Joe Symes & the Loving Kind are stripping down this Friday
Original, Liverpool three-piece rock band Joe Symes & the Loving Kind will be performing a rare, stripped down acoustic set when they headline the next Liverpool Acoustic Live.
Friday 22nd July 2016 sees Joe Symes & the Loving Kind playing in the intimate top-floor performance space at Mathew Street’s independent View Two Gallery. The band recently headlined the O2 Academy 1 for Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds Official Aftershow Party, and have been featured on BBC6 Music, BBC Introducing, Arts Alive, and LFC TV.
Support on the night is provided by the Susie Jones Band. Preston-based singer-songwriter Susie Jones writes “songs of tender innocence and youthful experience” (Froots Magazine) and recently impressed everyone when she played at the Liverpool Acoustic Open Mic.
The evening’s lineup is completed by local favourite Rachael Dunn, returning to the View Two after far too long away. Rachael will be revisiting songs from her previous recordings, including the 2014 EP Placing Stars, as well as debuting new songs.
According to the weather forecast summer is due to arrive this week, so why not celebrate this Friday by getting out of the house and supporting live, acoustic music in the heart of the city?

ARTIST INFORMATION
JOE SYMES & THE LOVING KIND
joesymesandthelovingkind.co.uk
Joe Symes and the Loving Kind are an original three piece band from Liverpool UK.
Since the release of their debut album, the band have embarked on a non-stop journey all over the UK, performing in cities and towns from London to Glasgow. Taking their self-titled debut on an assault around the country has seen them pick up some major support slots including Steve Cradock (Ocean Colour Scene/Paul Weller), The Blockheads, Dodgy, XTC, Bloc Party and Alt-J, headlining Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds Aftershow Party, as well as hitting the Festival circuit, and coming to the attention of Creation Management’s Alan McGee. The album has been greatly received in America with magazine and airplay all over the world.
With the release of their last double A side single Things Get Better/I’m Gonna Find Out Someday, the band showcase how they have evolved, formed from more increasingly energetic live performances, with a heavier sound, but still keeping their distinctive feel found on the first album. Things Get Better has already attracted attention at home and abroad, BBC Introducing, being played at Anfield (Liverpool Football Club) on match days, and major International airplay.
As of 2016, the band were asked to play Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds Aftershow Party once again at the 02 Academy Liverpool, as well as featuring on LFC TV (Liverpool Football Club’s official TV station) Bay TV’s Arts Alive show, and Radio City Talk (105.9 FM). Later in the summer they will be performing at Festivals around the U.K alongside bands such as Dave McCabe (The Zutons), Space, The Icicle Works, and The Christians, and commencing work on their long awaited second album.

Lancashire based singer songwriter Susie Jones releases her second full length album, Shake Away the Devil, on Rubi Records. The album sees a departure from her acoustic folk beginnings and brings forward a heavier, lush and full textured sound which for the first time features all self-penned songs. Recorded over 12 months it is the result of a personal healing process of an artist coming of age.
The new record sees her back working with old faces; engineered by her bassist Dave Parker and Gary Hall (Cathryn Craig, Red Moon Joe) and features Mark Whiteside (Evil Blizzard) on drums. It also welcomes the arrival of new faces including Guitarist Matt Wells (Michael Chapman, Nat Birchall, and Greg Spero) and Andrew Glassford who mixed and mastered the record. The album was produced by long-time collaborator Rob Kentell at Sunnybank Studios and the Voodoo Rooms.
At its heart this album presents a writer at her most exposed and honest and singer whose elegant and distinctive voice touches the soul of the listener.
