On November 28th come to Leeds Holy Trinity Church where you can witness a performance by The Declining Winter alongside Songs of Green Pheasant, Lanterns on the Lake and Michael Rossiter. There will be visuals and dj's and you can bring your own refreshments. The usual apologies to those not near Leeds. There are plans afoot to attempt to document the night in some way, visually, audio(ly) or however.

Hood's final album (for the moment) is now available at the low low price of £4.99 via any record shop that wish to order it. Norman Records have it here. and also 'Rustic Houses, Forlorn Valleys'

A spellbinding music documentary exploring ‘post-rock’, the term coined by the influential Wire magazine to describe a diverse set of groundbreaking artists who emerged in the 1990s, hitherto defying all categorization. Featuring great live footage of bands like Mogwai, Tortoise, Low and Mouse on Mars and interviews with underground music icons like Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth, Ira Kaplan of Yo la Tengo and Jason Pierce of Spiritualized, Introspective creates a fascinating overview of alternative music in the last 20 years. As we haven't seen it yet we can't confirm Hood feature in it but we are mentioned on the posters and pics of the band are on the promotion blurb! Showing at the Leeds International Film Festival on November 5th.
