Future Yard are delighted to be playing host to We Are Scientists on 26th July, as the New York rock duo return to the UK.

WAS debuted in the early aughts with the angular post-punk edge of With Love And Squalor, later evolving to incorporate polished synths and expanded atmospherics on efforts like 2016’s Helter Seltzer, 2018’s Megaplex, and 2021’s Huffy.

Although modestly popular in America, they were a hit in the UK, where the group’s sound — part post-punk revival and part indie rock with a touch of 80s synth pop — drew parallels to contemporaries like Editors, Franz Ferdinand, Interpol, and The Killers.

On 30th June they are thrilled to be welcoming POND-frontman Nicholas Allbrook to Future Yard as he tours the UK.

A Western Australian native and a highly-accomplished songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, painter and producer, since the beginning of his artistic career in 2005, Allbrook has brought community and collaboration to the forefront of his artistic method.

Whether it’s in the poignant lyricism of his solo musical endeavours or in the production style of his across POND’s discography, Allbrook shows a deep understanding of the human experience and the importance of art in modern society in his psych-tinged musical style.

He joins Future Yard in support of his new album Manganese, out on 9th June.

They are thrilled to be rounding off the summer months at Future Yard with the Merseyside return of Ex-Easter Island Head, in a very special, one-off, intimate in-the round show.

The show follows sell out headline dates throughout the UK this year and ahead of their appearance at Birmingham’s legendary Supersonic Festival. Pushing musical experimentation to its minimalist limits EEIH are a collective composing and performing music for solid body electric guitar, percussion and other instruments.

Primarily performing as a quartet, the group incorporates multiple electric guitars augmented through mechanical preparations and extended techniques to create works that explore group interplay, repetition and melodic invention through purposefully limited means.

They perform in the round at Future Yard on 31.08, allowing you the audience to get up close and personal to their free-flowing genius.

All the way from Long Beach, California, Chase Petra touch down in Birkenhead in autumn for a headline show they are thrilled to be hosting.

A band that exists out of pure necessity, within the project making music is not so much a choice, as an inherent and inextricable feature of each members’ life. The band is composed of a group of friends that often aim for adjectives like loud, unapologetic, and “sort of a lot.” Lately referred to as “an approachable American mess,” Chase Petra finds their sound sitting somewhere between Midwest emo (despite hailing from SoCal), early 2000s indie rock and pop punk.

Their songs’ subject matter runs the gamut, covering issues of social justice (i.e. sexism, classism), personal growing pains, and subjects of a more nefarious nature.

This autumn the team are thrilled to be welcoming psych-rockers The Warlocks to Future Yard.

Formed in 1999, L.A.-based group The Warlocks produce a relentless, hypnotic wall of sound that suggests a collision between classic psychedelia, Krautrock and The Velvet Underground. Led for the past twenty-plus years by Papa Warlock aka front man Bobby Hecksher, who´s backed by J.C. Rees (guitar, feedback), Earl V. Miller (guitar, drone machine), Christopher DiPino (bass), and Oscar Ruvalcaba (drums).

The Warlocks are back on the road again this year for a full-scale tour in support of ‘In Between Sad’, their new LP set to be released via Cleopatra Records in Sept 2023.

Jon Keats

Jon is a Director of the Cavern Club and also one of the resident artists here. He released his debut album“ Any Man Would do The Same” in November 2022 on Cavern Records. Despite his association with the venue that kick started the Beatles career, musically, his sound sits more within the Americana genre.

He will be playing tracks off the album as well as previewing his second offering, which he started recording on a recent trip to Memphis and Nashville, and will be completed here in Liverpool for a summer release.

April Moon

April Moon are Jaime April and Jason Moon – two musicians who moved to the UK from the prairies of Saskatchewan, Canada, to write, record, and perform their songs in the genre of Canadiana (it’s like Americana but you have to keep your socks on!). Combining vocal harmonies, intertwined guitars and a thumping beat, April Moon sounds like a Fleetwood Mac got together with the Grateful Dead and wrote some tunes.

The pair released an album called “The Other One Was You” in November 2022 that takes a playful, sometimes darker look at life, love and honesty. The 12 songs paint a bright, vivid picture of the world surrounding these two Canadian wanderers.

Expect an afternoon of fun-folky music to tap your feet or get you up dancing in a Brewery venue- what better way to celebrate St George’s Day than having a few freshly brewed ales and a dance with friends!
