Liverpool Sound City are delighted to announce that The Maccabees will play 2 shows at Liverpool’s 02 Academy on the closing day of the festival. With two sterling albums under their belt including last year’s 'Wall of Arms' The Maccabee’s recently collaborated with Roots Manuva and are at the forefront of the new British music movement as they headline this years’ Shockwaves NME Awards tour.
Also fresh on the line up are The Sunshine Underground whose album 'Nobody’s Coming to Save You' was released to all round acclaim this month. Based in Leeds and known for their high octane funk and punk sound they’re well placed next to local lads Hot Club de Paris for delivering engaging live shows. Born and bred in Liverpool Hot Club de Paris shot to success 4 years ago with their debut album 'Drop it til it Pops' and have since toured all over the world. Joining them in Liverpool will be Welsh rock royalty Attack! Attack! and local rock n roll legend Ian McNabb has also been confirmed to play a one off special Sound City show.
From further afield, Canada’s Chilly Gonzales will be performing an exclusive piano and talk based show on the converted altar, at the palatially transformed ex-church, Alma De Cuba. Gonzales’ collaborations with such diverse artists as Peaches, Jane Birkin and Feist reflect the diversity of his approach and are an indication to his unique live style and performance. This show will be a must see!
