Western Dance, one of Bradford’s most popular bands from the 1980s, are reforming.

They will play a one-off gig to mark the band’s 30th anniversary at the city’s Underground on November 25.

The four-piece indie rock outfit regularly packed Bradford venues such as Queen’s Hall, Bradford University and the Royal Standard between 1986 and 1989.

They also took their catchy power-pop indie sound to prestigious venues in Leeds, Manchester, Sheffield and London, and were contemporaries of bands like Psycho Surgeons, Happiness Ad, Harleqyn and Ghost Dance

On one occasion they were supported by the up-and-coming Inspiral Carpets.

Western Dance, whose influences include The Clash, David Bowie and the new wave/

punk bands of the late seventies, released their cassette EP Give Me The Moonlight in 1986.

Western Dance’s eye-catching posters and stickers become a fixture around Bradford. Hundreds of sales at gigs and in local shops financed the release of their debut single What Does It Take? in 1987, which was reviewed in the NME.

The November 25 gig will feature support by Plastic Letters and other guests.
