AMPLIFY

AMPLIFY is a student-led gig showcasing queer and female-led bands at Wharf Chambers. For fans of indie and alternative rock, shoegaze, and riot grrrl.

Featuring:

Junk - Junk are a nu-gaze band who always aim to subvert expectations with each live performance. They thrive in creating pedalboard-soaked soundscapes with haunting melodies and punchy drums.

Woke Nonsense - here to spread the feminist agenda through a blend of riot grrrl, shoegaze, and prog-punk frustrations. Upbeat, energetic, and loud, they encourage the crowd to dance and express their anger.

Jeanpool - a Leeds-based band turning indie rock lesbian, one song at a time!

Wharf Chambers is a members' club and you must be a member or guest of a member to attend. Joining costs £2. See https://wharfchambers.org/memb... 

This event operates under Wharf Chambers’ Safer Spaces Agreement. Discrimination or harassment of any kind will not be tolerated - this is a space for community and enjoying live music. Read the full agreement here: https://wharfchambers.org/safer-spaces/

AMPLIFY forms part of a University of Leeds research project exploring experiences of safety and belonging for queer communities within live music. There will be optional surveys available on the night about audience experiences of safer spaces in Leeds’ music scene and at this event.
