¡New Yorkshire! – Leeds indie in the noughties, led by whiskas and Simon Rix
Leeds was living the indie highlife at the turn of the 20th/21st century: Kaiser Chiefs, Skylarkin and ¡Forward Russia! were among the city’s bands reaching national and international acclaim. Now with the 20th anniversary of Employment coming up, join the musicians who were there to explore key venues of the New Yorkshire scene, to hear the inside story of ‘I Predict a Riot’ and understand what made – and continues to make – Leeds especially supportive for birthing new music.
