Mark Husak, of Bradford music promoters Granadaland, previews Friday night's gig at the Love Apple
Granadaland, featuring The Ending Of, Dinosaur Pile Up, Getoutofcities and Bedroom Gymnastics, is on at Bradford's Midland Hotel tonight.
Headliners The Ending Of are a Manchester-based band who sound a bit like Bloc Party, The Cure and Echo and The Bunnymen and have played live with great bands such as The Maccabees, The Whip, Friendly Fires, Ipso Facto, Bolt Action Five and Good Books.
They have received many accolades from the indie press of late. Radio DJs, too, have been singing the Ending Of's praises. They're not to be missed.
Main support comes from Dinosaur Pile Up, who sound like a chilled-out Herman Dune. They make excellent low-fi indie pop music and their name has cropped up on various ones to watch' lists for 2008.
Local support comes from Bradford bands. Getoutofcities and Bedroom Gymnastics.
