September's edition of The Wagon's Wheels brings something a little different to the usual with an eclectic mix of psychedelica, indie and alt-country. Joining us will be local boys Plush & Plastix, Wakefield's Shakeshudder and more Songs From The Hopper Ward. Doors open at 8pm and entry is just £3.
***PLUSH & PLASTIX***
"Plush and Plastix were originally a club curcuit double act.Famous locally only inside their heads, they toured the fair lands of south yorkshire in search of warm cyder with ice on top and cheap mobile discohalls, hawking their lush skiffle to any muther lover who was suppin ale at the local working man's club.
Many minutes passed into the past and the P+P boys grew weary of their escapades, fat with lager and wrinkled with fags they crept and crawled up to the attic and slept for a thousand seconds. Whilst asleep the two visionaries dreamed a shared dream of a land where no one was held by the shackles of supermarkets and everyone lived a fair ol' life of ease.....
...When they awoke the room was dark, except for the glow of a single green LED eminating from the corner of the room. Once pressed, like a little green on/off button, a shard of light 3000 times the size of your average shard exploded into vision. The room was aglow with a billion different colours and noises and when the static finally hummed to a halt there it was...the majesticaly stanced monolith otherwise known as "Paul", who played the bass upside down with his left hand and all that, emerged from the fuzz.
With months of training and physical movement the amazing "Paul" soon whipped the boys into shape and into a frenzy! They honored him with the title..."The Earl"..and worshipped him with secret strongbow showers, star jumps and late night karaoke sessions in Joe's front room.
One sunny sunday afternoon a knock came at the attic door and a strange sound could be heard through the smoke and fumes rising above the dirge in the room."What could it be?" thought the gang"What is this sound monster?where did i put my can?" A dark silhouette, as they tend to be dark, swayed before them..."I am Mr Jiggs"the sound said,.."I have been sent from my house to save you all from the depths of this status quo style boogie woogie and into the light of the future."
The fray of giggles and analogue farts could be heard meters and meters afar for years and years to come and the lads shone with a sheen never before gained by any oils previously known to mankind upon application.
And so it was ,..And so it shall be"
A Psychedelic mish mash of indie guitar and pop sounds. No historical inaccuracies were harmed in the compilation of this preview.

***SHAKESHUDDER***
Born from the ashes of another old favourite of ours, the Whiskey Dogs, Russ & Tom have found themselves a new drummer and now perform under the name Shakeshudder. With a new more indie/rock sound, their anthemic tunes have been proving popular with music fans in Leeds and Manchester where they already have a string of gigs under their belt. They've also been keeping themselves busy in the studio, where they recently completed new EP 'Pound For Pound'.
"a powder keg of explosive energy, indie pop/rock tunes that you could imagine throwing yourself round a late night dancefloor to"

***SONGS FROM THE HOPPER WARD***
With our old friends The Hopper Ward on INDEFINITE hiatus, frontman Mick joins us for his solo take on some of their works. An engaging perfomer more than capable of holding a crowd whilst flying solo.
Influenced by the classic songwriters of the 60's and 70's, American folk, rocksteady, psychedelia and Yorkshire Tea, these aren't your avergae pop songs. The band's 'Trigger EP' found favour with BBC Radio's Steve Lamacq, and the stripped down versions will find equal favour with you.
"A Brilliant blend of acoustic gold and lonesome melodies"

"Teeming with individualsim and creativity. The vocals melt and swoon, like the classic voices such as Johnny Cash"
