Be sure to keep your eyes open and ears tuned in for more from Ticketmaster and TicketWeb Artist Services. Here are the highlights from December:

Trudy and the Romance

The Liverpool trio are currently making waves thanks to their cinematic indie sound and persuasive live shows. Described as “mutant ’50s pop”, Trudy and the Romance (shown above) specialise in a ramshackle but cinematic sound that’s made BBC 6 Music’s Steve Lamacq declare himself a bona fide fan. Jangling guitars and yelped vocals make the band’s three-minute perfect pop offerings essential listening for fans of the Libertines, early Maccabees and the likes of The Big Moon and Yak. Expect pleading lyrics and melodies that half-slur and half-soar in equal measure.

Check out new single Twist It, Shake It, Rock & Roll here and catch the band on tour next year:

  • Fri 26/01/2018 – London, The Lexington
  • Fri 02/02/2018 – Birmingham, The Castle & Falcon
