ESP / Expression She Pulled Fanzine - can you help?

From 1990-1998 I wrote and produced a Leeds based fanzine, first called The Expression She Pulled, before shortened to simply, ESP Fanzine. It ran for 24 issues and was sold in record shops around the West Yorkshire area as well as Manchester, Glasgow and London. It was also available on mail order via NME classifieds and received positive reviews in Record Collector.

Here are some front covers.

I am trying to locate 5 missing issues. Issues 2, 5, 11, 17 and 18. If you can help please contact me or like my page @ www.facebook.com/espfanzine

RSG club band spotlight: The James Dean Syndrome

>>> The hip-groove-setting-cats that are The James Dean Syndrome put the 'hip' in Hip To The Trip.

These wildcats have plenty of mojo that not even Sgt. Pilcher himself could raid. From the heavy bass lines to the cream filled guitar licks and not forgetting the dandy drum beats, the Jimmy Deans have an arsenal so suave (in which any 'grunts' plodding through the Vietnamese 'boonies' would give their last pouch of 'Mary Jane' for) they could take on the Viet-Cong.

If your waiting for that new sound that hits you faster than a Porsche 550 Spyder then Jimmy Deans rhythm 'n' blues infected beats to their pysche-acoustic explosion will blow your mind.

So if your a would-be-hip fortysomething or a tree-huggin peacenik tune in, turn on and drop out to The James Dean Syndrome.

The James Dean Syndrome play @ RSG on Feb 28th 2008.

RSG club band spotlight : Delmonica

Spotlight on one of the bands playing RSG this month....

Delmonica as a band has existed for a couple of years, growing and evolving. In one of their earlier incarnations the musical leaning was towards Detroit punk, New York garage & Motown, but the eclectic musical tastes of the band has resulted in the current line up and sound taking a more refined yet lo-fi twist.

The feel is retro, but still fresh. The current line up of Delmonica came into existence after a chance meeting of two old friends at a Love gig in Leeds, and an advert in the NME.

Over the past twelve months, locked away in a rehearsal studio, the band set about generating a completely new set, taking inspiration from artists such as Love, The Beach boys, The Byrds, Bob Dylan and the Kinks.

Drummer, Neil and Bassist, John are the longest standing members of the band and have played together in several bands, developing an understanding that is rarely achieved. The two guitarists Dave and Andy bounce off of each other with a chemistry that adds a rich texture and melody to the solid backdrop of the rhythm section, and on top off all this are the vocals. Scott leads the vocal line with confidence not arrogance but too much swagger to shoe gaze, and the backing vocals layer up harmonies resulting in tones reminiscent of the Beach Boys.

Delmonica are playing live on Friday Feb 29th 2008 as part of the Ready Steady Go club night.
