LIVERPOOL MUSIC WEEK 2010

The Drums & Liars Just Added To LMW 2010

The UK’s biggest indoor winter music festival kicks off on 29^th October and we are pleased to announce more acts to this years ever growing line up.

Named as one of the BBC’s ‘Sound of 2010’ and winners of the Philip Hall Radar award at this year’s NME Awards, Brooklyn four-piece The Drums are one of the most exciting new young bands to come out of New York this century. Their unique flavour of West Coast surf riffs and infectious lyrics has struck a chord with audiences and critics alike, selling out their entire forthcoming UK tour. They come to Liverpool on Tuesday 2^nd November and will headline the O2 Academy.

Another act just announced for this year’s festival are Liars. This New York dance-punk trio have been making records for over a decade drawing from the late 1970’s British post-punk movement to much critical acclaim. Having just released their fifth album ‘Sisterworld’ the band are about to embark on a UK tour performing tracks from the record as well as debuting music from their brand new remix EP featuring Radiohead’s Thom Yorke. They play Liverpool Music Week - their only northern show - at Static Gallery on Saturday 13^th November.

Mike Deane LMW Director said: “This is the icing on the cake for 2010. It’s a real sign of how far Liverpool Music Week has come to be able to attract such important contemporary American bands to the city for this year’s festival. The line up this year is the most cutting edge to date, and we are thrilled with this announcement”
