North West independent record label Loner Noise present WRONG Festival – A Festival For The Freakscene; a one day festival happening on Saturday 22nd April 2017, at the newly formed creative hub of the Liverpool Docklands.
WRONG intends to be the first festival in the city to tie together Liverpool’s extremely talented, ever-growing pool of visceral and exciting heavy bands, as well as bringing high profile leaders and legends of the Freakscene, to the city, for rare live outings in the region. WRONG aims to create something truly unique and very special for the first time in Liverpool, with organisers announcing that Japanese psych legends Bo Ningen will be topping the bill. The WRONG Festival bill is stated to bring together the disparate scenes, from the heavier and stranger corners of rock music on a freaked-out ride, from punk to noise to psychedelia and everywhere in between.
Bo Ningen
The event is to take place across three venues: The Kazimier’s much lauded new venture Invisible Wind Factory, the latest after-party hotspot The North Shore Troubadour, and local DIY venue stalwarts Drop the Dumbulls. These venues will play host to 30 bands, and will run from the afternoon until late at night, and will continue on into the wee small hours.
Among the artists performing are, Bo Ningen, who recently supported the mighty Primal Scream, they originally hail from Japan but are now based in London, and have a ferocious reputation for exhilarating live insanity. The band have released three critically acclaimed albums to date and have collaborated with Savages, earning widespread acclaim from the likes of The Quietus, DIY, The Line of Best Fit and The New York Times. They will be joined by a host of underground heroes in the form of Brighton’s finest surf-doom outfit, The Wytches, extreme noise mob Heck whose raucous live shows are the stuff of legend, dark-humoured noise rock quartet Blacklisters, Glasgow’s foremost psychonauts The Cosmic Dead, near-legendary UK underground heroes Part Chimp, the immediate, cutting mutant-pop of Cowtown, and many many more. The festival will also introduce bands from the fledgling Loner Noise label roster including Elevant, SPQR, Gravves, Pocket Apocalypse, Too Many Poets, and Duke Mercury.
