The Coathangers + Salt the Snail + Piss Kitti @ Arts Club, Liverpool – Review

Posted by John W. King | Wednesday 1 May 2019 | Gigs

The Coathangers + Salt the Snail + Piss Kitti Arts Club, Seel St, Liverpool Tuesday 30th April 2019 I only discovered The Coathangers fairly recently. I received a press release about their single Step Back. It’s pretty awesome, so I had a listen to a few of their other songs: Watch Your Back is another top tune. as is “Down Down” so I decided to listen to the current album “The Devil You Know”. I was sold! I checked for tour dates, but at that time they were all in the USA – I mean they are good and...

CHROMATICS announce full European tour dates including UK shows in London, Manchester, Bristol & Glasgow

After announcing their first public concerts in over 5 years, Chromatics is set to take the stage all...

My first Shiiine On was the all-dayer in Birmingham last year, and it was pretty much everything I wanted or expected, and more! A friendly crowd enjoying great music and vibe. But what’s even better than an All-Dayer? How about a Weekender! It...

Vera Sola + Elle Mary & The Bad Men Castle Hotel, Oldham Street Manchester Anyone who reads this blog religiously (are you mad???) may be getting bored of my story about how I found out about Vera Sola, so I’ll be brief! Many years ago whilst checking out artists at Summer Sundae Weekender on spotify, a Canadian artist called Dan Mangan jumped out at me and my missus, he did a great set and he was even staying at the same hotel so we had a chat and he was a top bloke. So when we heard he was...
