THE NIGHT CAFE
www.facebook.com/nightcafeband
Having grown up in the same area of Liverpool and separately developed a love for playing music while at secondary school, it took a while for Arran, Sean and Josh to be introduced through mutual friends, but they soon struck upon a natural songwriting chemistry.
Initially plying their trade as drummers, Sean and Josh began to play guitar and twisted Arran’s arm into swapping his guitar for the bass. Strongly attached to their hometown, but eschewing the traditional musical heritage of The Beatles and The Coral, the four friends began to rehearse together, finding that their camaraderie was more than enough to fuel a deluge of joyous indie tracks — combining Sean’s charming lyricism and glowing vocal melodies with bold guitar hooks, snaking bass riffs and rich, metronomic drumming. Settling upon the name, The Night Café, the four made the short trip upstairs to Whitewood recording studio — their practice space is in the basement of the Victorian building, known as Elevator studios, home to The Wombats, Dan Croll, Circa Waves, Echo and the Bunnymen, and Clinic — where producer Robert Whiteley helped to polish their promising demos into the sparkling, soaring 2015 releases ‘Growing Up’ and ‘Addicted’.
Returning at the start of this year with another shimmering chunk of lively guitar music in ‘Together’, the band have crystallised exactly how it feels to throw off the shackles of school life and be catapulted into a world of new experiences at eighteen-years old, all tied together with an infectious rhythm and melodic crispness more akin to Fleetwood Mac than any of Liverpool’s past icons.
‘Together’ is about more than pursuing a passion, or sharing a wavelength, or looking out for eachother: it’s about building a friendship that becomes as tight as family. And this family have quickly manifested themselves as the most vital new indie band to come out of the city in recent years.
