*PROPAGANDA*
INTERVIEWEE KIRSTY ALDERSON
INTERVIEWED BY SOPHIE WILSON
Propaganda is a new indie nightclub event, held on a Saturday night at 02 academy arenas throughout the country, including the Leeds city centre venue, catering for the massive student population. We asked our friend, and Propaganda fan, Kirsty Alderson, all about it...
Q: So, what keeps you going back to Propaganda?
A: The fact that it's such a fun atmosphere. It's really friendly. You end up dancing with the most random people ever. And it's only £4 to get in with your student card!
Q:What sort of music do they play?
A: It's mainly classic Indie, but with some electro, dubstep and house too.
Q: Who would you recommend it to?
A: Anyone into that type of music, or someone that prefers a bigger club with a busy atmosphere.

INTERVIEWEE LUKE O' BRIEN, FORMER DRUM OF BAND 'KYTES'
INTERVIEWED BY CHRIS LAWSON AND SOPHIE WILSON
A relaxing, homely, and fun venue in the centre of Leeds, functioning as both as restaurant/eatery by day, and a live music venue by night, notable for supporting fresh new talent. Our friend, Luke O' Brien, former drummer of the band 'Kytes' performed there in November this year.
Q: How did you approach Nation... to perform there?
A: A guy actually got in touch with us, from Good Folk Promotions, via our facebook page. He thought that we'd make a good support act for the band that night, we had the right "sound".
Q: What sort of respone did you get from the audience?
A: It was good. Most of the people who came were the people we'd bought along though! A nice venue, we really felt at home there.
Q: How did it positively effect you and the band?
A: I suppose it got us into Leeds, it was a good place to play in terms of venue. The most positive effect was that it was our first gig in Leeds. It got us out there.
Q: Do you think Leeds provides good oppurtunities for live bands?
A: Yes, it does. There's so much oppurtunity. There's so many places to play. With the student population being as big as it is, so many people can hear you who wouldn't have otherwise.
Q: Would you recommend Nation...to up and coming bands?
A: Yeah. It's a really nice venue. The staff were really nice to us.
