Snowgoose—led by Jim McCulloch and Anna Sheard—release their third album "‘Descendant’. The record explores the intricate emotional landscape of love and loss, blending folk and psychedelic sounds with a stellar lineup of Scottish indie musicians including Raymond McGinley, Chris Geddes, and Stevie Jones.
Somewhere between rain-slicked streets and vintage preamps, Tigers & Flies assembled with newfound precision. The horns cut cleaner now, the rhythms lock tighter—something's shifted since the early days. When Matteo's trumpet converses with Risha's trombone, you hear a band that's found its voice by refusing the obvious path. What happens when five friends convene with purpose? Summer will reveal all.
March 25th sees La Violette Società's 54th gathering at Ten Streets Social, bringing together four distinct artistic voices for one unmissable evening.
Yesterday's Flowers deliver dreamy cosmic rock from Folkestone that's already caught BBC 6 Music's attention. Pys Melyn bring their twice Welsh Music Prize-nominated psychedelia from North Wales. Liverpool's own BITE blend psychedelic exploration with dancefloor-filling grooves, while poet Melanie Banim cuts through with unflinching narratives that honour the city's storytelling tradition.
This carefully curated lineup creates a journey through sound and word, continuing La Violette Società's commitment to meaningful artistic experiences in intimate settings.
Some things just make sense. From the moment we first heard Tigers & Flies, we knew there was something special—sharp, inventive and completely their own. Over the past few years, they’ve grown into a force to be reckoned with, and it’s been a privilege to be involved in that evolution.
"I was that strange child who'd just mimic everything," Darcie grins. "Cat meows, scraping metal, Christina Aguilera's vocal runs—anything that made an interesting sound." Years before Beatowls, before their shape-shifting single "(Do You Want To Be) Loved," there was just a kid with perfect pitch and a legendary playground Donkey impression.
Between stories of Gary Numan-soundtracked visits to her dad's and reimagined Jewish folk songs, Darcie maps out a musical landscape that's distinctly Liverpudlian yet entirely her own.
Delve into the enigmatic world of Beatowls with the maXIon Remix of "(Do You Want to Be) Loved," where celebrated producer Gary Curran adds a new dimension to this standout track from the album Marma. With its enhanced spectral atmosphere and hypnotic synth hooks, this remix pushes the boundaries of sound, making the underground both darker and brighter. Curran's meticulous production respects the original's emotional core while introducing an enthralling, expansive soundscape that invites listeners into a new auditory experience.
Where psychedelic rock meets spoken word, where Welsh cosmic sounds blend with Liverpool poetry.
La Violette Società returns to Ten Streets Social with Bite's funk-fuelled psychedelia, Pys Melyn's Welsh wanderings, Yesterday's Flowers' dream-pop and celebrated Liverpool poet Melanie Banim.
March 25th 2025. A night of live music and literature in the heart of Liverpool.
Listen to Snowgoose’s recent interview and live session on Pete Paphides’ Soho Radio Show.
On the 28th January 2025, La Violette Società presents an evening of music, poetry, and spoken word that promises to be a memorable experience. This event takes place at the Ten Streets Social in Liverpool, a vibrant venue that echoes the innovative spirit of our performers.
The evening will feature four distinctive talents — M. Haiux, Wendy Erskine, Ralph Dartford and Nev Clay. Each offers a unique voice in their respective fields, and together, they will create a cohesive and compelling experience of the poetic, the melodic, the prosaic and the unexpected.
