Canned Panther News April 09

Well, we’ll start off with our usual line that Canned Panther Towers has been incredibly busy. As We’re sure you’re well aware, there have been several things going on, what with our ever lively monthly parties at 3345, and the massively successful ‘Kop Of The Pops’ event that we helped promote with Barry Sutton (The La’s), with over £4000 going to the Hillsborough Families Support Group.

‘So what have the artists been getting up to?’ We hear you cry! Well, read on!

Laney Murphy & The Hybrids

Laney and the boys have been very busy with studio recording, video recording and masses of live shows. The band had a live video shoot done at their last Canned Panther Presents gig in 3345, Parr Street (the infamous recording studio). They’re going for a full studio video shoot next week, so we’ll keep you posted on the video release!

On top of this, our very favourite rock photographer Sakura , has done another fantastic shoot for the band. Above is just one of the new shots, see more at www.myspace.com/laneymurphy.

Jack Roberts

It’s been over a year since Jack Roberts performed at Liverpool Echo Arena for the Number One Project. It’s been a whirlwind of events since then! Having completed successful gigs in Birmingham and all around Liverpool, Jack Roberts is now tearing up the scene with the video that is shooting him to stardom:

Following on from this epic footage, Jack Roberts has written and performed a song for inclusion in a new film being shown at Cannes this May! It’s all a bit hush hush now, but we promise to bring you details hot off the press when we’re allowed to start bragging! It’s a corker, believe us!

If you’re now just gagging to see him live, Jack Roberts is supporting Son Of Dave at Liverpool Barfly in May. You haven’t seen weird until you’ve seen these two on stage! What a night this is destined to be!
