M.A.D.I.S.O.N,Last Breath and In Between Echoes create Indie Heaven at The Dome

M.A.D.I.S.O.N,Last Breath and In Between Echoes  at The Dome Liverpoolome

The Dome Grand Central continues to present a mixed line up of acts with the announcement of three Indie bands playing Liverpool for the first time all in one night. On Sun 4^th December ‘Music Out There’ will introduce M.A.D.I.S.O.N, Last Breath and In Between Echoes to the Liverpool music scene.

M.A.D.I.S.O.N a 4-part band that describe themselves as "melodic rock with a retro touch" due to their 3 part harmonies, vintage lead guitar and amp combo, and obsessive attention to detail in their music that is often missing these days.  This summer they played the main stage of Bridgnorth Music Festival and in January are support to Gerry McAvoy (Rory Gallagher band) at The Robin2.  M.A.D.I.S.O.N will include their current single in their set. "Where Are You?" is available on iTunes and all major download stores, and they will also perform songs from their forthcoming album which is due for release in the New Year.

LAST BREATH are a melodic rock band who are regularly compared to Nickelback and Foo Fighters, blending true rock music with a more commercial sound. This summer they have played festivals, won first prize in the Battle Of the Bands Final at the Marine Hall, Fleetwood (organised by Lancashire Council) and in November 2011 won the RNLI Sessions competition - and subsequently played an acoustic session at Aberystwyth Lifeboat House which was broadcast live over the internet. LAST BREATH will include some of their 5 singles currently available on iTunes, plus songs from their forthcoming album which they are currently recording. 

IN BETWEEN ECHOES have a more funky sound, with a fusion of their influences including jazz, blues, funk, pop and blue-eyed soul, creating a sound probably best likened to Jamiroquai, John Mayer etc. Having played to mainly local Yorkshire audiences they are now playing gigs in different parts of the UK. IN BETWEEN ECHOES will include songs from their forthcoming EP in their set.

This is the first time any of the bands have played Liverpool (M.A.D.I.S.O.N originate from Telford, Last Breath from Blackpool and In Between Echoes from Leeds) and they are delighted to be offered the chance to be amongst the first indie artists to play The Dome. 

Last Breath and M.A.D.I.S.O.N are two of the artists featured on the debut "Uncovered" compilation CD of indie artists. "Uncovered" has been scheduled for release on December 4th to coincide with the event at The Dome and the CD is available for pre-order and will be on sale at the show at just £5 for the CD.

The 1200 capacity live performance venue, situated in Grand Central on Renshaw Street provides the perfect setting for the full live band with the huge organ installed in 1907 acting as an impressive and unique backdrop behind the main stage. The Dome Grand Central is set to become a hub of creativity and set to be one of Liverpool’s leading live music, theatre, cabaret, variety and vaudeville venues.

Twisted Wheel @ The Masque, Liverpool

Last time we reviewed Twisted Wheel it was at the O2 Liverpool and for a different publication. This time around they are playing the Masque Theatre and a lot has changed since then.

As soon we headed into the auditorium in The Masque all you could hear was the crowd chanting “Wheel!! Wheel!! Wheel!!”as loud as they could in eager anticipation for their beloved Twisted Wheel to appear. The excitement from the crowd, mainly young and indie, was intense and the feeling of urgency was almost tangible.

Pretty soon they arrived on stage to thundering applause and from the 1st note both them and the crowd exuded so much energy it was difficult to decide who to watch.

The band themselves were once again on their finest rock form as they blasted out “You Stole the Sun”, “She’s A Weapon” and “Lucy The Castle” with the crowd singing along to every word. This reminded me of the reaction to Oasis back in their hey day. These guys maybe young but have a maturity that is beyond their years but when it comes to a live gig they definitely know how to work up a crowd into a bouncing near mosh pit frenzy. Crowd surfing and dancing along side the band was not enough for this crowd and on their final song " Oh What Have You Done" the young fans stormed the stage and engulfed lead singer Jonny Brown in a sea of hormones so much so that he vanished from the stage leaving only the drummer belting out the beat and the crowd still singing along as they sang and bounced along.

Leaving with that image and the lyrics of Twisted Wheel songs going round my head has only strengthened my belief that this band are on the verge of great things and not before time.

Steve Mason @ kazimier Club

Steve Mason, formally of The Beta Band and King Biscuit was at the Kazimier Club in Liverpool on Friday night for the final night of his first solo tour to promote new album, “Boys Outside”.

With the stage packed with a wide array of musical instruments from guitar to baby bongo drums, the Scot started the set off with, “Lost and Found” a mellow little number with slight traits of Jack Johnson’s laid back style but with catchy undertones in the chorus that gets you gently bouncing along without even realizing. The mood carried on for the next few songs, then took a slighter darker note with, Stress Position” and “The Letter”, which i have to admit didn’t really suit the atmosphere that was created at the beginning of the set, but does show that Steve Mason has the versatility and talent to create different moods in a short space of time.

