Wave Goodbye to The Kronos, at Kazimier

New Year’s Eve is a special time in Wolstenholme Square. And we’re not talking about Tiësto flying in for a two hour set. Oh no. We’re talking about the continuing adventures of folk who live next door (well, we say next door. In some ways, they could well live a million light years distant). We’re [...]

Radar: Wild Nothing

American indie dreamers, Wild Nothing, come to salve our troubled souls this March, with their blend of straight up pop, and wistful observations on love, loss and loneliness. Reverb, rattling percussion, hazy guitars and hook-laden mini masterpieces single out Jack Tatum’s second outing, Nocturne. If anything, we like it better than debut, Gemini. And THAT [...]

Behind The Mask: Wave Machines Grow Up

When times are tough, it’s the little luxuries that get us through. A flat white in BSC, a wee dram or two on Burns’ Night, a sheepskin-lined onesie. Whatever works. Thankfully, we’ve got the soundtrack to soothe us on our way to better days. Wave Machines are back with a full fat stew of seductive [...]

Radar: Ulrich Schnauss at Liverpool Kazimier

German electronic pioneer Ulrich Schnauss brings his indie electronica to Liverpool this spring, with a rare city show. He’ll be promoting his new set, A Long Way To Fall, but no doubt diving into his sublime back catalogue of melancholic, percussive electronica. Teutonic beats with a warm heart. It’s spellbinding stuff, at turns (as with [...]

Radar: Purity Ring at Kazimier

We can’t get enough of Purity Ring. Which is handy, as they’re coming here, on a promise. Can we guarantee we’ll be faithful when they’ve gone? Probably not. But for now, they’re our favourites, and we can – just – wait til Wednesday. Yes, we’re secretly a bit Canadian when it comes to this duo’s [...]

Radar: Stealing Sheep’s new video, ‘Rearrange’

What a year it’s been for those Stealing Sheep ladies. We can’t think of any Liverpool band that’s received as warm a welcome into the world. Sell out gig after sell out gig has confirmed their place in the city’s hearts – not to mention Radio 1′s, 6 Music’s and audiences across Europe. Oh, and [...]

Radar: Peace at Kazimier

Math rock with tunes. Why didn’t anyone else think of this? Peace astutely marry twitchy, jagged guitars with Kraut noodlings and occasional incursions into indie techno. Yes, it’s all very now, and very Foals, but Peace’s particular blend of “dark melodic” music (their words) sets them slightly apart from the pack. In a good way. [...]

A Kazimier New Year

There’s no special event like a Kazimier special event. So when they drop a tantalising video like this, you know that all bets are off. We’ve seen sharks and spacemen and journeys to the lake at the centre of the earth. We’ve seen brass bands and masked balls, debutantes and oddballs. And we’ve, apparently, not [...]

Radar: Poltergeist

Kraut rock, psych rock, space rock, old kids on the block rock… call it what you will, Poltergeist is the new project from Echo and The Bunnymen guitarist Will Sergeant, joining forces once again with legendary bassist Les Pattinson (now ensconced in Wild Swans) – an instrumental journey into the netherlands of Sergeant’s wilfully esoteric, [...]

With their first show for over a year, Wave Machines headline the night, and after hearing their latest single, ‘Ill Fit’, we’re sure excited (are [...]

Radar: The Selector Show

Focussing on the music scene in Liverpool, the ace Selector Show heads to town next week. On the bill, SevenStreets faves Dan Croll, All We Are, Jethro Fox and Black Swans. The performances, at the Kazimier, are being recorded for broadcast on a future Selector Radio show special. A fairer representation of the sound of [...]

Radar: A Culture Less Ordinary

There are two certain truths in life: you should only attempt tackling a full inverted body roll in lycra whilst pressed against a very understanding friend (and on an empty stomach), and that the Culture Less Ordinary nights are jolly good fun. So, we’re happy to announce the return of that Audio Voyeur and Rebel [...]

Fall Backwards: October Club Highlights

These next 28 days are gonna be very messy indeed. We’ve got a leviathan of a birthday party, the reawakenings of some city favourites, and the return of a much-loved Coke-peddling producer (c’mon, those Olympic adverts were dire)… Cream Birthday 6th & 13th October To celebrate reaching their landmark 20th birthday, Cream has opted for [...]

Radar: Lindstrøm at Kazimier

He’s a bit of a hero of ours. He writes 8 minute blissful techno operas called Boney M Down. He’s Norwegian. And he’s over here. We’re officially excited about Lindstrøm’s imminent appearance at the Kazimier (and surprised that this is the second post today featuring Boney M. Oh, those Russians) Expect stuff from his new [...]

Radar: Fiesta Bombarda

How do you celebrate the setting of the summer sun? With a fiesta, of course. And, with the more than capable hands of Fiesta Bombarda, you can be sure the summer sun will set in style. That they’ve moved from the Bombed Out church to the Kazimier shows what can happen in the space of [...]
