Local quartet, The Fall Of Kings, today (30.04) released their official video for my personal long time set highlight, TALL ARMY! The video features a montage of live footage the band from gigs the guys have been rocking out at. Enjoy…
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.
So there it is. It’s been and gone. An incredible night that lived up to and surpassed all expectations!! The GIT Awards! The line up was incredible and the diversity shown on stage in terms of genres, styles and personalities was amazing. It’s great to the city showcased in such a way…

Scarlet Tone at San Tracuba – 12/04/2012

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 gathering in quiet pubs somewhere between the city centres and the suburbs and listening to the local talent ply their trade on acoustic guitars…

Harvest Sun presents alt indie poppers, Sea of Bees. Creation of musical mastermind, Julie Ann Bee, Sea of Bees give indie an easier more fun poppy edge with their simple structured songs and enjoyable vocals…
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 offer…
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 the future. Enjoy!
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 but also out of curiosity and an interest in seeing something different on the musical landscape. I was early and the venue was pretty empty but it quickly got busy and as time wore on, any scenester fears dissolved. Overall, it felt like one of the most inclusive and welcoming nights of many I’ve been to at the Kazimier…
Los Campesinos + Tall Ships + Vasco da Gama @ Liverpool O2 Academy
LOS CAMPESINOS, with their merry-go-round of members, are in Liverpool tonight to showcase material from their new album ‘Hello Sadness’. There’s a decent turnout for the darlings of the UK twee-pop scene, but VASCO DA GAMA’s 7:30pm slot means they can only count on modest support…
IF… I were to say ManGone had a double stage in Liverpool’s city centre. And IF… I were to say I was going to fill them both with some of ManGone’s favourite bands. Aaaaaand IF!… I were to say it was going to be the biggest live music birthday bash this city had ever seen… would anyone want to come?
Purely hypothetical of course…

It’s no secret that Fieldhouse are one of Liverpool’s top bands. With slots on the line ups to be on and playing the venues that the venues to play at the guys have worked thee way up the local food chain. Today is a big day in the Fieldhouse calendar as they release their new 5 track EP, ‘This Is Blitzkreig’, on Itunes and Spotify.

After a solid performance from The Albany back in January at The Zanzibar I’ve had the opportunity to dig a little deeper into the raucous mix of genres and influences that fuel their sound. We talked through the band’s roots and progression, from sunglassed drunken failure to dazzling success. Though they’ve yet to see their name in lights, they certainly have come a long way in their time on stage and off…
