Liverpool Psych fest is on 23rd-24th September this year.

 

Here's a list of the bands playing

Night Beats were on a few years ago, that was good fun.

[cloggypop]

I saw Night Beats in the Bitterzoet in Amsterdam a while back. Good band. Deffo a bit of 13th Floor Elevators in there.

 

Check out Rats On Rafts if you go to Liverpool Psych. They are from Rotterdam but David the singer was brought up a Liverpool fan by his Irish ma. They are all massive Bunnymen and Teardrops fans and dead excited about finally getting to play Liverpool.

Okay will do. I just checked out their stuff on youtube. I like this...

 

 

I'll probably be getting a day ticket if i go. Thanks for the heads up cloggy.

Ha ha! They have nicked the bass player out of The Homesick/Yuko Yuko (both boss - mostly same members but different sounds) there. 

 

For some reason David is also dressed like the singer out of both bands. He doesn't normally look like a scall from Wigan.

[The Golden Eel]

New album from best live band on the planet Thee Oh Sees is out. It's boss.

I saw these live one time - I use the term "saw" loosely 

[SammyAftershave]

No explanation required. Just Curtis Mayfield being brilliant.

Fantastic track. Brilliant cover by Patti Jo remixed by Tom Moulton here too:

I've seen them a fair few times. They have been the best live band on the planet for a while now.

[The Great Jacko]

I am currently living in the year 2013 and am completely blown away by Laura Marlings Once I Was An Eagle. Also love Gregory Porters Liquid Spirit.

[ZonkoVille77]

I love the sound of Em to A in a song and could sit there just strumming those 2 chords for ages.

[TheHowieLama]

Found a video on YouTube on Saturday night when I was half asleep of Steely Dan playing My Old School in 1973, got up yesterday morning & it had been deleted.

 

Pissed off, I'm a bit obsessed with Steely Dan at the moment, I've bough Countdown to Ecstasy which is arriving today & I'll have all their 70s stuff.

 

The lip synced version with Diaz and Skunk Baxter?

[TheHowieLama]

[Mook]

That's the one.

 

Keeps getting put up and then deleted.

You beat me to it Mook - here are some Steely style grooves from a guy who really did not play w them much  - great band sound and obviously his output w Stuff is gold caliber

[NoelM]

We're hosting another gig in our local (the fourth one this year) previously we had John Murry, The Lost Brothers and David Corley. This one is for Peter Bruntnell, a really under-rated artist from the UK. His new album is really brilliant including this great anti-Trump song.

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

Kings of Leon on Jools Holland tonight.

 

Used to like them then that album with Sex On Fire came out and they just went a bit shite.

 

New single actually sounded half decent.

 

They were followed by a band called M83 who I've heard of but never heard them. They were quite good. And one of the female singers was absolutely stunning.

[Vincent Vega]

M83 were boss and I thought both of the two girls were stunners.

 

Love Jack White as well.

Kings of Leon are the absolute definition of what happens when the record companies marketing department set their styling team on a band.

I've been enjoying King Champion Sounds recently. New album is out

 

https://kingchampionsounds.bandcamp.com/

 

Their best stuff still sounds like The Fall with a brass section but with G W Sok out The Ex singing. Boss band.

 

Oh and they have J Mascis and Mike Watt on a couple of tracks.

 

This is the first track

J Mascis is on the solo at the end

 

The first album and the 10" mini album are great.

[Carvalho Diablo]

Not a big King's Of Leon fan tbh but hard to ever beat any song called The Bucket.

[Mook]

I've got news for people who think Kings of Leon's early stuff was good...

 

They've always been utter shite.
