1000mods

1000mods is a Greek heavy rock band whose riff-led songs have reached live audiences across Europe, the UK, the US and Australia. They play this concert at the Brudenell Social Club in Leeds, with Margarita Witch Cult also on the bill.

The band formed in 2006 and have released five albums. Their early records, Super Van Vacation (2011) and Vultures (2014), draw on stoner rock, followed by Repeated Exposure to... (2016), a rock'n'roll album with an overdriven sound, and Youth of Dissent (2020), which moved towards alt-rock. Their music blends heavy rock and psychedelic traditions with 1970s influences and a gritty modern edge, and it carries metal and punk influences.

Their latest album, Cheat Death (2024), is described as their heaviest to date, containing ten songs. The band have played a long run of shows abroad and at festivals including Hellfest, Resurrection Fest, Desertfest, Rockwave Festival and Freak Valley Festival. Their approach to performance is built on loud riffs, a DIY ethos and a no-frills attitude.

Brudenell Social Club is a concert and performance venue in the Burley area of Leeds. The evening suits listeners who follow heavy rock, and Margarita Witch Cult appear alongside 1000mods on the bill.
