News Liverpool Music Week Is 10 With it having taken a breather in 2013, we’re delighted to welcome back the tenth edition of LIVERPOOL MUSIC WEEK this year, to warm up the long, cold wintry nights of October. And what a line-up they’ve amassed so far, with CARIBOU (pictured) kicking things off on 23rd October at Camp and Furnace. The same venue then sees a scintillating FOREST SWORDS-curated ATP event the following day, headlined by MOGWAI. 30th October sees the arch pop of WILD BEASTS take over Camp and Furnace, with Philly’s THE WAR ON DRUGS bringing some dreamy Americana to the O2 Academy on 4th November. liverpoolmusicweek.com Bido Lito! Dansette Our pick of this month’s wax wonders, as chosen by Bido Lito! photographer Adam Edwards... Thieves On The Loose OXYGEN THIEVES bring their gnarly, menacing sides to bear on their new EP, and it makes for a mightily impressive racket. We Found The Thieves, set to be the first release on the band’s own imprint, Secret House Records, finds the four-piece in an abrasive mood as they take a swipe at the world in front of their uncompromising glare. Elements of Pixies, Nirvana and The Wytches wrestle with each other in this fiery brew, which you can see live on 11th July at Sound Food and Drink for their EP launch night, which features Bido DJs on the 1s and 2s. soundcloud.com/oxygen-thieves Merseyrail Sound Station Prize 2014 After a hugely successful debut in 2013, the MERSEYRAIL SOUND STATION PRIZE 2014 is now open, providing a fantastic opportunity for emerging local talent to get an invaluable leg-up in the music industry. The prize offers an artist the chance to benefit from twelve months of professional music industry mentoring and recording time, with a free year of Merseyrail train travel thrown in! Details of how to enter – as well as an exclusive live session with Hooton Tennis Club – can be found on the latest instalment of the Sound Station Podcast, available at merseyrailsoundstation.com Be One Percent In The City Co-founded by Liverpool musician Steve Pilgrim, BE ONE PERCENT is a network of individuals who commit to giving 1% of their income each month to help the world’s poorest people. The charity directs its support to organisations working to improve water and sanitation in some of the world’s poorest communities. In order to raise some much-needed funds for the charity, PAUL WELLER will play a special, intimate show at East Village Arts Club on Thursday 3rd July, as a one-off event in the middle of his UK tour. To find out more about the charity head to beonepercent.org SAE Open Day The SAE have been delivering creative media courses in sound engineering and music production since 1976, and on 19th July they will throw open the doors to their brand-new Liverpool campus for their latest open day. As well as audio production, courses are available in digital filmmaking, web development, 3D / interactive animation and games programming, and the open day is the perfect opportunity for you to get the facts and see for yourself their state-of-the-art facilities, meet lecturers and tutors as well as existing students. To sign up for the open day visit liverpool.sae.edu Bolshy And Proud COMPETITION! Having successfully exceeded their original goal on their Crowdfunder campaign, DIY seven-piece outfit BOLSHY have put the funds to good use in producing their debut EP Radical. Anarchic. Bolshy. Scouse. The EP is a fizzing slice of ska, punk, reggae and samba anthems that stick faithfully to their anti-capitalist, anti-discrimination ethics. In thirty days they raised £1885, £385 over their target. Regulars on the gigging circuit right across the North West, Bolshy recorded the tracks at Parr Street Studios thanks to development support from Merseyside Arts Foundation and Youth Music. Download the single Spaceman now at bolshy.bandcamp.com After a celebrated debut in 2013, LIVERPOOL CALLING returns on 26th July, sporting an impressive line-up. DEXTERS, D/R/U/G/S, TWISTED WHEEL and THE RIFLES (pictured) headed up an already strong bill across our favourite city centre venues, which is now bolstered by the surprise announcement of SPACE, JETTA and THE SUNDOWNERS at St. Luke’s Bombed Out Church. A plethora of local artists join in support and tickets are available for individual shows and also on a multi-venue wristband basis. We’ve managed to scoop a pair of wristbands to give away in this month’s competition, which may be yours if you successfully navigate this testing piece of trivia: What was the name of The Rifles’ 2006 debut LP? a) No Love Lost b) I Lost A Love c) Love Is Lost Any entries reached with the aid of Wikipedia will be discounted. To enter, just email your answer to competition@bidolito.co.uk by 18th July. All the correct answers will be placed around the edge of a pink Ouija board with the winner selected either via the demons of the occult, or by random, depending on your fix. Good luck! DZ Deathrays Black Rat I OH YOU Their first album was loud, brash and catchy as hell, and DZ DEATHRAYS' follow-up is loud, brash and catchy as hell. Menacing pop hooks galore are on show here, but hidden beneath dense enough noise to dissuade the casual listener – probably just how they like it. Black Rat is more eclectic than its predecessor but essentially this is more good noise for good times. Hamilton Leithauser Alexandra RIBBON MUSIC While most of us have barely begun to accept The Walkmen's "extended hiatus", their frontman HAMILTON LEITHAUSER has set about his solo career with first singe Alexandra – which sounds like a gloriously upbeat version of, well, The Walkmen. Driving and toe-tapping, it's no surprise it's co-written by Rostam Batmanglij of pop-rock maestros Vampire Weekend. Jack White Lazaretto THIRD MAN RECORDS In the wake of heavily White Stripesinfluenced bands like Royal Blood, JACK WHITE returns to out-Jack White them all. While White's trusty distortion pedal is very much in tow, it's not all fuzzy blues on Lazeratto – there are folk ballads and a big dollop of funk on show here too. There’s also a personal crackle to this record, no doubt brought about by his recent divorce. Parquet Courts Sunbathing Animal ROUGH TRADE Three albums in and PARQUET COURTS have learned to control themselves. Whereas past records have been glorious blurs, Sunbathing Animal boasts thirteen finely crafted individual tracks, and not all are balls-out heavy rock (though thankfully most of them are). The title track shows that the band know their trademark sound inside out, and that they’re not shy of showing it off. bidolito.co.uk
