Amongst those appearing on the opening Friday are iconic PZYK names TRÄD, GRÄS OCH STENAR, LOOP, THE BUG vs DYLAN CARLSON, LAETITIA SADIER and GNOD, alongside a first festival curation from CASTLE FACE RECORDS. New line-up additions A PLACE TO BURY STRANGERS are joined on Saturday by Zamrock pioneers W.I.T.C.H., JANE WEAVER, ADRIAN SHERWOOD, WOLF PEOPLE, WHITE MANNA and SEX SWING.
Tickets for Friday (£40) and Saturday (£50) day go on sale at 9am on Friday 28 July from liverpoolpsychfest.com. Weekend tickets can still be purchased now.
Our annual Musings In Drone conversations programme, cinema curations, virtual reality and installations programmes will be announced in the coming weeks.

We’re overjoyed to be welcoming some additional guests to our PZYK 2017 Congregation, all of whom contribute to making this year’s festival a pan-continental voyage of discovery. New York Scree architects A PLACE TO BURY STRANGERS (Saturday) bring their wall of noise assault to the PZYK tumult. The Brooklyn trio are currently on tour with The Black Angels, the tension of their noise and chaos a perfect counterbalance to the Texans’ reverb-soaked hooks.
Californian trio L.A. WITCH bring their neon-lit fusion of garage rock and dream pop to Friday’s line-up, while Swedes DEAD VIBRATIONS unleash their storm of angst-ridden guitar work on Saturday.

SPQR – ” Plink “

Coming from Liverpool, you’d be right to sigh and think “oh not another merseybeat act”. But with SPQR it couldn’t be further away from that very presumption. The three-piece band play what is in essence punk but mixed with an art-rock ethic. They aren’t a simple punk-rock outfit. Live they don’t hold back either, bring an explosive dynamic on stage, with frontman Peter Harrison being known to release his emotions in one way or another.

This second single from Liverpool Alt-Rock/Art Rock band S.P.Q.R,
and the first on the Elevant Music LTD label.

Following the first single, Talking To The Dead, Plink delves into a deeper, more sombre realm as it explores a very particular ‘Deal with Death’.

ZUZU – ” Get Off “

Zuzu: “I like trying out new material on the cats…”

’Get Off’ is one of the most addictive songs we’ve heard in a long time. It must be difficult for these Liverpudlian indie sorts to know how to follow this level of greatness. It’s their only song out and it could go one of two ways once the next single comes out. Hopefully they’ve got a myriad more this great. The quickest way to find out will be to catch them live at The Lexington in Angel, London on 10th January.

It’s still early days for the 22-year-old artist, but on her debut single she’s proved that she’s as exciting as they come. Blurring sun-smooched guitars with silvery harmonies, the serrated wit of Courtney Barnett, and mountains of pep, Zuzu‘s first offering has all the ingredients for brilliance.

CLEAN CUT KID – ” 20 Years From Now “

Posted: December 8, 2016 in MUSIC
Tags: , ,

Clean Cut Kid: Having just smashed CMJ, Liverpool's Clean Cut Kit is on track to break into the big leagues of indie-stardom. The band combine the preppy harmonies of Vampire Weekend and the melodic mastery of Paul Simon. With their limited discography it still feels like they haven't even begun to delve into the vast depths of potential this band are capable of.

Behind the glitz and the glamour of being in a band is meticulous planning, a punishing life on the road and innumerable hurdles to tackle if you’re seriously up for getting your music heard. So, like Hannibal Smith used to say, “I love it when a plan comes together.” Step forward Clean Cut Kid – Liverpool music’s current A-Team.

A collective who have morphed through various guises but their graft and guile has suddenly resulted in a genuine national buzz that’s seen them picked up by Polydor Records and land national radio and print press.

The story’s made all the more appealing by virtue of them being a *very* good band.

One listen to their opening two tracks and you’re sucked into a world of dirty melodies, infectious harmony hooks, glistening choral swells and reference points including US lo-fi pop, Gayngs and Fleetwood Mac. The latter of which is rather apt, given two of the band, Mike and Evelyn are married. Clean Cut Kid and we are Mike Halls, Evelyn Halls, Ross Higginson and Saul Godman.

FUSS – ” Mother Nature “

One of the more distinctive voices to recently emerge from Liverpool’s effervescent pool of guitar bands are FUSS, a band who, over the past year or so, have seemed both slightly elusive and yet ever-present on every good bill around. David Baddeley (Vocals, Guitar), Tony Dixon (Vocals, Guitar), Karl Byrne (Bass), Cormac Gould (Synths) and Bobby Reardon (Drums) are responsible for FUSS’ signature space-folk sound.

David Baddeley: said  “We have been given quite a few labels, like dream pop, synth pop, psych. I don’t think we necessarily fit into any of them, but when everything is put together it can come off a bit psychedelic. I think that some of the sonic qualities of that genre are definitely there.”

FUSS, have but one track to their name and have just two gigs under their belt but already they’re living up to their name.
Melding West Coast guitar riffs which veer between Nuggets-era psychedelia and darker Brian Jonestown Massacre grooves with fizzing electronica they’re inescapably mining sounds from the past while sounding compelling new.

Better still, they’ve slipped into the burgeoning Liverpool [un]scene of rock and roll noise-makers including Sankofa, and The Vryll Society, Having impressed supporting much-hyped London band Ulrika Spacek at Parr Street’s Studio 2 earlier this month, they’re gearing up for more gigs and recording more music in the coming months.

TRUDY and the ROMANCE – ” Trudy Sounds ” EP

Trudy and the Romance sound like they’re stumbling into greatness, In advance of their preparing to wow our American friends at SXSW next March, This Liverpool trio Trudy and The Romance share a new cut ‘Sandman’, a big blaster track complete with shouty-outy-sing-along driving pop sections and wavy chord progressions that fuse in an off-kilter merging of jangly guitar riffs, beaty drums and the grunge-pop vocals of Oliver Taylor, who veers between growls and high octaves. Ladies and gentlemen, hot off the block it’s the kids that pop your cotton socks off, Trudy baby. Hopeless, romantic Trudy.

Trudy play their first London show on Tuesday the 12th of January at The Old Blue

These nowhere boys will leave you love drunk and weeping into your whiskey. With hollywood-tinged melodies and raucous guitar, they spit grit in the teeth of a Colgate grin. Trudy are comfy in a mix of Doo-Wop, 60s girl groups, The Beach Boys, The Strokes and Jonathan Richman.

Heartbroken ever since his first love frenched another guy, Olly picked up the guitar and began to pen pop tunes. His songs tell of his struggle being mean to women and regretting it later when he is lonely. Olly needed a band. Tipping a trolley full of trash in a strangers digs, Olly met bassist Lewis and before too long he found drums in childhood mucker Brad. They now live together in Liverpool.

‘Baby I’m Blue’ is the latest chuune to be revealed and follows on from mutant 50s pop cuts ‘Behave’ and the frisky debut ‘All My Love’, all three of which are produced and mixed by indie dreamboat Tarek Musa.

http://

“One thing’s for sure – Trudy sound like very little else around now, and they’re poised to mark their own territory”

‘All My Love‘ is so perfectly pitched it’s nigh-on impossible to entertain notions of where it might one day take them”

“Exactly what a young band should be – completely lost in the world they’re creating for each other, obsessed with great music and utterly daft in each others company” (Bill Ryder-Jones)

“It could fuel your summer, in a ramshackle hedonistic way, but it’s sweeter than that. It’s less sex, drugs, rock n roll, more snogging, cider and pop”
