The Wicked Whispers recruit Captain Beefheart’s Magic Band for their upcoming Winter annual club night spectacular in Liverpool!

Liverpool’s The Wicked Whispers have pulled a lot out of the bag during their first year. Besides doing two UK tours, releasing their debut EP on limited 10” vinyl (now goldust!), playing a series of festivals and building a loyal following leading up to their Liverpool and London EP launch shows the band also put on their own event called ‘The Butterfly’s Ball And The Grasshopper’s Feast’ at The Static Gallery in their hometown of Liverpool featuring The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown, local talent El Toro and Eve Petersen (Ex – The Little Flames) whilst Will Sergeant (Echo & The Bunnymen) was on DJ duties and visual delights were provided by Howard Be Thy Name (artist, performer and projectionist). The evening was compared by BBC introducing’s Dave Monks, topping off a sell out success and offering something a little different tfor the city’s gig goers.

Almost 12 months on, the band are happy to announce the follow up show this December with Liverpool’s spiritual American fathers The Magic Band.… Yes, THE MAGIC BAND. Support comes from The Wicked Whispers themselves (a combo who have reminded psychedelic music fans of everyone from The 23rd Turnoff, The New Colony Six, The Rising Storm and HP Lovecraft) and young new hopefuls The Lucid Dream, who channel 45 years of psychedelic music in a way that only wide eyed teens can muster. With a DJ set from Scouseadelia pioneer Edgar Summertyme of The Stairs this second freak out is set to blow minds.

This years line-up includes:

THE MAGIC BAND
THE WICKED WHISPERS
THE LUCID DREAM

VISUAL LIGHTSHOW : TOWYN ROBERTS (THE GRATEFUL DEAD/SHACK/THE CORAL)
DJ : PYSCHEDELIC SOUNDS FROM EDGAR ‘SUMMERTYME’ JONES (THE STAIRS/THE JONES’S/FREE PEACE
