@LpoolPsychFest - A BRIEF VISUAL REVIEW...

So we've made it back from Liverpool Psych Fest & wow, what a weekend...

From pitching up at 6pm Friday until we left 4am Sunday there was just too much good stuff on across the Camp, Furnace & Blade Factory spaces so for now, rather then try to recap every band we saw here's a selection of random photos & video taken at various psyched points....

MOON DUO IN THE FURNACE

THE BLADE FACTORY VISUALS

THE FURNACE FOR PSYCHIC ILLS

SONICBOOM HAD AN ART GALLERY THERE...

SCARY HOODS AHEAD OF CLINIC

 

BEHIND THE DECKS IN THE FURNACE

Massive congrats / props to Tom, Craig, Nicko & everyone else involved in the Festival, was amazing. We loved DJ-ing on Saturday night & even better, checking out about 12 months of bands in just over 2 days. Bring on next year....

BLADE FACTORY PANORAMA

AFTER PARTY LOCATION

@LPOOLPSYCHFEST this weekend... Camp and Furnance, L1

Lifted from the Akoustik Anarkhy news blog....

After all the fun of it's hugely successful 2012 debut, Liverpool Psych Festival returns this weekend for a two day programme of pretty much psych-perfection. 

Here's what they say...

"The Liverpool International Festival Of Psychedelia returns this September for two days of worship. This is the UK's largest celebration of psychedelic sub-culture.

Liverpool Psych Fest celebrates artists operating at the cutting edge of today's global psychedelic renaissance, alongside visual art, film, performance and mind expanding visual delights"

"A 150 microgram hit" The Quietus

Which is pretty bang on. 

The line up of live acts is listed below & we're DJ-ing from about 11.30 in the Furnace on Saturday night, just before Peaking Lights - pop by & say hi...if it's ready in time we hope to debut a certain aA act's new material...

LIVE RECORDING from Löffel at The Spoon Inn, August 2013

We recorded last Sunday's Löffel at The Spoon Inn in Chorlton, Manchester. Check out the Soundcloud link below or click the downloads...it's just the first part as the levels go a bit off later on. Very down lo music, Sunday afternoon-suitable.

THE FULL LYRICS TO BIGGIE SMALLS' 'JUICY' IN VISUAL FORM | RAP TYPOGRAPHY

LOVE THIS. Via Ego Trip, 'The lyrics to Biggie's 'Juicy' - illustrated....'

Here's an explanation, with a selection of the artwork posted below. 

"Part of the late, great Christopher “Notorious B.I.G.” Wallace‘s immense talent as a lyricist was his ability to craft rhymes so memorable you could practically visualize them. Designer/illustrator/lettering artist Jay Roeder obviously agrees. Self described as being “addicted to drawing letters, lyrics and random stuff,” Roeder devoted a series of fly illustrations to Biggie’s lyrics from his breakthrough hit, “Juicy,”

New poster for Eighty Six Autumn schedule @ De Nada, Chorlton

New poster just done for Eighty Six's Autumn Fridays at De Nada in Chorlton, Manchester. 

Bump: Löffel Bank Holiday Special this Sunday at The Spoon Inn, August 25th

A quick reminder that Löffel returns to The Spoon Inn this Sunday for a Bank Holiday Special. 

DJs will be Tom (aA) & Ed (Climate Control Radio) with percussion by Deadbeatz & we'll be starting around 3pm, running through to closing around 10.30pm. 

There's a few other things going on later on in Chorlton too, Nado @ Electrik & Eighty Six / Red Deer @ Beagle, so you can make a day / night of it....

PEA TANG CLAN

Spotted these in an issue of LoDown over the weekend - must be the thing, week after The Smiths-inspired This Charming Charlie

VENUE RECOMMEND, LEEDS: Outlaws Yacht Club / Joe's Bakery

Last night, Jeff & me DJ'd for Eighty Six @ Outlaws Yacht Club on New York Street in Leeds city centre, on a 5pm til 11pm thing. If you're over that way make sure you pop in - ale selection is great, venue is nicely laid out, the staff are ace & it's all very chilled.

We didn't record last night but check out this mix from their monthly 'Joe's Bakery' :

We did take some photos though: 

& the last track, as asked by the bar staff, was the B side of this (cannot find the A side on YouTubez...)

Was good to play these trax out though: 

  

Eighty Six @ Outlaws Yacht Club, Leeds this Friday

Eighty Six

This Friday I'm DJing with Eighty Six at their monthly for Outlaws Yacht Club in Leeds, from about 5pm til closing.  Really looking forward to checking out the venue. 

Click here for the Facebook event info. Free entry too. 

For more info on Outlaws, have a look through this recent Test Pressing interview with the guys behind it, Craig and Joe.

There's great events taking place there week to week, especially 'Joe's Bakery' each last Saturday plus they've got a birthday special on September 28th with Amnesia original, Leo Mas. 

Well worth checking out, food & drink menu meant to be very good too.

