Choc Electrique Album Launch At The Zanzibar; Review
My friends and I reached The Zanzibar half way through the set by The Polyvelds. Apologies to the band for missing the first songs, as the enjoyable Indie type rock that greeted us deserved our full attention. Catchy and up-beat, the music was a perfect start to the evening. Creeps are a band I reviewed after their set at The Magnet during Hope Fest. Nothing has changed. They remain the excellent grunge-inspired band I reviewed at their first…

'Withnail & I' Special Showings At FACT Picturehouse
‘Listen, we’re bona fide. We’re not from London…’ So goes one of the many quotable extracts from Withnail & I, a comedy as hilarious and watchable as The Big Lebowski or Monty Python & The Holy Grail. Widely acclaimed as one of the greatest British films of all time, shooting was nearly cancelled less than a week in as Denis O’Brien, co-founder of HandMade Films (with George Harrison being the other half) felt that…

'Hijinx' Band; Gig Review
Friday night saw what could only be described as a return to my roots, back to the Stanley’s Cask, which used to be my local when I lived on the Wirral many moons ago. The band that pulled me back were Hijinx, arguably also part of my past, friends of friends from way back, but a band I had never given the attention they deserved. So, I decided to make them the priority for my…

Liverpool International Festival of Psychedelia; Review Part Two
It’s not every Friday afternoon I get to sip beer, in the sunshine, in the presence of some of the most awe-inspiring psych bands I’ve ever heard; the beginning of Liverpool Psych fest 2014 was happily one of those times. Purple Heart Parade kicked off the weekend in Blade with a ragingly energetic set after recently releasing a cassette on local North West label Blak Hand Records. Their roaring vocals and feedback reverberated off the…

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…

Band Feature; Raw City – Gritty, Underground, No Thrills Punk
A not so typical Merseyside band full of lads, not afraid to say how it is, taking us back to a time when punk was popular and the youth were in revolt. The four piece band made up of Philly Moore (vocals), Craig Ebbrell (bass), Jack Turner (guitar) and Dave Keenan (drums) are not new to the Liverpool music scene. Gigging since 2011, the band has grown a strong cult of dedicated followers. It’s not difficult to understand…

Hope Fest Day Three At The Magnet
Arriving just before the first band were due to begin, I had finally got my timings right. Joining my friends in the booth they had secured, I settled down to enjoy another evening of choice local bands, all in the name of a very good cause. The guy introducing the bands seemed to be having a wonderful evening and would best be described as ‘slightly inebriated’, which added a certain comedic aspect to the proceedings.…

Hope Fest Day Two At The Baltic Social
After the success of the evening at Brink on Friday, I was looking forward to seeing what Saturday night at The Baltic Social had in store. I arrived early to drop some more goodies for the homeless, which was the true point of the whole exercise, then went to meet a friend who needed a little help to find the venue, which is on the edge of town and relatively unknown to those not…

Hope Fest Day One At The Brink
Constrained by my usual need to work to pay the bills, I didn’t reach Brink until half way through the set by Eleanor, so deepest apologies to the acts I didn’t manage to see. Eleanor Nellie has a strong, clear voice which contains a controlled passion. The way she delivers her lyrics shows a maturity beyond her years. Her emphatic set and soaring vocals made a great start to my evening. The next performer,…
