Upcoming gig(s): Monday 4th June

Ok! So SJI are playing twice(!) on the 4th June. We're starting the day at the extremely funky Hoult's Yard opening for Leeds' finest - the legendary CUD. This will be quite the do, starting in the afternoon with barbeques, DJs and acoustic sets before moving on to the main event in the evening.
More details Here.

We then skedaddle about a mile up the road to everyone's favourite independent volunteer-run venue The Star and Shadow Cinema, where we're thrilled to be opening for the godfather of DIY self-released music, and cover star of this month's WIRE: the magnificent R. Stevie Moore. More details Here.

Both of these are likely to be sell-outs, so get in early and buy your tickets in advance!
