Bear In Heaven / Bacherlorette / Juffage / Sky Larkin
A night of quality indie at the Brudenell Social ClubLeeds power trio Sky Larkin are the surprisingly high-profile openers tonight, having been signed to and released their debut LP The Golden Spike on the renowned Wichita imprint last year. Their semi-secret appearance can perhaps be put down to old allegiances, as the show is being promoted by local label Dance To The Radio, which released their early singles.
