Providing a new festival space for all things a little off, very weird and wholly loud, WRONG Festival brought a debut year like no other festival can.  With a mixture of bands creating loud noises and experimentations in three locations, our team (who also arrived late) spent time walking round the three venues to gather…

On a soaking Friday evening, our staff photographer and occasional writer Pip Johnson went down to EGBGs for a night of pure noise as Loner Noise presented a night co-headlined by OHHMs and Hark. First act of the night was Welsh rockers Gravves who played a short and pleasant set, featuring songs of their debut EP…

Threshold has come by us once again, what a weekend once again filled with some amazing sets and some that seriously blew our minds, here’s our review of Threshold 7. The weekend opens at Unit 51, the creative hub for all things Threshold and basically the centrepiece of the Baltic Triangle, and our first act…

With Liverpool packed with gigs on a usual Saturday night, SFN‘s James Ainsworth took an indifferent trip to the Arts Club for a mostly unimpressive night of music headlined by The BoHos. The Higherside made a thundering start to the proceedings, presenting their indie rock, Britpop sounds to the presently empty Arts Club, with only…

Just as the mad genius Thundercat hits the Invisible Wind Factory, SFN‘s Jack Cinnamond takes a trip to the grandest venue in Liverpool to catch the city debut of the renowned jazz artist. As soon as it was announced, we knew Thundercat would sell the hell out of the Invisible Wind Factory and like it…

On a easy Thursday night, we take to the basement venue EBGBs for our first time to take a lovely trip thanks to tonight’s dreamy bill headlined by mutant-pop wonders Trudy and The Romance. Stepping into EBGBs for the first time is a quick breathtaking moment, the basement of the wonderful Heebie Jeebies is a…

Benjamin D. Duvall, the leader of Liverpool‘s experimental outfit Ex-Easter Island Head, is set to debut a new series of intimate, exploratory set of shows titled New Music For Old Machines. The debut performance will take place this Thursday (16th) at the Everyman Bistro and will feature Duvall preforming a piece of work around “prepared…

When the Mali soul-rebels Tinariwen come to town, there’s no chance of anybody missing history. SFN‘s Jack Cinnamond took to the Invisible Wind Factory for an evening of musical excellence. There’s gigs constantly in the actual city of culture, but every few months we’ll be gifted a show like no other, last night was one…

On a rainy Monday night, hotly-tipped Reading outfit The Amazons arrive in Liverpool to preform a sold-out show, our own James Ainsworth took to the Buyers Club to see if the hype was real. Danye opened and provided their psych-pop sounds to warm up the already notably large Buyers Club audience. The band themselves where on…

Peter Hook, founding member of Joy Division and New Order, returned to Liverpool last night with The Light in-tow to preform the two classic Substance albums in a single set, and he proved a lot along the way. With Hooky‘s on-going, looming legal issues with his former bandmates, it was an emotive move for Hooky and…
