Led Bib: Bring Your Own
by Bruce Lindsay
Led Bib has never been an easy ensemble to pigeonhole: according to critics and reviewers the band is “punk jazz," free improvisation, avant-garde, skronk, dirty jazz--and, most splendidly, “death-jazz-cum-math-punk." On the evidence of the London-based band's fourth album, Bring Your Own, it's all of the above, and a little bit more. This is music for dancing, ...
Led Bib: Bring Your Own
by Chris May
Writing about Led Bib's Mercury Prize-nominated album, the raucous and confrontational Sensible Shoes (Cuneiform, 2009), Britain's Rupert Murdoch-owned Sun newspaper--which speaks with as much authority about jazz as Murdoch's Fox News speaks about politics--declared: “Led Bib are the band bringing jazz back to contemporary music's cutting edge." A slightly more measured response came from ...

Led Bib: Sensible Shoes
by Jerry D'Souza
An education can be an asset in more ways than one. Drummer/composer Mark Holub formed his band Led Bib in 2003 as part of his M.A. at Middlesex University in London, England. The initial line-up was fluid, settling down to the current one with Liran Donin (bass), Toby McLaren (keyboards), Pete Grogan (saxophone) and Chris Williams ...
Led Bib: Sensible Shoes
by AAJ Italy Staff
I tempi cambiano. Una volta si ascoltavano e si scriveva dei Led Zeppelin, oggi dei Led Bib. A parte il “Led" del nome non c'è però nulla in comune fra le due band. Solo il fatto che ci sono 30 anni più o meno di storia di mezzo. “Scarpe Sensibili" è il bel titolo del rumoristico ...

Led Bib: Sensible Shoes
by Chris May
London quintet Led Bib is one of a succession of new millennial British bands, heralded by the perversely named Acoustic Ladyland--a high decibel punk fury of tenor saxophone, electric keyboards and bass, and drums--who are tearing up the jazz rule book with an enthusiasm which renders the description “iconoclastic" inadequate. While Led Bib's moniker ...
