The New Sounds team bring you another night of the best up-and-coming live music from the Midlands and surrounding areas, celebrating the rich variety of music the area has to offer. Expect fresh talent and live, original music.
The Good Water
The Good Water’s fuzz fuelled guitar riffs, raw vintage organs and hypnotic drum beats, lay the toundations for their own unique style of psychedelic, indie, pop.
Since forming in 2016, the lads quickly picked up local support from Brum Radio and gained fans at raucous shows around the Midlands. They blew audiences away supporting Mercury Rev, Super Fury Animals and Bill Ryder-Jones. The trio’s brand of psychedelic indie rock grooves, phased analogue delay, and fuzzed up guitar riffs, is streamlined into tight retro-pop framework.
Press has also been quick to spot their singles with rave reviews from tastemaker blogs and magazines. The bands singles have been strongly supported by Steve Lamacq and his 6 Music team. The tracks also secured plays from Radcliffe & Maconie 6 Music and John Kennedy on Radio X.
“If you like old school 60’s psych, bands like The Coral, you’ll love this.” – Steve Lamacq BBC 6 Music
The band have picked up a number of tour supports including Canadian blues rockers The Sheepdogs. Selling out venues such as the The Workman’s Club – Dublin, The Fleece – Bristol, The Globe – Cardiff and Lafayette – London.
Closer to home, The Good Water are consistently selling out headline shows in Birmingham and building up a strong fanbase. The band have a number of performances lined up to coincide with their album release.
