Bido Lito!

October 2012 issue - out now

In Issue 27, we catch up with avant-garde noise core trio BARBEROS, bedecked in Lycra, to talk about the boundary-less nature of their new record OOO; DAN CROLL is a man who is going places, so we pinned him down for a chat before his new single From Nowhere takes him beyond the 6Music buzz and in to the stratosphere; Bill Sykes' book SIT DOWN! LISTEN TO THIS!, a biography of Eric's and Twisted Wheel founder Roger Eagle, is such a good read that sat Mr Sykes down to try and get under the skin of the man and legned; we delve in to the psychedelic world of Will Sergeant, and his new project POLTERGEIST, and how he feels liberated from the strains of Echo & The Bunnymen; ahead of his upcoming apperance at The Philharmonic Hall, JOHN COOPER CLARKE answers a few of our questions in his own inimitable style; Tom George's THE LIFE ORGANIC looks at the potential stifling of inner-city creativity due to Liverpool City Councul's various recent schemes and policies, and wonders if our city will ever be able to thrive in such circumstances; we talk to Emily Lansley about her experiences on the recent Discover Indian Music Courses as part of Milapfest, and discover that being out of your comfort zone can be a productive position; and BLACK MAGICIAN explain why their particular brand of metal music is more indebted to nature than black magic. This month's reviews section is better than ever, crammed with highlights from CATE LE BON, RHYS CHATHAM'S A CRIMSON GRAILS FOR 100 GUITARS, BEACONS FESTIVAL, NOEL GALLAGHER'S HIGH FLYING BIRDS, ALLO DARLIN', HOLY OTHER, GREEN MAN FESTIVAL, DEER TICK, ALL WE ARE and LARK LANE ACOUSTIC FESTIVAL.
