The Music of Liverpool and Merseyside

[Paul D]

Here we go we can all talk about our favourite bands to our hearts content now.Bunnyman,Matt Kev and me are keen concert goers are there any others? What great Liverpool bands have you seen and who were the best?

I've seem Echo and The Bunnymen,Ian McNabb,Cast,Paul McCartney,The Dead 60's,The Coral and The Lightning Seeds.

It's hard to pick the best night because all were brilliant for different reasons,Cast and The Lightning Seeds were the best laugh,McCartney obviously had the best stage show and The Coral were just nutters and The Dead 60's were amazing,I'll defo see them next time.Anyone else like to add to this.

Saw the Dead 60s about four times supporting Morrissey. Wasn't into them first time, but by the end I thought they were pretty catchy. My deputy head's son used to be in them and left to concentrate on his university studies just before they got signed. Doh!!

[matt]

Saw the Icicle Works twice before they split and I've seen McNabb loads. He doesn't disappoint live and plays really long shows. The Icicle Works Christmas gigs were legendary!!

Any Half Man Half Biscuit fans out there. . . . . .

That must have been a sickener because they'll be around for a while.

I've only seen him once and loved it and he did a brilliant version of All Along The Watchtower which was the perfect ending to a gig.Everyone likes HMHB even if it's just for comedy value alone.

Here's a couple of videos from The Dead 60's how can anybody not like this?

When they come out on stage they come out to air raid sirens and it instantly gets you in the mood.

This a thread that I really like, I have not seen many of the 'newer' Merseyside bands, coral, zutons, the dead 60s, Gomez. There are not many of the older bands that I have not seen, Bunnymen, Teardrops, HMHB, The La's, the Farm, The High Five, Wah, Western Promise, The 25th of May, 16 Tambourines, The Lotus Eaters, Cook do Books, The Room, Ded Byrds,Icicle Works, the list is endless of fantastic talent.

Which is the best local gig that you have been to?

I've got a couple of albums by them and they're really good,got ripped off by Oasis because they reckon Definitely Maybe was essentially theirs and they won an undisclosed sum in an out of court settlement so they must have had a case.I think they were later credited on Columbia and Rockin' Chair if I'm not mistaken? I think they're from your neck of the woods aren't they?
