Pulled Apart By Horses are one of Leeds’ best loved bands, and playing alongside
The Cribs at their epic Millennium Square show tonight (July 22nd) isn’t the only exciting thing they have on their calendar: they’ve just finished a new album, too - as the band's James Brown explains, from his local pub no less.
So - you’re playing The Cribs’ huge show in Leeds. How did you get involved?
The Jarman boys took us out on for a few gigs last year and we’ve known them for a while now being local lads and all that. We had such a good time playing with them on tour, big boy bonding. They mentioned something about a big Leeds show back in 2015 and we obviously said we’d be more than interested in joining them live again but didn’t really know what kind of a show it would be. Was so chuffed for them to hear it was going to be on Millennium Square though.
Have you played the Millennium Square before?
No, I reckon its the only place we haven’t played in Leeds now actually. I think it holds about 8,000 people or something crazy and I can’t think of a better setting for a rock gig out in the summer sun in the centre of Leeds. Getting quite giddy about this one already.
Do you have anything special planned for the gig? It sounds like it’s going to be an event to remember.
The past few months have been pretty intense for us, we’ve been working super hard and not had chance to think about it until the past couple of days. I’m sure we’ll inject some kind of surprise into it and we’ve definitely all agreed that we’ll play some new material at this show. Hands down the gig of the year in Leeds for 2016 this one.
