Another new local release comes from All We Are. This video was unleashed on the world after their well hyped launch at St Brides church in the city center Saturday night.
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…

w/ Deaf Club, Evelyn.Is & Stereo Virgins @ Shipping Forecast
A double blessing came from the Thurlow family. Sisters, Hannah and Colette, aka the 2:54 are play Shipping Forecast tomorrow eve (13.04) down to the local promoters you all know and love, Evol. Shoegazy vibes and XXish tones fill the ear drums with a real contradictory feeling of a laid backness and an on edge feel that takes you by the torso and consumes your miiiiind!!…
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…
The New Caldera| The Restless Venture | The Edwardian Picnic | The Big I Am - @ The Zanzibar – 24/03/12
(Image: The Big I Am)
This is the second Songbook Sessions night I have been to. The first being a thoroughly enjoyable experience and opened my eyes to a few of the more popular bands doing the rounds right now before they had gained their well deserved popularity (The Grande and Ratty Little Fingers being the two that spring to mind). This monthly event is a showcase for singer/songwriters, local and from further afield. Not strictly folk, but there is a certain ‘folkiness’ to the night and an undercurrent present in every one of the bands playing tonight…
@ Shipping Forecast - £6
Household namers, Evol, have done some extra good this bank holiday Monday and decided to give us treat a little sweeter than an Easter Egg…
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!
First off, I only have the CD so I have no idea what all these tracks are called! All I know is Track One is called Glass! So in the situation I have been placed in I have decided to take it upon myself to rename the other tracks Track 2, Track 3 and Track 4. I’m cocky like that…
