TRIPLE SCHOOL//PLAAYDOH//MUCKY SAILOR: LEEDS, 23RD JULY
TRIPLE SCHOOL
A new band employing the prepossessing talents of That Fucking Tank lad Giles Bailey and chum Tom Varley in a pared-down paean to the punk model laid down by the likes of Black Flag & The Circle Jerks. Feral and disorderly, with stacks of drum clouting, tireless showmanship, oblique lyricism and sweating. www.myspace.com/tripleschool
PLAAYDOH
A Glaswegian four-piece who combine the cheerful melody of Architecture In Helsinki with the messy scratch of Stereolab to create a beguilingly simplistic and rumpled chirp full of strident basslines and keyboard twinkle. They are also generous enough to give away an EP of music for no money via Winning Sperm Party Records which you should take advantage of this minute. www.myspace.com/plaaydoh
MUCKY SAILOR
The unlikely and perhaps unfortunate musical partnership of a 56-year old man and his 13-year old son. A complete nightmare on paper and only marginally better in the flesh. Nevertheless, an endearing example of music therapy for dysfunctional families almost working out. www.myspace.com/muckysailor
