For a weekend full of space, science, brilliant music and pure imagination, Sounds From Nowhere delved into the world of Bluedot for its 2017 festival.  It’s only the second year for the wonderous Bluedot Festival, based out of Jodrell Bank Observatory in Cheshire, where astronomy and music collide and we excitingly set off to enjoy…

Last night, the great Bido Lito! brought an amazing punk-driven outing of their Social (free for Bido members!) at Camp and Furnace. Pip Johnson went down to catch the action. Jo Mary walked onto the stage at half past 8 and started off slow with a psychedelic sound but quickly turned things up into a…

Like watching blooming flowers coming from organised chaos, Kikagaku Moyo heighten every sense and blow your mind simultaneously and quite effortlessly too.  Truth be told, I’ve been looking forward to catching the Japanese psych greats ever since I caught them at this past year’s Liverpool International Festival of Psychedelia.  Beforehand, we’re treated to a support…

The final day of the 10th Sound City brings a slower tone and vibe, albeit with a lot more people.  The first act of the day we caught were Wasted Johnny’s, the Korean punks that bleeds classic rock n’ roll. Nostalgic in taste, however the energy of the band is what blew me away, always…

Some concerts are able to capture your entire imagination just for a second, some for a long time. To kick off Sound City 2017, The Human League captured ours indefinitely.  First up, where A Certain Ratio. Walking out to a very empty looking crowd, with the size of the site. It could be enough to…

Last night (22nd), Manchester Arena was the scene of a horrific terror attack following a suicide bomber explosion that has currently left 22 people dead and over 50 injured.  The attack to place at the foyer area of Manchester Arena shortly following Ariana Grande‘s encore of her performance.  We’re deeply saddened by this horrible attack…

Last night, iconic metal legends Iron Maiden made their return to Liverpool after almost 27 years for a heavily anticipated show. Shaun Ponsonby went down to catch Maiden in action.  It has been a long time since Iron Maiden played Liverpool – a fact referenced by frontman Bruce Dickinson on stage. By our calculations, Eddie…
