Undercover – 25th April, 2015 8pm

2 Comments

Our April record club meeting gives us a chance to listen to music as covered by other artists, with a bit of a focus on David Bowie. Have they brought out new fresh insights … or just destroyed the strengths of the originals? Tonight you’ll hear David Bowie cover his favourite UK artists from 1964-1967 in the first of two planned Bowie 1960’a nostalgia albums (the second never surfaced). You’ll also hear renowned drummer Dylan Howe’s recent take on Bowie’s 1970’s Berlin period. The third album choice have tracks that cover the full gamut of weird, wonderful and Wet Wet Wet. And of course there are the tracks that *you* will be bringing along…?

Space – 28th February, 2015, 8pm, at the Kirkgate Centre

Space

**Updated with voting buttons 22 Feb**
As Ballboy once sang Space is brilliant! It’s so vast above our heads, such a place to marvel, to be inspired by – and so silent.

Space is also something we see around us every day back on terra firma. It’s what’s immediately around us. It what’s in our heads.

The possibilities of space are limitless.

We would like to try and have a Record Club that covers that breadth, that marvel – and unlike space, people feel they can just go to it….

Le Tour Bandwagon

Leave a comment

The Grand Depart of the Tour De France was just one week away when Record Club came around in June, so, like the rest of the world, wwe jumped on the bandwagon to create a playlist from the records brought along with a loose connection to the Tour De France, Yorkshire, cycling, etc.

We we’re not dissappointed as our punters were as broad or as obtuse as any Yorkshire folk should be. We had everything from the obvious – Pink Floyd: Bike, to the tenous – Echo and the Bunny Men: Killing Moon, and the inventive, All: Exercise.

Some great photos of the night were takien by Simon Sugden:

Full track listing will appear below soon.

The Smiths Influence

Leave a comment

We had the suggestion of ‘doing a Smiths night’, and through the discussion we got onto the things that influenced The Smiths and who The Smiths, in turn, influenced, and on the night we had piles of records to choose from. Thanks to everyone that brought something along.

Of course there were plenty of Smiths albums and singles, but also great music from the likes of The New York Dolls, The Stooges, Soho, Suede, Gene, The Primatives, The Shirells, Chic, Sandy Shaw, Bowie, Echobelly, The Velvet Underground, and many more.

Hatful of Hollow was the popular choice for an album that got a full airing.

This is not the first Smiths album to be played at Record Club. In the past we playedThe Queen is Dead at our Independent Record Shops event back in October 2012, and Morrissey’s Viva Hate was played as part of our Debut Albums event.

On the night it came down to Meat is Murder or this. Hatful of Hollow won partly because there are simply more tracks on it!

Thanks to Lee for bringing it along and sharing.

Record Store Day, 2014

Leave a comment

Record Store Day 2014 came and went, and some Record clubbers got up very early and grabbed their Record Store day bargains, while others trotted along later and took their pick of what was left, while others just didn’t bother at all!

We ended up with a “diverse evening’s entertainment ranging from Rammstein to Spacemen 3 to early Adam and the Ants to, umm, Baccara (it seemed like a good idea at the time!)” as one fella posted on Facebook.

Yes sir, we sure can boogie!

Dreaming Spires, the music of Oxford

From the shoe gazing of Ride, through the melancholy of Radiohead, to the math rock of Foals; Oxford over the years has produced some cracking bands.

Join us on 29th March to discover the result of our Radiohead vote and to hear some Oxford inspired tunes, all of course on Vinyl for your listening pleasure.
