Chickenhawk’s favourite videos

Adebisi Shank - (live in Tokyo)

I once was fortunate to catch these in some grimy basement in Hyde Park, Leeds and I've been stumped as to how they pull it off so well live since. Their new material is equally awesome too. I'm sure the guitarist was in the hit show 'River Dance' previously to AS.

Kong - 'Leather Penny'

Good friends of ours. We toured with these fucking idiots last year and it was one of the best experiences of my life. This video kind of sums them up for musical ability, clever song arrangement and just for being the morons they are proud of.

Take A Worm For A Walk Week - 'Snuffelupagus'

Having played with these guys for years, I've seen them evolve and push themselves to what can only be described as 'the brink of chaos'. It seems no matter how loaded Johnny gets on stage, they never disappoint. Keep your eyes out for the new material on its way.

Blacklisters - 'Hero Of China'

"Best Jesus Lizard covers band in Leeds" (sorry lads, had to get that one in). Heavily influenced by real dirge/grunge rock like Qui, Rapeman, Shellac etc, and none of all this current watered down crap out there. If I had to give you some advice about these, it would be to take off your belt and leave it at home before drinking with them (see the track 'Belt Party' for reference).

PVT (previously Pivot) - 'Window'

One of my new favourites, well since their last album really, but this video is wicked and gives a new perspective from a bands point of view whilst rehearsing / playing live. I love this track, shame I keep missing them live....maybe one day.

Chickenhawk's new album Modern Bodies will be released November 1st on Brew.