Looking forward very much to DJing at this year's Liverpool Psych Fest - the line up is just getting better & better...

If you've not got your tickets yet then do so here, quick quick as it's gonna sell out very soon...

See below for the latest updates, breath in....

27th and 28th September 2013 - Camp & Furnace, Liverpool

With the announcement of final line-up additions and the release of single day tickets on Tuesday 30^th July, LIVERPOOL INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL OF PSYCHEDELIA announce a limited edition 7” vinyl on their new imprint label PZYK.

The record will feature previously unheard tracks from Lorelle Meets The Obsolete (Sonic Cathedral/Captcha Records) and Maston (Trouble In Mind), as well as tracks from festival headliners Moon Duo (Souterrain Transmissions/Sacred Bones) and Clinic (Domino). PZYK 0001 will be limited to a specific number of copies, and will be given away FREE, exclusively to people who purchase weekend tickets from Bido Lito! (see link below). The records will be allocated on a first come first served basis: once they are gone successful purchasers will be contacted with details of how they can collect their record at the event.

WEEKEND WRISTBANDS + FREE 7” RECORD: CLICK HERE 

In addition, Liverpool Psych Fest are delighted to unveil the complete bill of artists for this year’s event, with Heavenly Recordings’ scuzzed-up East End rockers CHARLIE BOYER AND THE VOYEURS, and cinematic diviners of psych LOLA COLT added to the programme. Orlando’s STRANGERS FAMILY BAND will be continuing their proggy tour through the outer reaches of blistering rock by teaming up with Dead Meadow again at Liverpool Psych Fest. Glaswegian psychonauts THE COSMIC DEAD are joined by CAMERA, Berlin’s latest wunderkinds of drone, with the deliciously raw garage rock of TELEGRAM and Manchester’s sonic wanderers BASE VENTURA completing the stunning roster.

Individual day line-ups have also been finalised, with the opening night (Friday 27^th September) featuring MOON DUO, DEAD MEADOW and PSYCHIC ILLS. Running from 5pm – 4am, Friday also sees performances from THE HOLYDRUG COUPLE, NIGHT BEATS, KLAUS JOHANN GROBE and CARLTON MELTON.

The live action on Saturday 28^th September begins at 2pm, with CLINIC, FUZZ, THE BESNARD LAKES, HOOKWORMS, WHITE MANNA and a PEAKING LIGHTS SOUNDSYSTEM keeping things running until 4am. Individual day tickets are available to purchase now, and full breakdowns of the running orders for each day can be found on the accompanying poster, or at www.liverpoolpsychfest.com.

BBC 6 Music’s MARC RILEY will be performing an exclusive DJ set at the festival this year, following on from recent live sessions with Psych Fest artists Hookworms, Telegram and Moon Duo. The award winning DJ has a sharp ear for today’s cutting edge sounds, so expect his set to be nothing short of an education. Founder of the consistently stunning Finders Keepers Records, ANDY VOTEL, will be playing an exclusive "Heavy Global Psych" set especially programmed for the festival.

RICHARD HECTOR-JONES (Never Been Caught, Slut Smalls Records) and BERNIE CONNOR (Bernie Connor’s The Sound Of Music) will be  performing an exclusive back-to-back DJ set, while proprietor of the longest running alternative music show on radio, Roger Hill, brings his PURE MUSICAL SENSATIONS playlist to the turntables. SONIC CATHEDRAL will be reprising their role on the 1s and 2s this year, along with TROUBLE IN MIND RECORDS’ DJ PSYCHED ALEX, and Shindig! Magazine’s SI NORFOLK. All of these will be joining existing disc spinners RICHARD NORRIS (The Time And Space Machine, Beyond The Wizard’s Sleeve) and Super Furry Animals collaborator PETE FOWLER.

The festival’s DJ selection already includes BAD VIBRATIONS, THE BLACK MARIAH, FAUX DISCX vs GRINGO RECORDS, THE GREAT POP SUPPLEMENT, AKOUSTIK ANARKHY, JOE McKECHNIE and CAFÉ DEL LAR.

This is all in addition to a bill already consisting of -

MOON DUO (USA), CLINIC (UK), FUZZ (USA), DEAD MEADOW (USA), THE BESNARD LAKES (CAN), PEAKING LIGHTS SOUNDSYSTEM (USA), WHITE MANNA (USA), PSYCHIC ILLS (USA), NIGHT BEATS (USA), THE HOLYDRUG COUPLE (Chile), HOOKWORMS (UK) and tonnes more.

The festival features a stage curated by the stunningly consistent TROUBLE IN MIND RECORDS, who will be making the trip across the Atlantic from Chicago bringing a cohort of their artists along for the ride. Liverpool Psych Fest will also host an exclusive hook-up with the gloriously antagonistic MORDANT MUSIC who bring an audiovisual MORDANT MUSIC MiasMa to the festival.

The full programme of visual arts, projections, film and additional kaleidoscopic delights will be announced later this summer, ahead of the festival in September.
