Event Preview: TRM @ The Lovely Job IV



Summer 2011 is now over, what better way is there to embrace the winter than donning your new winter coat and heading out to catch some live music? Liverpool's staple indie night returns to The Zanzibar on Friday 30th September with an eclectic array of artists on board for what shapes up to be yet another memorable evening. I will again be providing the soundtrack to the interludes, whilst simultaneously celebrating my 26th birthday. A birthday celebration it may be, however the party music shall not be stretching to Jive Bunny and Bad Manners. Expect classic cuts of hip hop and soul blended with guitar music that spans the decades. Given the nature of this month's headliners there could also be scope to dabble in a little bit of the electronic music that this here blog is so usually concerned with.

Our headliners this month are Killaflaw, an act who have dominated the Liverpool scene for a number of years now. That's not to say they are exclusive to this fair city, far from it having built up a strong following in the capital including none other than XFM's Eddie Temple Morris who has tipped these guys for success predicting that their forthcoming album is to make waves akin to The Prodigy, Oasis and Kasabian, high praise indeed. Take this opportunity to catch them for five British pounds in the intimate Zanzibar while you can.

Assisting Killaflaw in headline duties are resident band Tone Puppets who are fresh from overcoming adversity to deliver a scintillating headline performance on their return to London. The band are currently working on a new single as they look to push on from the success of 'Ignore' and will be likely trying out a couple of new bits on the Liverpool faithful. They were recently interviewed for Liverpool lifestyle website Seven Streets and the interview can be read by clicking this link.

Elsewhere providing support for Killaflaw and Tone Puppets during the evening's festivities will be Post Romantics, a band who with their duel lead vocals have been likened to The Libertines. Continuing with the pop rock theme are a relatively new Liverpool act in The 10 B's who received glowing reviews from their performances at the August Matthew Street fringe festival. The Wild Eyes will be bringing a psychedelic edge to proceedings. Breaking up the Liverpool love in at this month's event will be Sunderland's own Lilliput their driven acoustic indie rock will be an excellent way to kick off the evening. Finally last but not least is acoustic singer/song writer Ian Dunn who is my tip for the best of the rest. With a melancholic chord progressions and an emotive voice Dunn is likely to offer up an intimate showcase of his inner musings.
