Lineup and details for The Smokestacks, Dirty Kanvus on Thursday 24th July 2008

The Smokestacks
Forged in the same Leeds melting pot of pubs and clubs that have spawned so many great bands in recent years, The Smokestacks began life as a 5 piece freak-out outfit renowned for their blues-tinged tracks and onstage improvised antics. Playing sets informed by everything from 60s and 70s psychedelia such as The Band and The Who to modern Indie greats like Elbow, The Flaming Lips and Chaka Demus And Pliers, the ‘stacks started out playing alongside such luminaries as 10,000 things and The Sunshine Underground and rapidly became stalwarts of the Leeds music scene. 2008 sees the group return as a slimmer, more handsome alt-pop four-piece armed with a fresh, lean set of short, sharp, punchy pop songs destined to charm the musical pants off even the most hardened rock curmudgeon.

“Great songs of intricacy and complexity, but instantly comprehendible and impossibly catchy.”Sandman Magazine, Leeds

Dirty Kanvus
A psychedelic acid rock jam band from Nottigham. They create a fascinating musical landscape that borrows from The Doors, steals from White Stripes and makes up the rest out of fiery rock riffs, spaced out jams and twisted poetry. The band are building a strong local buzz in Nottingham and have been featured on BBC Nottingham. Dirty Kanvus' recent EP titled “Lets Make Our Getaway” was produced by The Animal Farm.
