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.

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.

Crow Versus Crow presents... #7

Crow Versus Crow presents...

United Fruit | Thee Cuss Words | Horses

Saturday 10th September 2011

Crow Versus Crow are very proud to present, for the seventh in the '...presents...' series of events at Bar Up,  HORSES, THEE CUSS WORDS and UNITED FRUIT.

Horses.



Fuzzed-out, no-guff rock'n'roll in the vein of Japanther, Coachwhips, Thee Oh Sees, Spector's early Crystals/Ronettes hits, yadda, yadda, yadda...

Darryl Peat EP was released on cassette by Manchester label Bright // Tomorrow earlier this year (BUY IT!). A digital version of the EP is being given away for free here.

Thee Cuss Words.

You know the score...

Thee Cuss Words - Fascinator by Anthonygdli


United Fruit.

Peddling discordant, melodic, BIG rawk that smells a bit like Shellac, Mcklusky, ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead, Sonic Youth... Glasgow's United Fruit join us on their second stint spreading the good word about the band's debut, self-released, album Fault Lines. Listen and purchase here.

Along with awesome bands, you can expect CVC visuals and music continuing until 2am. Trains run towards both Manchester and Leeds until way past the live music curfew (11pm), so there isn't an excuse not to come. Not one! All proceeds from the night will go directly to the bands, and as always we've made the fee on the door as cheap as we possibly can, whilst hoping to cover our expenses. Come support a developing DIY live music scene - a gosh darn good cause, if ever I heard of one.
