The Pattern Theory

The Pattern Theory were originally founded in Leeds, England in 2006 by Carl Schilde, Lukas Creswell-Rost and James Yates. After the release of our first EP, "EP1", we set out on a nationwide UK tour in September 2007. Tracks from this EP have been played on BBC's Radio One and on stations in the USA, Australia and Germany. This has led us to higher-scale gigs, such as playing together with Damo Suzuki (Can) and supporting American bands such as The Drift and Icy Demons in Germany. James also plays drums in The Declining Winter.

Sky Larkin

Sky Larkin are Katie Harkin (vocals and guitar), Doug Adams (bass) and Nestor Matthews (drums).
Formed in Leeds, Yorkshire, Sky Larkin began life with long time friends and school mates Katie and Nestor rehearsing in bedrooms and garages before adding Doug to their ranks. From then on, their ascent has been rapid and exhilarating. Refusing to be musically pigeonholed or viewed as a provincial concern, there’s a timeless, international scope to their music, echoing the likes of The Breeders, Violent Femmes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and more.
