6th. Blue. Avenue – blistering blues rock three piece step into the breech with style. Lorenza Wildcard – hot to trot young female pop rock stylist whose musical style has been compared to Blondie, Joan Jett & the Blackhearts, The Runaway, Miley Cyrus, Gwen Stefani, The White Stripes, The Record Company, The Bones of J.R. Jones, and The Rolling Stones. The Beautiful Game – longstanding Bugbear/Dublin Castle appointees- you can always rely on these guys and gal to cook up an intense, body movin’ live experience, taking their cues from The Stone Roses, The Strokes, Buzzcocks and Oasis. Great band. The Locals – an evening of great music, so why not some choice covers in the mix, performed by these Essexy buggers. Whelligan – crafted Mersey pop that takes inspiration from some of those local heroes, like The Teardrop Explodes, Wah!, The Coral and yeah maybe even The Fabs but probably more OMD! And that ‘70s psych into prog Brit rock vibe too, always prevalent in Liverpool.
