An Afternoon of Indie LEEDS (Over 30s), 3pm-7pm

A DJ-led afternoon of indie records at The Backroom in Leeds, with Feeling Gloomy and Old School Indie playing tracks from the 1970s through to the early 2000s. Age Against The Machine joins as a co-host.

An Afternoon of Indie is a DJ session built around indie classics from several decades. Feeling Gloomy and Old School Indie DJs play the records, drawing on 1970s punk, 1980s new wave, 1990s Britpop and early 2000s indie. The playlist names artists such as David Bowie, Pulp, The Clash, The Jam, The Cure, Joy Division, The Stone Roses, The Smiths, New Order, The Strokes, Radiohead and Pixies, with the odd bit of rock and roll, soul, northern soul and ska included.

The afternoon is co-hosted with Age Against The Machine, and the material shows that the sessions are DJ sets rather than live band performances. Because the playlist covers a wide span of years, it offers a single afternoon of records from different eras of guitar pop and punk.

The Backroom is the Leeds venue hosting the event, and it hosts concerts and shows in the city.
