12 Bido Lito! May 2011 Words: John Still It’s back. After 2010’s triumphant event, Sound City returns to Liverpool this May, promising to be a far grander and more eclectic event than has been seen in previous years. LSC has garnered a reputation for bringing a mix of established global artists and hotly-tipped newcomers to Liverpool, as well as providing a stage for the cream of local talent. The festival has gained favourable comparisons with the internationally renowned South By Southwest Festival in Texas, and is run in much the same spirit as its transatlantic cousin. Both comprise a mix of high profile showcases for both artists and labels, and both spread the shows across several venues. In addition to the performance aspect, Sound City runs two days of conferences, discussing the finer details of the music industry on a local, national and international level. Topping the bill at the 2011 event are THE BLACK LIPS, selfproclaimed ‘flower-punks’, who headline The Masque theatre on 20th May. Support includes Liverpool psychobillies EL TORO!, whose recent album has been on constant rotation at Bido Lito! HQ. Scottish upstarts THE VIEW return to Liverpool promoting their upcoming third album Bread and Circuses. The band received rave reviews for debut album Hats off to the Buskers, and will hope that their new material fares equally well at the O2 Academy on 19th May. Fucked Up A must-see for the weekend, Canadian hardcore rock outfit FUCKED UP return to the North West for the third time in 12 months. The band have a universal appeal that their name belies, finding fans amongst hardcore aficionados, rock fans and even the indie-minded, having toured with Arcade Fire. Their 2010 appearance at The Kazimier was one of the most memorable of the year and they return to the same venue on 21st May. Also at the Kazimier, new favourites of BBC 6Music YUCK return to the city after their support of Modest Mouse in late 2010; and, with their debut album making waves on both sides of the Atlantic, their show on 19th May, supporting THE WHIP, is likely to be one of the hottest tickets in town. Leading the British contingent at LSC will be FRANK TURNER, a hardcore frontman turned folk-troubadour. After the short but memorable career of Million Dead, Frank reinvented himself and discovered a talent for acoustic protest songs. Recent albums Love, Ire and Song and Poetry of the Deed have made the UK charts; and, in this day and age, Thatcher Fucked the Kids should become one of the anthems of the festival. A major coup for the festival is securing an appearance from PHILIP SELWAY. Frank Turner www.bidolito.co.uk
