Late-Night Parties Each year, Sound City’s late-night parties are a highlight of the weekend, attracting a wide range of people who are united by the desire to keep going til the early hours. On Saturday, Getintothis are hosting the official after-party at Hangar 34 with KING KHAN AND THE SHRINES. The Berlin-based band have a sound that blends psych, funk and soul, which is the perfect combination to keep the crowd going after a chaotic Saturday. They’re joined by some of the most exciting bands and artists on the current Liverpool circuit: KING HANNAH, PALE RIDER and BEIJA FLO. If you prefer something heavier, Abandon Silence are teaming up with Modu:lar to put on an after hours party of techno and house at District with HARRY SHEEHAN and NERRAM. Hope University Fine art students from LIVERPOOL HOPE UNIVERSITY have joined forces with Sound City this year to help design stage sets and projections at venues across the site. This creative project reflects the longstanding relationship between Sound City and Liverpool Hope Fine Art School, as well as giving the festival a splash of colour and vibrancy. The second-year students will be putting their skills into practice at big and small capacity venues. The result should be a great example of what can be achieved when students and the local music community work together. Quiet Zones At every music festival, chill-out areas are vital for when you need a moment to rest and recharge away from the busy crowds. One of the benefits of moving the festival back to the city is how easy it will be to delve in and out of the music – sometimes having a break from the noise is what you need to get going again. Plus, you can catch up with friends and absorb all the great live music you’ve seen. This year’s designated quiet zones will be at Coffee and Fandisha (Brick Street), the Botanical Gin Garden (New Bird Street) and Cain’s Brewery Tap (Stanhope Street), which are located right in the middle of the Baltic Triangle amongst all the lively venues that make up Sound City. Zandari Festa Regular Sound City partner ZANDARI FESTA is South Korea’s largest music showcase festival, which was established in 2012 and takes place in Seoul every year. On Saturday, head to the Constellations Garden where Zandari Festa will be bringing a taste of their festival to the heart of Liverpool. Gain an insight into the varied music scene in South Korea with a programme that covers indie rock, pop, folk, blues and jazz. Seoul-based DEAD BUTTONS will return after playing the festival in 2014, along with alt-rock duo NATIONAL PIGEON UNITY and the bluesier BILLY CARTER. We’re particularly excited for GONNE CHOI, a singer-songwriter with a beautifully hypnotic voice. Her unique sound has earned her recognition at a number of Korean music award shows, and she has played at UK festivals including Glastonbury. Constellations Garden – 05/05 National Pigeon Unity The Unusual Art Sourcing Company THE UNUSUAL ART SOURCING COMPANY was named one of the best events at Sound City 2017 so we’ve got high hopes for this year. Based in the courtyard of the historic Cain’s Brewery, the art pop-up will host life drawing, spoken word and poetry performances. Their main event will be a modern and highly comical adaptation of Mozart’s Così Fan Tutte by FLAT PACK MUSIC. Take a break from the indie bands that dominate the line-up, and venture into a new genre of music. The hilarious storyline, which involves fiancé swapping, means this is the perfect adaptation for Opera newbies and lovers alike. You can also keep a lookout for pop-up poet PADDY CLARKE, who will be roaming the festival throughout the weekend. Cosi Fan Tutte Cain’s Brewery Village Courtyard – 05/05-06/05 Modern Sky Head to District on Saturday where MODERN SKY RECORDS will be showcasing a number of up-and-coming artists from their impressive roster. Manchester-based punk rock trio THE BLINDERS will be headlining the showcase: the trio signed to Modern Sky last October and have since played with Peace and The Courteeners. NO HOT ASHES will deliver an exciting blend of pop, disco and funk as part of their UK tour. Liverpool’s SPINN – or the self-described “connoisseurs of jangly dream pop” – are playing earlier in the day and shouldn’t be missed. They have just released their self-titled EP and are also in the middle of a UK tour. District – 05/05 Hangar 34 – 06/05 The Blinders Greg Wilson: Credit To The Edit Celebrated DJ GREG WILSON has been charged with rounding off the weekend in style with his official after-party at Hangar 34. It’s the bank holiday, so there’s really no excuse for heading home early and missing what promises to be another knockout evening from one of Merseyside’s most celebrated DJs. Wilson will be launching Volume 3 of his Credit To The Edit compilation series, and is joined by PEZA, DEREK KAYE and VJ TRISTRAN BRADY-JACOBS. The night will go on until 5am, before we all head home, recover and wait for next year to come around. Entry is free with a festival wristband, or tickets can be bought separately. SOUND CITY 39
