When style guides break jokes...

Nice work, whoever was responsible for subbing what is probably the most well known joke about binary numbers ever:

There are 2 types of sub: those who stick to style, change 10 to ten and f up this joke and those who don't #timeout pic.twitter.com/0YS5QpjQKP

MY REWRITE - "Stephen Malkmus and The Jicks were back in Leeds for the first time since the millennium to promote their sixth studio album - 'Wig Out At Jigbags.'

Initially, the band did sound dated but they shined after a couple of tracks because they blended several styles within a single song. Despite this intricacy, the set relaxed the audience too well, and the lack of crowd movement was something that bothered the band. Whilst they encouraged their fans to dance, they didn't feed their energy through their performance - the tracks chosen simply didn't inspire people to dance or jump. 

Maybe that is just the lazy January vibe? But people, appreciate their instrumental tangents!

Confident, Stephen Malkmus and The Jicks continue to show that they love perfoming live and how they ultimately have nothing to prove.

Jonna Gruesome, a group of students bored of university, also came along for the ride and you can hear the good that practicing has done for their music. Developing the genre, the band added a fresh perspective to the punk rock style by blending elements of rock into their sound. The audience recognised their energy - the fact that no one ran away is a testament to how well they incorporate radical elements with ease. A decent, live band."

MY REWRITE -  "'Classic-electronic doghouse' is the genre that Clean Bandit have aligned themselves with, which essentially translates to mean that the band are electronic music at its finest. Each of their three singles have visited the UK top 100 over the past two years and that is even without releasing a full album. [They secured their first UK number on Jan. 26 2014 with 'Rather Be.'] Although they have recently been supporting Bastille, tonight they headline their own gig at Leeds' Cockpit.

Here with them from London is singer Rainy Milo, a lady who fills the room despite only being supported by a drum and a backing track. The audience was addicted to her voice, which was versatile enough to easily translate both soft and gritty tracks. Although partially resolved by the set's variety, unfortunately her music was occasionally too relaxed for a live gig. Whilst 'Bank Robber' disputes this somewhat, it is perhaps fair to say that Rainy Milo is a stronger recording artist.  

Conversely, Clean Bandit had an amazing vibe on stage. Even when Neil (Violin) and Grace (Cello) weren't playing, they danced as hard as the most dedicated of us. The atmosphere also benefited from the connection between the vocalists who were supporting the band - they assimilated with the group perfectly. However, a little more effort should have instead been invested into their live mix ... but we should probably forgive them because they gave us new track 'Up Again.'    Obviously, 'Mozart's House', 'Dust Clears' and 'Legendary' were the highlights - all the hits! Not only did these songs translate well live, but they adopted a new persona. Tonight, we heard more emotion and intensity than in their recorded counterparts. Lets not give them too much credit mind, we could just blame our dodgy headphones... but their two covers, one being 'Robin S's 'You Got To Show Me Love' , were astounding though. Damn. 

Clean Bandit definitely earnt a deserved encore, something which not every new band is due. Please go see them loads and dance until your feet fall off!"
