Tim Peaks Diner lineup at Liverpool Sound City
Cabbage: Manchester quintet serving up jarring post-punk rhythms and dystopian crunches summed up perfectly in debut EP Le Chou.
Hot Vestry: Genre-straddling indie-pop quartet from Macclesfield with big hooks and light-hearted flourishes, best known for their spiky live shows.
Phereomoans: Six-piece experimental DIY group, over the years they’ve released a mixture of records on a series of labels each with an underlying rock ethic and diverse lyricisms.
Tear
Tear: Beautifully seductive decadence from London, currently releasing music on Burgess’ own Ogenesis Recordings. Desperate love tales of doom and gloom.
Bear Growls: ‘The purveyor of cosmic boogie.’ Diverse festival friendly sounds taking influence from Greg Wilson among others, ranging from Disco to Soul and everything in-between.
Bowie Disco: Exactly what it says on the tin. David Bowie tunes and a lotta groovin’.
Riding The Low: Socially acceptable indie-rock fronted by actor Paddy Considine. Sure to satisfy the sober and disorientate the drunk.
Blueprint Blue: Three-piece from London who’s 70s influenced EP Undertoad is a brilliantly British take on an American style with layers and effects fueling a raw energy that is sure to take to the live stage like a duck to water.
Beds In Parks
Beds In Parks: London-based blend of Psychocandy era Jesus and Mary Chain and The Vaselines, stretching lo-fi gritty DIY boundaries to the max. Single, Mabel (When It Gets Dark) is primed for the festival stage.
Documenta: Belfast born cosmic drone-pop band with two albums under their belt. Minimalist 80s guitar influnced rhythms with psychedelic styling.
Yucatan: Welsh mountain men with etchings of dazzling weirdness. Music that just seeps into your pores. The word unique gets thrown around a lot these days but Yucatan are genuinely that, with bells on.
The Tinun’s: French girl-power rock group whose debut EP Olga In The Wave is a genuine belter and sure to shake up the Sound City festival site, big time.
All in all Tim Peaks Diner is set to bring a whole new dimension to Liverpool Sound City this summer and with the further promise of guest DJs and the best coffee around, why would you want to miss it!
