Crow Versus Crow presents UNITED FRUIT | THEE CUSS WORDS | HORSES | Bar Up, Halifax | 10th September 2011

Image credit: Andrew Wild


A massive thank you to everybody involved in making this night what it was; to all the people who came down to support Crow Versus Crow, the bands and DIY music in Halifax - we're seriously grateful to you all; to everyone at Bar Up; to Horses for their Stapleton tee (Matt), incredibly powerful moustache (Adam) and all round good vibes; to Thee Cuss Words for their superior taste in Post-Trousers Polaroid Photographs and all round good vibes; and to United Fruit for being super, super nice guys, playing a cracking set involving a dismantled drum kit and 10+ drummers and all round good vibes.

United Fruit were filming throughout the night, compiling tour footage towards a documentary, erm, documenting to realities of DIY touring, so hopefully one or two pretty Fax faces will make an appearance.

...excellent vibes.

Nice Words from Friends


Andy Elizabeth McNope-Tank has written some nice things about our work on a new blog, Bradford Music Chap, set up to cover musical goings on in the Bradford area.

Although it's currently in it's infancy, the blog will no doubt be a great resource for people looking for reviews, news and listings of DIY events in said part of West Yorkshire area. We at Crow Towers are incredibly supportive of projects such as this which help to link various projects, and encourage a sense of community, in what is a relatively small area with a high proportion of culturally relevant, ethical happenings.

Big thanks go to Andy Abbott for giving us a nod.

UNITED FRUIT | THEE CUSS WORDS | HORSES, Bar Up, Halifax, 10/09/11

Just a quick reminder that the UNITED FRUIT | THEE CUSS WORDS | HORSES gig at Bar Up, Halifax is just shy of a week away - taking place on Saturday 10th September. It's a snip at £4 on the door, with all the proceeds going straight to the bands once we've recovered our meagre expenses (printing costs, sound guy, rider).

Here's a live clip of Horses playing one of their Billy Childish-ish, archetypal pop tunes, 'Kill Me Now' earlier this year...


...and part of the Cuss Words song, 'Fascinator' recorded live at The Harley in Sheffield...


...and finally, United Fruit's big rock, early Manics meets Sonic Youth vibes 'Kamikaze'...


...to whet one's whistle.
