Description

Jupiter Falls were formed in June 2013, by September of the same year their debut album was written and recorded. The band self-released "Revolution" in December of the same year to extremely positive reviews far and wide.

It wasn't long before Jupiter Falls were picked up by a leading Management & Booking agency and signed in early 2014. With advice of their management Jupiter Falls pulled their debut release from the shelves and managed to secure world famous Rock icon Roy Z to re-master a brand new recording of the album from his L.A Studio.

In May & June of 2014 Jupiter Falls went on tour with guitar legend Jake E Lee & his new band "Red Dragon Cartel" which saw dates in France including the famous Le Forum in Paris as well as playing his UK dates which kicked off with a stellar performance at the O2 Academy in London.

The band continued for the next year promoting the release of their upcoming album which was finally released on August 10th 2015 to worldwide critical acclaim, even making number 18 on the best albums of the year at www.rarasfarm.com

The band were already well on the way to finishing writing their second album when "Revolution" was released and released a 4 track EP in March of 2016 with two tracks that didn't make the final cut of the album. The "Saints & Sinners" EP contained two brand new tracks, an alternate version of a track from the debut album & a live track also from "Revolution"

The new EP brought the statement "The Finest Underground Band In The UK?" from respected music site www.maximumvolumemusic.com


Description

The Duck & Drake is an historic pub in the centre of Leeds in beautiful West Yorkshire. Expect to find the finest cask ales and some of the tastiest live music anywhere in the city!

A fine example of a two-roomed Victorian corner pub retaining some original features. Wood-floored throughout and some of the floorboards have survived two hundred years of trade.

The central bar with fifteen handpumps sits in between and serves both rooms.

There is live music most nights from a small stage in the corner of the front room, which also features a mural on the back wall depicting many blues and rock legends and is decorated with various music memorabilia.

The pub has existed under several different names including THE HORSE & GROOM & THE BROUGHAM'S ARMS. During the second world war Broughams had a reputation for being a place where women would meet and entertain American GI’s. It wasn't until 1985 - while the pub was under the care of landlord Les Moon - that the name changed to The Duck & Drake. Though the present name is represented in the form of waterfowl it actually refers to the pastime of skimming stones on water called “ducks & drakes”.

Parking is often tricky... There is an NCP car park quite close by but it closes bang on 11pm - so if the bands still rocking - your car may get locked in!
