Indies Only

Indies Only brings four local acts to The Vinyl Whistle in Headingley on Friday 23 October. It's a night of indie and alternative from around the city, with Hydeout, Momma Bear, Eliah and Grace Stott sharing the bill.

Hydeout are an up-and-coming indie rock band who cross classic and psychedelic rock with a modern twist. Momma Bear are a Leeds alternative rock band blending heavy guitars and soaring vocals with midwest emo. Eliah is a 21-year-old bedroom singer-songwriter from Durham now based in Leeds, whose sound mixes pop, indie-pop and folk around self-discovery and heartbreak. Grace Stott is a North East singer-songwriter and pianist also based in Leeds, whose indie pop ballads draw on her classical background and on artists like Lizzie McAlpine, Billie Eilish and Maddie Zahm.

The Vinyl Whistle is a record shop and online store in Headingley that also serves coffee, draught beer, spirits and wine. It runs weekly Open Decks sessions open to the public alongside in-store performances by local and popular bands, workshops and talks.

Doors open at 7pm and tickets are £7. There are no printed tickets; entry is by email order confirmation.
