The 10 day event will be beginning with the opening show Thursday 23 October. Headliner for the night is Caribou, a Canadian artist…

Liverpool International Festival of Psychedelia; Review
Psychedelic music, not usually a genre of my choice, however having read many good reviews from last year’s festival, I was excited to attend. Becoming slightly more nervous as I approached the Baltic Triangle, concerned I would stand out like a sore thumb with my dress sense, proving this isn’t my usual listen. When I arrived it quickly became apparent that this festival was for a whole array of people from Mods to Rockers, Goths to Hippies and your…

10 Bands 10 Minutes Holiday Banger: Madonna; Review
For just over two and a half years The Kazimier has been the home of a gig, a night and, most importantly, a party quite unlike any other that you’ll find in Liverpool (or anywhere else for that matter) its name is 10 Bands 10 Minutes. The premise is simple: ten bands each play ten minute sets back to back so tightly the people in the smoking area are rushing to finish the ends of…

The Fat White Family At Kazimier; Review
Sometimes the hype and shenanigans follow a band wherever they go obscuring the main event, the music. That could well be said of The Fat White Family, a band who never shy away from controversy. But to concentrate purely on the seedy showmanship the band are notorious for would be to do them a disservice, for although the subject matter can cut close to the bone, both the content and delivery of their music can be…

We Buy White Albums Exhibition At FACT
Preceding International Beatle Week beginning August 20th, Rutherford Chang has brought his exhibition We Buy White Albums to FACT. His collection consists of 1,000 original copies of The Beatles highly sought after White Album; each LP has its own serial number making each one unique. This ‘uniqueness’ was the main draw for Chang when he first put out his advert to any White Album owners or sellers 8 years ago. Chang saw the famous cover as a blank canvas…

Bolshy Debut EP Radical. Anarchic. Bolshy. Scouse; Review
For a band with such an unpredictable sound, the choice of title sums it up well. ‘Radical. Anarchic. Bolshy. Scouse’ indeed – pretty concise for a debut outing. Across five songs and seven members Bolshy latch dub, salsa and hip hop to a third-wave ska-punk sound that provides their sonic backbone, and for the vast majority of the release they tie their influences together with refreshing stability. The success of the overall textural edge is perhaps…

Liverpool Calling Part Two; More Action From The Bombed Out Church
Whilst hundreds of thousands of people from Liverpool, and visitors from outside the city, gathered to watch three colossal creatures roam through town, the question is what were the rest of us doing? One such alternative was only the second Liverpool Calling Festival, which took place throughout the Saturday of the Giants’ visit, and was spread across multiple venues including The Kazimier, The Zanzibar, Magnet, Sound Food and Drink and Maguire’s Pizza Bar. Giants were…

Liverpool Calling Part One; Featuring Sound Food & Drink Acoustic Stage To Bombed Out Church Headliners Space
Though most were concerned about the return of those monolithic marionettes, the ‘Giants’ meandering around town and in some cases ‘farting’ and losing their head to the delight of thousands, 26th July also marked the return of a more subtle spectacle, namely Liverpool Calling. Like the ‘Giants’ Liverpool Calling is an event still in it’s infancy, with this being only its second year, but any music fans who failed to answer it’s call, in favour of…

Artist Feature; Natalie McCool
Natalie McCool’s latest single ‘Wind Blows Harder’ is another hauntingly beautiful release from the singer/songwriter. Winner of Female Artist of the Year award at last year’s Liverpool Music Awards, Natalie McCool is gaining further success since the release of her debut self-titled album and recent follow-up single. Having also received a one-to-one songwriting session with Paul McCartney back in 2009, there is undeniably something special about the LIPA-educated singer/songwriter, which has continued to blossom since.…

Band Feature; Broken Men
Broken Men are one of the rising stars coming out of Liverpool at the moment. This is a band with the production value and sheer quality of those in the ever changing, big leagues. A well thought out and stylised approach to not only their music, but also their stage presence, has given Broken Men that certain undefinable edge. Riffs that tear through the air and bass that breaks through your body tell of the…

Parquet Courts At The Kazimier; Review
With most people flocking to beer gardens and parks to lap up the sun’s rays and bask in its scorching heat, it’s a wonder why anyone would want to steal themselves away in the halls of Liverpool’s own The Kazimier, with it’s rickety décor and fairground haunted house entrance. Though the weather was a pleasing spectacle, it’s solar might could not distract from another heat seeking creature of mythical proportion, namely, the SunBathing Animal. Not a…
