The Cassandra Complex

Venue : Old Woollen

Date : Sat 23 Nov

Fascinated by drum machines, synthesisers, and computerised rhythms, but unlike most other bands of the time, they also wanted distorted guitars over the top. And so industrial rock music was born… When the band released their second single, Moscow Idaho in 1985, it quickly soared to the top of the indie charts all over the world, got played to death on alternative radio stations, and influenced an entire generation of bands to come. They followed the success of Moscow Idaho with a trilogy of classic albums: Grenade, Hello America, and many fans’ all-time favorite, Theomania.

The Old Woollen is a 500 capacity venue in Farsley, Leeds. It is a collaboration between Trouble at Mill and Farsley's Sunny Bank Mills, and is twinned with The Constitutional.

The venue is set within a 20,000 sq. ft., 4 story building dating back to 1830.
