Sick is a new Liverpool live music night from Read the Fanzine promotions - bringing you the best local and touring bands.

This month's selection:

Strawhouses

"STRAWHOUSES is all about that feeling that we're living blissfully unaware that we're on unsteady ground.



Their musical influences are diverse; from the melody kings of Radiohead, REM and U2, to the tribal beats of Killing Joke, to the darkest moments of Joy Division and The Smiths. "

Fake Union

"FAKE UNION is a project that strives to make thoughtful music. Making songs that are edgy and uncomfortable is what they are good at. So they keep doing it, with smiles on their faces and fists in the air!"

Coma

Details coming soon...

Rachael Dunn

"Rachael Dunn dazzles with warm, sweet, intoxicating vocals and gorgeous insightful songs."
Jade Wright - Liverpool Echo

The Filthy Tongues record theme for "New Town Killers"

I was delighted to hear recently that The Filthy Tongues who played Read the Fanzine back in December 2006 have recorded the theme music to a new Scottish Film called "New Town Killers" - dubbed the new Trainspotting.

Whilst any film that proclaims to be the new "whatever" sometimes turns out to be bargain bin reject fodder, this one actually looks the business and is directed by Richard Jobson ex-frontman of Dunfermline band The Skids.

The single is a cracker and has already been played by Lauren Laverne on BBC 6 Music. The bands previous incarnations, Goodbye Mr Mackenzie and Angelfish never gained the level of recognition they so richly deserved. Lets hope that this film emulates the success of Trainspotting and brings the Tongues to a wider audience.

What is Read The Fanzine?

Read the Fanzine is a DIY live music club night which was originated in London by two mates who came up with the idea after one too many drinks

In this website I document how the night got started, review each night so far, and finally talk about what we intend to do in the future, not to mention what some of the bands that played are up to now

One of the hardest things I found about putting on live gigs was getting information since most promoters like to keep their cards close to their chest.

This website not only documents the Read the Fanzine and Keep your ears Peeled nights as a reminder to those who were lucky enough to be in attendance, but can also be useful as a resource to those thinking of doing their own nights as I describe some of the pitfalls we ran into and the highs and lows.
