Each week we’ll introduce you to some of the acts you can look forward to seeing at the weekly Lipa cafe events as well as The 2Ube Extra Festival. ABOUT THE 2UBE: “There is still a shortage of live music on our terrestrial screens so something like The 2Ube live from LIPA is a fabulous idea, not only does it give the students real industry skills in producing live Television but also offers a platform for emerging music to get seen by a wider audience.” Dave Monks, BBC Radio Merseyside Based in LIPA Cafe, Liverpool Insititute for the Performing Arts, Mount Street, Liverpool, The 2Ube’s weekly showcase takes place each Friday from 5-7pm. The event features a diverse range of bands from across the north west and takes inspiration from its iconic eighties namesake, the Channel Four Television programme, The Tube. Keith Mullin of Liverpool band The Farm is a music lecturer at Liverpool Institute for the Performing Arts and the driving force behing The 2Ube. He describes the event as “a bastion of cultural diversity, a great breeding ground for new acts. In many ways it adopts a John Peel approach to music, not specialist or genre specific, in that you never know what you’re going to get.” On February 6th and March 20th, the show will be live streamed on a designated YouTube channel, attracting viewers from all over the world as we gear up for the main event, the annual 2Ube Extra Festival which is set to attract viewers to its live stream from all over the world. This year The 2Ube Extra Festival begins on April 15th and runs until April 23rd, featuring four bands each night, together with exclusive interviews and performances with some of the most respected figures in the music industry. Some of the bands appearing on The 2Ube and The 2Ube Extra have already been featured by regional and national media, others are ready to be discovered; all are incredibly talented, innovative and exciting prospects. Artists you can look forward to seeing at The 2Ube Extra Festival together with one of their tracks: The Hazel Empire The Hazel Empire – Colours Inspired by everything from Balkan beats to African choirs, The Hazel Empire writes world infused folk/pop layered with harmonies. Often mistaken for sisters on stage, the three female vocalists of The Hazel Empire are remarkably tight live. Bringing in different vocal identities from their three separate countries they merge into one, creating a unique sound. http://www.facebook.com/TheHazelEmpire http://www.twitter.com/TheHazelEmpire http://soundcloud.com/thehazelempire “Phenomenal vocal trio… Hauntingly beautiful songs” Michael Hocking, Mid-Cheshire Radio The 69 Watts The 69 Watts – Get On Formed in 2012, The 69 Watts are a three piece glam tinged, psychedelic rock and roll band hailing from Liverpool, their EP ‘Put Out Some Light’ is out now. http://www.youtube.com/user/the69watts/videos http://soundcloud.com/the-69-watts ”The incarnation of Hendrix” MangoneBlog ”Our favourite new discovery” BidoLito Mari Hajem Mari Hajem – Confusion Mari Hajem is a Norwegian indie pop artist inspired by left-field pop and northern soul. With an extraordinary five piece band, she has found her own unique sound. Abstract lyrics compliment the atmospheric soundscapes Mari creates.

The band consists of Maniacal super-villain Kitty Staunton on lead vocals and guitar, Freddy ‘The Thumb’ Spera on bass/backing vocals, ‘Tall and mysterious’ Jonyx on guitars and new recruit Mr. Torben John Plumstead Schmidt-Hansen on the drums. They promise an energetic and erection-inducing live show, fun for the whole family. http://www.facebook.com/novacrowofficial http://www.twitter.com/novacrowband “Female fronted banana suit wearing Novacrow play a scintillating set mixed with anger and sexuality fronted by the gorgeous Kitty Staunton. These guys like a mistress will have you begging for more.” Shabhoc Music and Media Silje Silje – Be You Norwegian Silje combines a Scandinavian/European sound with powerful vocals that are clearly influenced by American culture. Silje is as a positive, fresh and exciting solo performer. http://www.facebook.com/SiljeMusic http://www.soundcloud.com/siljemusic http://twitter.com/silje_music http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRHd0XkdtOMbSM4wWFvPyqg “She and her band filled the East Village Arts Club (EVAC) in Liverpool.” Magnus Bringsvor, EUB, May 2014 “Silje has a powerful voice that carriers far.” Jan Rudolf Pettersen, RB, 2012 “A voice that affects emotions and leave you with a feeling of wanting more of this Norwegian girl. We are certain that Siljes fresh look and magical charisma in combination with her strong and powerful voice will attract the industry´s attention.” WCOPA, 2011 MaVe MaVe – Feed My Hunger MaVe, alias Marita Vestad, makes dark, catchy electronic music. Originating from Ringebu, Norway, MaVe uses her own life experiences when writing her lyrics, expressing thoughts and emotions people usually don’t dare to say out loud.

Together with producer Are Naesset they create dark electronica infused with elements from drum & bass, trap, rock and dubstep. http://www.facebook.com/MaVemusic http://soundcloud.com/mavemusic-1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pq6Z01Roi0 http://itunes.apple.com/no/album/monster/id898374770?i=898374788&l=nb http://twitter.com/MaVeartist Tiger Factory Tiger Factory – King of the World A hip hop/rock band combining smooth melodies, bouncy melodies and high energy live performances.
