The third installment of TRM’s residency at Liverpool’s stalwart bi-monthly indie night The Lovely Job is scheduled for Friday 29th July at its usual home of The Zanzibar on Seel Street in central Liverpool. With a tantalising line up as ever the night is shaping up to be full of fresh new music not to mention the usual fun and frolics. Resident band Tone Puppets return after having the night off for the last event. They are fresh off the back of delivering an epic performance in The Monto in Kings Cross, London which saw a pretty rowdy mosh pit develop during 'Ignore'. Tone Puppets certainly left their mark on the capital, so much so the next installment of The London Job has already been confirmed! (More info at the end of this post). Expect high energy, great tracks and who knows maybe mosh pit part two!
Also on the bill are a Liverpool band who are causing a bit of a stir lately in Bird, recipients of regular radio airplay, their music is very atmospheric and has a folky feel, Phantoms actually reminds me in certain ways of Warpaint and regular readers of the blog will know how much I love Warpaint. I also love a good female vocal and this band certainly have one of those in abundance, its no wonder they have been selected to join Tone Puppets on the bill at the next edition of The London Job, in addition to gracing this month's Liverpool installment.
Support comes from the elusive Slow Motion Stranger (Ian Ruddock) from whom you can expect an acoustically driven performance which will encapsulate facets of blues, fock, funk, folk and even Asian music. With his complex structures Ian Ruddock creates a strong dark and twisted atmosphere whenever he plays and will certainly offer something for The Lovely Job audience to think about. The evening is also the place to catch a rare Liverpool performance from Chris Selmen who brings a full band back with him to the city where it all began to play tracks from his new longplayer 'All or Nothing'. The next band on the line up are a 3 piece outfit who have been described as having a 60's Merseybeat sound with a slight psychedelic edge, so when The Romley's take to the stage there is a chance that the Zanzibar may be akin to a certain Eric's nightclub. Completing the bill and performing live together for the very first time will be Sons of Caligula, replacing Chemical Casino, who unfortunetly had to pull out.

Debuting upstairs on July 29th is going to be long time Lovely Job favourite DJ Dean Mack who begins his new party 'Uptight' where he will be playing a variety of northern soul, mod, ska and reggae in between two acoustic performances by Mark James and Western Promise. For more information about Uptight check out their official Facebook group.
As ever this blog will be providing the backing soundtrack to the evening downstairs, the date of this edition of The Lovely Job is sandwiched in between my visits to Melt! festival in Germany and The Big Chill, not to mention much time spent watching the TV coverage of Glastonbury and T in the Park. So expect a heavy emphasis on music that will be rocking this summers festivals, maybe even a little Beyonce (well more likely Destiny's Child) well if she is good enough for Glastonbury! For an insight of what to expect check out the post about my top 10 acts to catch at Melt! and keep your eyes peeled for a post in a similar vein about my trip to The Big Chill. Also enjoy the below hour selection of tracks that I put together for my own aural enjoyment during my flight to Berlin, many of these have featured at past TRM appearances at The Lovely Job.
The Lovely Job kicks off at the earlier time of 7pm with upstairs opening with Australian comedy folk duo 'Anyone For Tennis?' who are due to take the stage at 7.30pm with yours truly kicking off proceedings at a similar time downstairs. The event takes place on Friday July 29th 2011, the door charge for the night is £5. If you are planning to come, why not let us know by clicking 'Attending' on the official Facebook event or by using the official hashtag #thelovelyjob to discuss the event on Twitter.
