We are pleased to announce more acts to this years Liverpool Music Week Festival. 5 piece indie rave band New Young Pony Club have been added to the launch weekend of events taking place at Carling Academy Liverpool. This indie/electronica band from London, take their influence from new wave bands such as Talking Heads and Blondie, they have smashed the festival circuit and were one of the many highlights at this years Creamfields festival.
In keeping with the ethos behind Liverpool Music Week, some of the cream of the north wests freshest talent have been confirmed including Candie Payne whose dulcet tones give a firm nod towards the classic 60s sound, Wirral based trio The Rascals, a firm favourite with the Arctic Monkeys having supported them this year and have been holed up in the studio producing their debut EP which is set for release in November, plus 2 other bands from the Deltasonic stable, Wigan band The Suzukis, a great guitar band with attitude, and The Tigerpicks, which comprises of two girls and one boy and a music manifesto which rewrites the indie dancefloor rulebook. Plus no north west musical bill would be complete without rock and roll rompers The Maybes?, this indie quartet have been cropping up everywhere from basement venues to sunshine gigs in the park. This is the tip of the iceberg for local bands performing at this years Liverpool Music Week with lots more still to be announced over the coming weeks.
Other acts confirmed to perform are Liverpool based punk rock band Hot Club De Paris, a band that have achieved critical acclaim following their tours with Jamie T & Maximo Park. They will be joined by XFMs John Kennedy, a guru of the soon to be great and Go Faster, all of these will be performing alongside headliners Good Shoes a band that have been compared to the likes of The Jam and The Futureheads. A perfect line up to kick off the 11 day festival.
