TWO AMAZING GIGS AT THE 1 IN 12, BRADFORD THIS WEEK

Two amazing gigs at the 1 in 12 Club this week. You guys should try and make at least one of them!

THEORETICAL GIRL - Wed 16th Sept, 8pm, £4

Theoretical girl is Amy Turnnidge from Southend On Sea, a place that produced an amazing scene which includes The Horrors, These New Puritans and Ipso Facto. She plays dark pop music influenced by goth and 6o's girl groups and has played with the likes of Maximo Park, Good Shoes and Kate Nash. Its a pleasure to have her stop by and play in Bradford.

Support comes from one man pop machine Napoleon IIIrd, Swede like popsters Just Handshakes (We're British) and Bradford hopefuls Minus Jack.

SPODNI PRADLO - Thu 17th Sept, 8pm, £4

It is sad news indeed that Spodni Pradlo, Bradford's most promising band, are spliting up. They have had a great innings and have played with Wild Beasts, Mae Shi, No Age and Lightspeed Champion. Not even offers from record labels could tempt them to stay together. This will be the last chance to see this world, dance pop machine and it will be a gig of mixed emotions.

Support comes from Pat Dawson and Biscuithead and The Biscuit Badgers.

The Band who are signed to the amazing Secretly Canadian have been receiving critical acclaim of late and their debut EP was produced by Secret Machine's Brandon Curtis. This show is gonna be crazy!

Support comes from our good friends Spodni Pradlo who are firing on all cylinders at the moment.

SPODNI PRADLO @ MONSTER MASH UP HALLOWEEN PARTY!

Last night we threw a Halloween Party @ The Love Apple, Bradford. In attendance was Peter Pan & his foe Captain Hook, Alex from Clockwork Orange, the twins from The Shining and other A list celebs. Headlining The Party were Spodni Pradlo with DJ sets from BD1 LiVe, Le Tournoi, The Uppercut Club and of course us, Good Form Club.

All the cool kids in Bradford and Leeds have heard of Spodni Pradlo but for those not in the know here goes it: SP are a a motley crew of seven intelligent teenagers who fuse music from all 4 corners of the world with perfect indie pop. They play Sax, ukulele, Clarinet, Bass, Drums, Guitar and Trumpet. Think Beirut, Mr Scruff, Los Campesinos, Mahala Rai Band, Mystery Jets and some more. They got that vibrant energy and are the perfect party band who make an interesting racket.

The winner of the fancy dress competition was a woman, tree ghost thing (we don't even know what it was). Runners up were a CCTV camera and a cowboy (Clint Eastwood or Brokeback Mountain we didn't know).