Pretty soon the atmosphere lightened up again with, “All Over You” and one of my favourite tracks of the night, “All Come Down” which saw melancholy tones and haunting elements to Steve Mason’s vocals. The final song was, “C I Am 15” which saw the big beats and upbeat tempo again which saw him doing an Ian Brown on stage with tambourine in hand and mic held above his head while bouncing melodically around the stage. This one definitely let you recapture the mood of the early 90’s and went down a storm with the crowd.

Steve Mason came back onto the stage for his encore after the Kaza
Kazimiere was filled with whistles, cheering and shouting for more from the audience. Here he took to the stage alone for an acoustic set which allowed him to show a grittier edge to his vocals instead of the gentle mellow tones we had grown accustomed to during the gig. Finally the band rejoined him on stage for the final song; “I Walk the Earth” which sounded like it was heavily influenced by the Stone Roses and had the whole room dancing along to and which saw a fitting end to a thoroughly enjoyable night.

Sandriver - EP Review

Hailing from Durham in the Northeast of the UK has entirely no reflection on the music the sandriver band compose and sing. The music they conjure up is more likely to remind you of the Mississippi and the deep south of America than a city in England. The sandriver band consists of Si Robinson on Guitar and vocals and Guy Siviour on Drums / percussion and their mix of blues and folk influenced music will definitely leave you wanting more.
We were lucky to be invited by the band to review their self titled E.P Sandriver.
Consisting of 6 songs the variation in sounds between them is vast. They cover blue grass, indie, blues, and folk and though at times very derivative they bring a unique and fresh outlook to the music. The slow and melancholy sounds and lyrics of songs such as Love will have you slipping back and wishing of an open log fire to crawl to. Where as in songs, like the reprisal and Kid Dust, are complete contrasts to this and make you want tap your feet and clap your hands. Though, as mentioned before, the songs can be derivative of other musicians, as in the song Letter to the Lovers which sounds not far off a Radio Head track, Si Robinson brings his own unique vocal talent to it so you are soon you are oblivious to any similarity that it may have had.

Over all this was a well rounded EP with much variation on each track so that you don’t become bored listening to it. It opens a new sound to many listeners who may not be familiar with blues and folk and puts a nice slant on the familiar sounds created in this genre

Public Image Limited @ Liverpool 02. 24th July 2010

“This is P.I.L and we don't fuck about with ceremony,” were the opening words from the infamous Johnny Rotten aka John Lydon, lead singer of Public Image Limited. Taking centre stage next to his lyrics on a stand, he almost resembled a preacher, relaying the word of Punk. The days of original punk rock maybe behind us, but for tonight it returned with a vengeance to Liverpool's O2 Academy and hundreds of punk fans come out of retirement to relive it's heyday.

Starting the two hour set off with, “This Is Not A Love Song”, you could see that Lydon had not lost his unmistakable vocals. They may have mellowed slightly with age but still contain the raw punk element of yesteryear, with emotion put into each and every lyric as the set went on and a few funky little dance moves to match.

The crowd were soon in full flow as the set went higher and higher as each electric punk induced track went by with the odd rock riff for good measure until P.i.L turned the tone on it's head completely with tribal beats and raw primal base, this was the start of not one single member of the crowd standing still and it soon turned into a frenzy of aged punks forgetting they are now settled into mid life and saw them return to their youth.

With crowd interactions a plenty and witty put down's, especially to one “ill” member of the crowd, who Lydon kindly dedicated, “A little ditty called Psycho's Path” too. It was banter like this and the undeniable massive personality of John Lydon, that you can't help hanging on his every word, whether it be lyric or witticism and you fully understand why fans have followed P.i.L with undeniable loyalty over the last 32 years and understand the sheer elation on hearing they were reforming in 2009.

Once P.i.L had exited the stage, the crowd refused to move, instead chanting and clapping for more while awaiting the obligatory encore, which we didn't have to wait too long for as they came back on stage, to huge cheers and immediately played the tracks that they are most famous for and the crowd had obviously been waiting to hear, “Open Up” and “Rise”.

Fly With Vampires @ The Shipping Forecast

Friday night saw Fly With Vampires release their début double A-sided single, “Not Wasted on the Young” and “On the Ropes”, and what a launch it was.

Playing to a packed out crowd of dedicated fans, you can see why this band is so clearly loved.

From the minute they come onto the stage, their presence and personality takes over the whole room. Starting their set with a slow haunting track, this didn't last for long as we were soon given the full on Vampire experience as the band went from one bouncing rock track to another and the crowd got swept along with it.

With the odd quip from the band, it was the only breather band and crowd got and the set seemed to be over far to quickly. 60 minutes really does fly when you're having fun. But this wasn't enough as the crowd beat the low ceiling and jumped up and down shouting for “One more song!!!!”. Thankfully Fly with Vampires treated us all to another song, but you really can't help wanting one more after that.

