We were where the pubs were!
If anyone fancies doing something politically minded for the Saturday, then come to Leeds for this benefit gig:
PS- You can always see Iron Lung etc. in Leeds on the Friday, and then see all the Irish bands in Bradford on the Sunday.
Saturday 2 June 2006 is the third annual "Moncada Rocks" all-day festival at Brudenell Social Club - founded to raise awareness about Cuba, its achievements and its situation, and to raise money for a good Latin American cause of some description.
This year the benefit cause is to raise money for the therapeutic rehabilitation treatment of torture victims in Colombia and for the therapeutic rehabilitation treatment of Colombian children who have seen their parents assasinated in front of them because of their trade union membership.
The treatment programme needs £7,000 to run for another year. Moncada Rocks 2007 aims to raise over £1,000 of that. So far we have raised £400 before the gig has started. The rest will be supplied by trade unions and the NGO "Justice for Colombia".
I'm sure you'll agree that there can be few better causes than this year's cause. Help us to raise the money to make a real difference!
For a 3 minute film on the situation of Colombian Trade Unionists and for an explanation of why we are raising money for the cause we are go to:

Announced already for the gig:
* GUEST SPEAKER - *ARTHUR SCARGILL*
(leader of the National Union of Mineworkers during the 1984/5 strike, one of the most significant figures in British history and without a doubt one of the best public speakers in any country in the world).
* GENTLEMAN'S PISTOLS
(70s style rock on roll - on "Rise Above Records", the record label of Cathedral's Lee Dorrian)
* NARCOSIS
(they say: "Grindcore is punk rock. Dickhead". Calculated Risk records and savage, fast and complex.)
* ATTILA THE STOCKBROKER
(punk rock legend, delivering punk poetry and beered up intelligent songs at their best, all the way from Bristol - or somewhere like that)
* TANGAROA
(technical metal insanity, we all know them)
* KOG
(he stays up late, he rocks hard, the one-man song-writing machine that constructs lyrics that 'hit the nail on the head' about wimmin, politics and rock n' roll and then drives home his message with his geee-tar)
* ROSE
(female vocals and samples and synths and stuff, a bit like Tori Amos but better and from Yorkshire)
* SEVERED HEAVEN
(death metal in the style of Paradise Lost / My Dying Bride when they were both heavier but heavier than both of them still. with growlier vocals)
* ELECTRIC MUD GENERATOR
(they play every year, cos the person who organizes this gig likes them, rock n roll in an epic, proggy style. Alabama Thunderpuppy. )
* AND MORE BANDS TO BE CONFIRMED..............................
£5 or summat in, free programme and special event badge, smoke cigars, drink Cuban and Venezuelan rum, feel embarrassed when your hips don't move properly to Cuban music, plus more surprises planned.

What flights /bus are people thinking of getting? The ole' Eurolines brain-killer bus seems to be the cheapest option, plus it goes straight to Bradford.
Gettin' the ol' red-eye direct to Bradford, then coming back for the Complan gig, then, if I have any money left I'm going to head over to Nottingham. Warhammer World here I come!!!
