Alpha Male Tea Party chose to hold their album launch in the Caledonia pub, or more specifically a tiny little room above the pub. It did get a bit cramped towards the end of the night but the intimate atmosphere that resulted was more than worth it.[[MORE]]

Scarlet Tone at San Tracuba – 12/04/2012
(Image: Andy Cowen by Scarlet Tone)
I don’t mean it as an insult when I say that Scarlet Tone is not exactly unique. You can go to just about any city in the country, from London to Manchester, Birmingham to Leeds, and I guarantee you can find nights just like it when you get there – provided you know where to look. Up and down the country people are...

Review: Silent Cities Review @ Leaf - 28.03.12
Below my feet the sounds of a busy bar were muffled, a reminder that the world outside was still there. Something had to be there otherwise the sound of Silent Cities would have made the audience forget something else existed outside of this intimate venue. Simon Maddison, singer/songwriter took to the stage first, in what was going to be a demonstration in what the Liverpool folk scene had to...

Interview: Lu Lou & the Boy
I met the band in Lucy’s sunny flat, where they were also being filmed as part of a Liverpool Music Scene documentary. The self proclaimed Tarantino meets Disney trio filled their little practice room with the sound of a new song, but that’s all I can tell you because it’s still a secret! In the following interview we find out a little about their past and their aspirations for...

Review: Gold Soundz @ Kazimer -16.03.12 | Preview: Gold Soundz @ Kazimer -13.04.12
Last month, a new night opened at the Kazimier – Gold Soundz. It promised to be an alternative club night, playing classic indie, rock and pop from the 80s and 90s. It could be perceived by some as a night run by those on the scene for those in the know, but I was keen to make it down, partly to support friends...
