Merseyside bands hoping to become the next big thing are to show their talent next week at the Big Fat Summer Bash 2.0.

The event will give unsigned bands the chance to perform live at Liverpool’s Carling Academy, on 28th August, as they all bid to become the next big band to come out of Merseyside.

Live Sounds is a recent startup CIC, so we're still in need of more volunteers to help us in our aims! The two positions we require most at the moment are those of Marketing & PR Director, Graphic Designer and Talent Scout. We want to hear from anyone interested in filling these or similar positions. Check out the Jobs page for more info, and we want to hear from you today!

Young People on Merseyside will have a great new opportunity available to them this year! Live Sounds, a recently established Community Interest Company is setting itself up as a music 'one stop shop', trading as a record label, music publisher, live promoter, marketing agency and artist management company. Sceptical of traditional music industry models, Live Sounds CIC is following a new and revolutionary paradigm and aims to run at the forefront of innovation in delivery of music to people in the way they want it.
