If you’ve got the wanderlust Pitchfork just announced their Paris music festival with the likes of Skepta, Chromatics, Belle & Sebastian, Slowthai and more performing over Halloween weekend.
Closer to home the latest in a great series of exhibits at the British Music Experience opened this week. Microdot showcases the best in a raft of iconic music design from the 90s with exclusive pieces from Oasis, The Verve, Super Furry Animals and more on show on the waterfront.
We’ve had words with Liverpool’s hottest jazz act Blind Monk Theory as the “supergroup” continues to show off the boss new jazz scene in Liverpool. This writer has got all jazzy too and recommends you all listen to The Cactus Channel’s new release.
Danny Boyle has a new film out and Getintothis were in the company of the man himself at the special screening and Q&A at Picturehouse at FACT this week.
It’s a Beatles film (no wait, hear us out) but a Beatles film asking what if the Fab Four didn’t exist and their music was released in present day. A question no doubt you’ve pondered and the film is a lot of fun too.
