News Out Of Psych, Out Of Mind The line-up for this year’s LIVERPOOL INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL OF PSYCHEDELIA is now complete following the latest slew of artist announcements. Dreamy LA psych surfers ALLAH-LAS (pictured) join GOAT as headliners, with Texans CHRISTIAN BLAND & THE REVELATORS and avant-garde UK experimentalists GRUMBLING FUR also added to the bill. Further explorations will take place this year in the form of a symposium and film programme titled Adventures At The Outer Reaches, and the festival will also mark the launch of Sonic Cathedral’s Psych For Sore Eyes 2 EP. Find more line-up and ticket details at liverpoolpsychfest.com Bido Lito! Dansette Our pick of this month's fresh wax cuts... Merseyside Arts Foundation Third Round The Merseyside Arts Foundation has announced that the third round of applications for its MUSIC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME 2013/2014 is now open. Local musicians are encouraged to apply for the programme, with twelve of the best being selected to develop their talents via a series of mentoring sessions and industry workshops, along with a recording session at Parr Street Studios and the opportunity to perform at a live showcase event. There is also a similar course specifically for 16-18-year-olds running alongside the Development Programme. The entry process opens on 4th August. For more info or an application form visit merseysideartsfoundation.org.uk On General Release It’s been a particularly productive time for the region’s musicians of late, meaning we’ve been spoilt by a wave of ace releases. Electronic duo DROHNE followed up their mini tour with Factory Floor by hitting us with their latest wares in the form of the Ø EP, which features a stunning collaboration with NADINE CARINA. ALPHA MALE TEA PARTY (pictured) got in on the act too by releasing their second full-length record of hyphenated-rock (Droids) on Superstar Destroyer Records. Not to be outdone, THE SPRINGTIME ANCHORAGE have announced that their debut album will come out on 18th August. Fill your boots. Liverpool Music Week Closing Party Returns After previously announcing a grand old opening party with CARIBOU and EVIAN CHRIST to herald their tenth edition, the organisers behind LIVERPOOL MUSIC WEEK have made a lot of people happy by declaring that this year’s festivities will once again be wrapped up by one of their famous closing parties. Spread across a multitude of venues in the Baltic Triangle, the 1st November mega party will feature CHVRCHES, BLACK LIPS (pictured), EMA, NGUZUNGUZU and SOPHIE – and that’s just for starters. Further additions will be announced in the coming weeks, but in the meantime you can get your earlybird tickets now at liverpoolmusicweek.com Back On The Beaten Track After a two-year hiatus ABOVE THE BEATEN TRACK festival returns on 30th August, now embraced as part of the sprawling Liverpool International Music Festival programme. The Bluecoat will once again be the setting for this free event, which sees a great swathe of musicians, DJs and artists come together for a celebration of emerging creativity. SUNSTACK JONES and ME AND DEBOE (pictured) will be among the festival’s musical headliners, and the soirée will also play host to THE WILD WRITERS, SCREENADELICA and a CAPSTAN’S BAZARR CRAFT FAYRE. Add in NIAMH JONES, PAUL STRAWS plus a host more and it all amounts to a rich selection. Eyes On The Prize COMPETITION! Fancy winning yourself twelve months of professional music industry management and mentoring, plus studio recording time and a year of free rail travel? Of course you do. Well it’s about time you entered the MERSEYRAIL SOUND STATION PRIZE 2014, which is offering this fantastic opportunity for emerging local talent to get an invaluable leg-up in the music industry. Details of how to enter at the next Central Station upload day on 9th August – as well as an exclusive live session with The Mono LPs – can be found on the latest instalment of the Sound Station Podcast, available at merseyrailsoundstation.com FESTEVOL returns to The Kazimier Garden on 9th August, once again sporting an impressive line-up of Merseyside’s biggest of big guns. The all-day event always offers a feast of live music on which to gorge, with the past two years’ offerings among the highlights of the gig calendar. STEALING SHEEP (pictured) have been hidden away producing their second album since the turn of the year, and they make a rare venture out from the studio to headline FestEvol, joined on stage by some friends and special guests. BY THE SEA, VEYU and THE TEA STREET BAND also share top billing on the event, which features a host of DJs and the cream of local musical talent. We’ve managed to scoop a pair of tickets to give away in this month’s competition, which may be yours if you successfully navigate this testing piece of trivia: What precious mineral features in the title of Stealing Sheep’s 2012 debut album? a) Corundum b) Diamond c) Talc To enter, just email your answer to competition@bidolito.co.uk by 7th August. All the correct answers will be placed in a big pink tombola, with the winner selected at random and notified by email. Good luck! Erkin Koray Elektronik Türküler DOĞAN PLAKCILIK Turkish rock wizard ERKIN KORAY was already a controversial figure in 1974 when he turned in this seminal record. Elektronik Türküler’s fusion of traditional Turkish meanderings and Cream/Led Zepindebted blasts of blues psych was way ahead of its time. If the region of Anatolia were to have an anthem, this would be it: East meeting West in fluent harmony. Electric Würms Musik, Die Schwer Zu Twerk BELLA UNION Acid will fry your brains kids – don’t do it. Leave it up to trained psychopaths Wayne Coyne and Steven Drozd to skirt the lunatic edges of the cortex instead, and listen with terror and amazement to the results. If this record makes you want to dig out your Yes records, you’re safe; if it makes you want to get a tattoo of Miley Cyrus’s dog, call a doctor. Dignan Porch Observatory FAUX DISCX The evolution of Joe Walsh continues, with his bedroom project now swelling to become a full band concern. There’s no compromise on the lo-fi feel though, with the band filling out the scratchy aesthetic with a bit more background fuzz. Wait & Wait & Wait is the closest Observatory gets to a proper song, and the closest you want it to get to one. The Proper Ornaments Wooden Head FORTUNA POP With one Chelsea-booted foot in the past and one Desert-booted foot in the present, THE PROPER ORNAMENTS straddle that boundary between fey retroists and hip, guitar-toting raconteurs with insouciant ease. Spindly, whimsical melodies carelessly tumble over each other on Wooden Head, as though the ghosts of The Velvets and The La’s have reunited for one final spin. bidolito.co.uk
