Sound City explodes on to our streets today. Is it Liverpool's answer to the world-famous SXSW festival in Austin, Texas? Organiser Dave Pichilingi thinks so.
Only time will tell. But alongside the conferences and talks with the great and good of the music industry it is certainly the best chance to see up and coming bands on your doorstep.
Click's Picks for tonight...
* Cage The Elephant + White Denim + The Gay Blades, 02 Academy.
* Antipop Label Launch party feat. Fraktures and The Drellas, Monochrome.
* Merseyside's hottest bands The Rascals + Sound Of Guns, Liverpool University.
If you manage to get around just these three beats and bashes, we'll stand you a pint at the Studio 2 afterparty.
WEDNESDAY, 20, MAY.
