Keighley bands unite tomorrow in Bradford for the latest Boardfest rock festival.

Local music fans shouldn't be too concerned when they realise several of the bands are unfamiliar.

This second gathering of members of Internet community Noseboard features the same musicians in different bands.

Organiser Joe Tilston,(pictured) latterly of Nosebone and now of Random Hand, says last year's festival saw the demise of many original Noseboard bands.

He says: "This has in no way been a bad thing for the local scene. It has raised the standard local gig-goers have come to expect.

"All those band members are still performing in one way or another."

Tomorrow's Boardfest is at the 1-in-12 club, Bradford, from 5pm. Admission to the gig is £5 with a flyer, available from local shops including the Musicians Centre on Station Bridge, Keighley.

The concert will raise money for the official Boardfest II festival, planned for August 30 at Bradford nightclub Pennington.

Tomorrow's line-up in playing order is Tidal Stride, A Destructive Issue, Random Hand, Downfall, Operator 6, and Honeytoad.

Tidal Stride are influenced by U2, Radiohead, Oasis, Embrace, Bush, Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones.

"They provide a great array of original tracks, a wide range of songs to relax and excite," said Joe.

"They take the approach of an indie/rock sound as opposed to the punk and distortion that have become commonplace with young, local bands."

A Destructive Issue brings together members of Leeds bands Dumflux and Cronic, who have played several well-received gigs in Keighley.

This new "post hardcore/emo rock band" take influences from bands like Finch and Thrice.

Keighley's own Random Hand was formed by former members of Noseboard and Flukeshot Frenzy.

Joe says the band's initial happy-go-lucky ska style has evolved into "dark ska" blending The Specials with Rage Against the Machine .

Long-established Leeds band Downfall plays as part of a 26-date tour of the UK promoting its six-track CD Atrofeed.

The trio play emo/alt/punk rock and relaunched themselves this year following a line-up change.

Operator 6 unites members of Deepfill with singer Adam Boycey to play a combination of songs old and new.

"They have widened their influences, and the distinct increase in funk to their sound has increased their respect," says Joe.

Joe believes tomorrow's highlight will be Honeytoad, the biggest surprise of last year's Boardfest with a storming first gig.

Joe says: "Over the past year they have wowed audiences at every gig they have played, upstaging and overshadowing other acts."

Audiences can expect a mix of original material and covers by Alice in Chains, Led Zeppelin, Queens of the Stone Age and Incubus.

nThe B'Eagles say they have an impressive pedigree -- but they're not going to the dogs!

They're a leading tribute band recreating the sound of America's West Coast through the songs of supergroup Eagles.

Tomorrow they bring their two-hour show -- performed more than 200 times a year at home and abroad -- to Glusburn Institute.

The B'Eagles were formed from the nucleus of the Stu Page Band which was renowned for playing in the same country-rock style.

They perform hits such as Hotel California, Take It Easy, Tequila Sunrise, Desperado, Life in the Fast Lane and Take It to the Limit.

The "stunning, polished and professional" show begins at 8pm. Tickets at £8 by phoning 01535 632261.
