LIVERPOOL SOUND CITY FESTIVAL – 22nd-23rd-24th May 2015

"We're really pleased to announce we've been confirmed for this year's @[99669750051:274:Liverpool Sound City] on Sunday 24th May. Tickets are on sale now from http://www.liverpoolsoundcity.co.uk/tickets"

Liverpool Sound City have revealed their next wave of artists including The Cribs, Peace and Everything Everything. Joining confirmed headliners The Flaming Lips, Belle & Sebastian and The Vaccines are Fat White Family, Swans, George the Poet and Icelandic post-punk outfit Iceage.

The new additions add weight to a line up already rich in big-hitters with Yorkshire rock & rollers The Cribs once described as the UK’s ‘biggest cult band.’
While the capture of Michael Gira’s Swans is perhaps the greatest coup of all – a band noted for their hardcore following, seminal post-punk music and dedication to noise which has led to fans passing out at concerts due to the colossal volume.
All of which should add an extra dimension to the new Sound City site, situated on the Bramley-Moore Docks on the banks of the River Mersey.
Everything Everything bassist, Jeremy Pritchard, said: “Liverpool has such a sense and conspicuous love of live music so we always feel at home there, we always have a good time and a great party.

“In the early days of the band we always seemed to end up roaring drunk and sleeping on someone’s floor on Smithdown Road – it will be particularly cool to play at the new location on the docks, that kind of post- industrial landscape is always inspiring.”
Other acts announced include Spector, Stormzy, The Bohicas, Honeyblood, Aquilo and a brace of Merseyside front-runners; master-craftsman Bill Ryder-Jones, GIT Award 2015 nominees The Sundowners and balearic guitar-slingers Tea Street Band.
Sound City CEO Dave Pichilingi said: “It’s a really big year for Sound City – with the move to our incredible new industrial home at Bramley Moore Docks we promised to create a bill that smashed expectations. We believe we have more than delivered on this promise. Sound City have also revealed they are working alongside STAX Creations, the team tasked with helping transform the Docklands festival site while Liverpool John Moores University have been named the official Cultural Educational Partner.

Sound City music festival runs between ­May 21st-24th with wristbands available here.

liverpool psych fest

The first round of announcements for this year’s festival, which will be headlined by space psych icons SPIRITUALIZED. The festival will take place on 25th + 26th September 2015 across the four stages at Camp and Furnace, Blade Factory and District. Alongside this we’re thrilled to have a unique and exciting SACRED BONES v BYM collaboration with two of our most loved record labels.

 

Returning to the scene of last year’s glorious success at Camp and Furnace – a remarkable warehouse space deep in the heart of Liverpool’s Baltic Triangle –  Liverpool Psych Fest has, in the space of three years, established for itself a fearsome reputation for putting on a cultural event that embraces all of the cosmic delights of the psychedelic sub-culture.
For two days and two nights you can experience a brilliant kaleidoscope of music, visual art, film, performances and exciting curations, all of which celebrate the continuing revival of this mind expanding musical art form. It is little wonder that Liverpool International Festival Of Psychedelia was named ‘Best Small Festival’ at the 2015 NME Awards.

HOOTEN TENNIS CLUB – ” Jasper “

Hooton Tennis Club are four good friends from Liverpool who release their debut single for Heavenly Recordings,  titled “Jasper ” on Monday February 23rd 2015. The band began catching attention at the tail end of 2014. Signing with Heavenly Recordings, the group hooked up with Bill Ryder-Jones to focus on fresh material.

It’s a wonderfully fuzzy slice of guitar pop. No doubt in awe of Teenage Fanclub and Guided By Voices, there’s a real sense of Englishness to the songwriting – whether that’s in the downbeat melodies, or the lyrics which talk of a wet Wednesday.

ALL WE ARE – ” Feel Safe “

The debut track, “Utmost Good“, from Liverpool’s All We Are.  There’s been nothing much from the group whatsoever, leaving us with nothing but sad faces. Fortunately, the band is back to end the misery and drought with the release of their brand-new effort, “Feel Safe”, and, as far as letting down goes, there’s none of that here, because there’s no way you’re not going to love how the trio harmonizes over disco-inspired and slow-grooving instrumentation. It’s everything you love about that throwback sound, yet, it’s still polished enough to fit right into 2014. Lets hope to hear more from this band this year next year I’m hoping for a full tour and lots of festival dates , sure they will be one of the bands to see in 2015.

ALL WE ARE – ” Keep Me Alive “

All We Are are one of those bands with a geographical backlog that could make even the most seasoned gap-year students jealous. The threesome met at university in Liverpool but hail from Ireland (Richard, drums), Brazil (Luis, guitar) and Norway (Guro, bass). They’re basically the most jetsetting group I’ve seen since Il Divo burst on to the scene back in 2003.

Most recently the band have isolated themselves in the Norwegian mountains and the Welsh countryside. They’ve been writing their debut album, working with producer Dan Carey (M.I.A, Hot Chip, Bat For Lashes), and probably wearing a buttload of jumpers to keep them warm.

One of the first tracks to come from those sessions is “Keep Me Alive”. is an exquisite slice of comforting upbeat pop. Obviously the production is incredible, but I would argue it’s the voices – pulling you in, claiming to “hear nothing but your breathing” – that make this one of the most heartfelt and yearning tracks of the year.

 

GULF – ” Tell Me Again “

Hometown: Liverpool.Gulf could go either way. They could be massive, or they could just fizzle out towards cult curio status. The fate of Childhood and Temples – limited sales and medium-to-rave reviews, despite being as good as guitar-pop has got for years
Besides, despite the limpid loveliness of their guitars and lilting, aching melodies, they don’t seem to be one of those I-wanna-be-adored type bands. They’re not post-Smiths/Roses wannabes or big-mouthed Saviours of Indie, mainly because there is no indie left to be saved, and anyway, they’re too mired in melancholia to have delusions of grandeur.
The lineup: Joshua Gorman (drums), Jake Brown (bass), Mark Jones (lead vocals/synth/guitar), Femi Fadero (guitar/backing vocals), Thomas Murray (guitar/backing vocals).

The band making this sound is the Liverpool-based trio All We Are, who formed at the city’s talent-producing Institute For Performing Arts, Lipa. Then they were offered to tour with another great Scouse trio – Stealing Sheep.

After hearing their blend of beautiful, drowsy melodies I contacted them to find out more. They all met at Lipa’s international students orientation day – remembering they “had name tags and everything”. Bassist Guro Gikling is from Norway, drummer Rich O’Flynn from Ireland and guitarist Luís Santos from Brazil.
