Hey...
Good to see you on here. Tell us, what's happening in Leeds? We love the city but obviously not looking in the right places.
Went to a piss poor Brighton Beach night, met some cool people but two decent songs all night, Cock Pit twice. Both a case of spot the mod and indie muppets a go - go.
