The inconvenient  truth is that we were finding it almost impossible to do the festival justice at a venue as large as the Leeds Met University, the guys at the venue have been great, just isn&#8217;t meant to be. The good news it that we&#8217;re decamping to The Brudenell Social Club  for 2012, yey!</p> <p class="MsoNormal">The vast majority of the original line-up remain in place and we&#8217;re pleased to announce that <a href="http://www.facebook.com/arielpinkshauntedgraffiti" target="_blank">Ariel Pink</a>, <a href="http://www.modularpeople.com/artists/kindness/2841.html" target="_blank">Kindness</a>, <a href="http://www.facebook.com/haimtheband" target="_blank">Haim</a>, <a href="http://www.facebook.com/hoodedfangmusic?fref=ts" target="_blank">Hooded Fang</a> and <a href="http://swimminglessonsmusic.com/Swimming_Lessons.html" target="_blank">Swimming Lessons</a> will be joined by <a href="http://www.facebook.com/paleseas" target="_blank">Pale Seas</a>, <a href="http://www.facebook.com/SaintLouLou" target="_blank">Saint Lou Lou</a>, <a href="http://www.wehavepaws.com/splash" target="_blank">PAWS</a> and <a href="http://www.facebook.com/SaintLouLou" target="_blank">Cheatahs</a>. Original tickets are still valid for the new venue but please note doors will now be opening at 13:00.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">So, goodbye to the Met Uni, we hardly knew thee but awesome new venue and new new bands to boot, easy come, easy go. We&#8217;ll be posting full stage times up very soon xoxo</p></p>http://www.constellationsfestival.com/post/34237002695http://www.constellationsfestival.com/post/34237002695Wed, 24 Oct 2012 17:55:00 +0100twocolumn<iframe width="400" height="300" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/KKN4R_avUb8?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p><span>Pale Seas craft beautifully refined songs with elegant harmonies. Like a night fire whilst it rains outside, there’s a richness and subtle grandeur to their sound. The scintillating guitars and melancholic vocals contain a certain sparkle and charm, taking you deeper into their enchanting world with each and every listen.

In fact, the disparity between the seasons and climates infuses everything about the music made by twins Elektra and Miranda Kilbey, the pair splitting their time between the crisp winters of Sweden and the balmy summers of Australia. </span></p>http://www.constellationsfestival.com/post/34237031972http://www.constellationsfestival.com/post/34237031972Wed, 24 Oct 2012 17:55:00 +0100twocolumn<iframe width="400" height="225" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/AfOSCflq5VM?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p>PAWS have just released their awesome debut album Cokefloat on Fatcat records after a string of self released singles and EPs. It’s a blur of lo-fi, buzzing, guitar riffs and cathartic song-writing and is crazy good. They’re also pretty powerful live.
