Sensoria is delighted to announce the Yorkshire Music showcase at 02 Academy 2. The event is in association with Plugged In Yorkshire which launches this month.
The gig is a true South by West Yorkshire showcase – the line up includes:
SERIOUS SAM BARRETT – belts out heartfelt country blues on his 12 string resonator that could be from across the Atlantic but are actually totally grounded in Yorkshire.
OBLONG – Tracy Deakins’ deceptively powerful vocals front an immersive rock guitar sound from the band that are ‘generating more buzz than a swarm of bees’ NME.com
THE CROOKES – this fresh-faced indie group base formed at the University of Sheffield and base their lyrics on 60s kitchen sink dramas. A crowd-pleaser every time.
STANDARD FARE – named after a sign spotted on a bus, this guitar trio use girl-boy vocals to evoke lovelorn lyrics. Shared influences range from Fleetwood Mac to Rancid.
GRAMMATICS – combine cello-led grandeur with choral vocals to create art school pop with unashamed indulgence – add a dash of prog rock for good measure.
