Sallow Pillow
Sallow Pillow headlined a top class bill at the Cavern, Getintothis’ Jenn Cliff-Wilcock saw the light.
The Cavern Club is a truly special place.
Tonight was a memorable night in introducing and empowering fierce, emerging Merseyside talent: Brothers of Mine, Chicken Man and the Bad Eggs, and Sallow Pillow; who took to the stage in the Cavern Club for their rite-of-passage performance with Radio Merseyside’s Dave Monks hosting the night.
First on from Liverpool’s music scene family tree, are Brothers of Mine. They were debuting their new single Electricity and promoting their earlier single Feel.
They played a set that was sleeping, eating and breathing thrashy-Ride-like-guitars, as well as including trippy influences with hints towards neo-psychedelia contrived from their echoey vocals, all of which got the crowd moving and singing-along.
Next up, straight from the coop, was Chicken Man and the Bad Eggs.
An in-your-face five-piece indie rock and punk band coming from St Helens.
For their set the Bad Eggs played to strengths with post-punk guitar riffs and a ‘fuck you/I’m fucked’ style of lyricism and vocals.
Truly embodying the working-class northern rock spirit, which is especially demonstrated in their singles Peter Pan and S.O.S., both of which entrench their chaotic but articulate social/political and rock agenda.
Despite the few hitches i.e. breaking a bass string, they definitely got their fellow St Helens bad eggs moshing along.

The finale was Sallow Pillow, a three-piece psych band that’s more mind-opening than sitting in the dark on shrooms for four hours trying to meet ‘God’.
As has been confirmed by the reliable news source of Sallow Pillow, that Jesus is indeed, from Bootle.

The band, who spawned in Liverpool, made an impactful first-impression at the Cavern playing some of their heavy, and slightly grungy, but definitely psych-rock, EP tunes such as Part-Time Parisian and the more chaotic but totally honest Cbdbs.
All while in a neon flower ridden forest of their own making.
