day 👀 something must be in the air 😂.

Anyways, I finally got round to completing the 2 part blog on Roadrunner United. You thought you was bad with procrastination, but this blog was 2 years in the making, and ironically I watched the DVD back then before I even considered writing part 1 on the album 🙈 Ahh well it’s done. As you’re all loyal followers, I hope, I’m giving you a 24 hour exclusive with a first read of my blog which I will post on Amino tomorrow 👀 https://musicismyvice4.blogspot.com/2020/04/mymetalvault-roadrunner-united-concert.html?m=1

The Roadrunner United project is a special to me in every regard and I enjoyed reviewing it and getting all introspective with it. @roadrunnerrecords made my teen years more bareable and this is in tribute to the iconic record label. You can find part 1 on my blog too, just use the sidebar. Enjoy! 🤘 🤘 🤘 🤘 #metal #gigreviews #gigreview #roadrunnerrecords #roadrunnerunited #slipknot #trivium #machinehead #glenbenton #2000smetal #timripperowens #sepultura #joeyjordison #paulgrey #coreytaylor #mattheafy #robbflynn #fearfactory #killswitchengage #scottian #typeonegative #blog #musicblog https://www.instagram.com/p/B_nuUIsntCH/?igshid=1spua5vg04x12
