Smashed it.

Huge thanks to Every Hell, As Living Arrows & .band for their amazing sets last night. They were mighty times.

Thank you to Chloe & the team at Santiago Bar, Leeds for hosting us & looking after us and to Tom for fighting through adversity and delivering an awesome job on sound.

And, of course, thank you to everyone who came along, packed out the room and supported the bands, the venue and the night. Legends. We’ll be sharing our fancy dress winner shortly.

That was our last show of 2026 but we’ll be announcing a few ace shows this week to start 2027 with a bang so watch this space.*

*Don’t literally watch THIS space. That would be pointless - you’ve already read it. Maybe even several times. Watch the new space that will appear here in the future. That’s the one to be looking at. Well done, everybody.

Speak of the Devil, it’s Every Hell! 🔥 Hail Satan 🎷