This is one Liverpool band who are truly captivating, exuding energy and personality every time I've seen them and never ever fail to disappoint. If you haven't been to see them yet, I strongly advise checking out their my space page and definitely get that double A sided single downloaded, because this is one band not be missed.

Music is over at Jilly's Rockworld

After four decades of weathering shifting musical tastes, two of Manchester's most famous music clubs have finally closed their doors.

The owner of Jilly's Rockworld - famous under its previous name of Fagin's - and the Musicbox - previously known as Rafters - has called time on both venues after struggling to find new audiences.

During its Seventies heyday, crowds flocked to Fagin's to watch top stars Cliff Richard, Morecambe and Wise, and Lulu perform.

Well-heeled patrons were wined and dined as they enjoyed gags by comedy greats Tommy Cooper, Dave Allen and up-and-coming stars such as Billy Connolly.

Beneath the Oxford Street cabaret, was sister venue Rafters, a disco and rock club which launched the career of Joy Division.

But John Bagnall, who has owned both clubs since 1981, said he was shutting down the business, blaming the smoking ban and competition from new music venues.

He told the M.E.N: "There has been a decline in the business. People have not been coming through the door the same as they used to.

Competition

"There are a lot of smaller rock clubs in Manchester now and there is a lot of competition for acts. The smoking ban has also devastated us.

"The problem we have is that there is no outside area where we could have a designated smoking zone. Our customers have to go into the street and are being moved by the police for blocking the road. It is things like this which have damaged us.

"We have tried everything over the last few years to change our business but it became clear we had to call it a day.

News of the closures this week has been met by an angry response by regulars and a wave of nostalgia among former patrons.

The music boss said one group of overzealous patrons had attempted to steal the sign above the venue.

He added: "Since yesterday we have had nearly 7,000 visit our website. I just wish we had had that number coming through the door every week. I don't know if the clubs will ever open again. It's in the hand of the liquidators,"

Both clubs played an important part in the city's musical history. Joy Division were signed up by Tony Wilson shortly after he spotted them at Rafters in April 1978.

Rock band Depeche Mode even decided to recorded an album in the basement venue, while the upstairs cabaret helped launched the careers of singers Lisa Stansfield and Sade as well as hosting Motown legends such as Edwin Starr and Jimmy Ruffin.

Retired police chief Lil King, whose varied career saw her work as a dancer and DJ at both venues, recalled the venue's glory days.

She said: "Women wearing trousers were not allowed inside Fagin's. Men with hair below their collar were not allowed. It was a very strict dress code. It was the ultimate place to party. Hundreds of people were turned away each night."

Former DJ and compere Pete Smith added: "Top comedy acts with shows on TV would be playing upstairs. Cannon and Ball and Russ Abbott were playing when they were in their heyday. On Thursday nights, all hell would broke lose when the punk night was on. It was an incredible mixture. There won't be anywhere like it again."

Supergrass split after 17 years

Oxford band Supergrass have split up bringing to an end a 17-year, six-album career.

The Britpop foursome - lead singer Gaz Coombes, keyboardist Rob Coombes, bassist Mick Quinn and drummer Danny Goffey - are famous for songs like Alright, Caught By The Fuzz and Richard III.

They'll play a selection of "farewell" UK gigs in Glasgow, Manchester and London before their final gig in Paris on 11 June.

In a statement, the band said: "Thanks to everyone who has supported us over the years. We still love each other but, cliché notwithstanding, musical differences have led to us moving on."

'Moving on'

After forming in 1993 the quartet released their debut album I Should Coco in 1994.

In 2004 they celebrated their 10-year anniversary with a Best Of collection called Supergrass Is 10.

Their sixth studio album Diamond Hoo Har made it to number 19 in the UK album charts when it was released in 2008. The album was recorded by Gaz Coombes and Danny Goffey after Mick Quinn injured his back in a sleep-walking accident.

They spent 2009 working on their seventh album - it is not yet known whether the material will be released.

Most recently, Gaz Coombes and Goffey released a covers album produced by Radiohead collaborator Nigel Godrich with their new project The Hot Rats in January.

Noel Gallagher: 'I'll never recover from Toronto Oasis gig assault'

Noel Gallagher has delivered a witness statement to a Toronto court saying that he has been told he will "never really recover" from the injuries he received in the city in September 2008.

The guitarist was attacked by crowd member Daniel Sullivan at the V Festival in the Canadian city while performing with Oasis there. He suffered three cracked ribs.

Now according to The Sun, Gallagher's witness statement has been read out in court in the country's capital after Sullivan plead guilty to the charge of assault.

"I would describe the impact and shock as feeling as if I had been hit by a bus," Gallagher's statement read. "I ended up in a heap. I have been told that I will never really recover from the damage, and still feel painful twinges."

The statement continued, "The emotional impact it had was essentially coping with the pressure to perform so as not to let the band down. For a considerable period I was operating at 50 per cent of my capabilities."

Oasis had to cancel a series of gigs because of the injuries. Sullivan is set to be sentenced next month.
