News July 09

WOW! What a fantastic few months we've had! Firstly we encountered Liverpool Sound City, Cannes Film Festival, some boutique gigs with plenty more to look forward to over the summer!

Starting with a re-cap:
Sound City 2009
Canned Panther presented THREE amazing gigs at the fantastic Studio 2 at Parr Street recording studios. We'd like to thank our friends, particularly Cameron, who made sure the venue provided the perfect back drop for the most amazing performances. Foy Vance, Delta Maid, 15 Storeys and Vijay Kishore were amongst the favourites over the three gigs and we locked out the venue on each occasion! Very triumphant indeed!
Cannes 2009
Our very favourite Jack Roberts was spotted doing pavement a capellas and ad hoc performances all around Cannes when he went over to celebrate the release of Neil Fitzmaurice's (of Phoenix Nights fame)new film Charlie Noades RIP.

And coming up:
Merseyside's very own Everly Brothers-cum-Coral harmonising beatniks, the 15 Storeys are larging it up in the studio recording some new material. They've been gigging here there and everywhere with more gigs coming up around the country. Visit www.myspace.com/15storeyshigh for the tour dates.
Don't forget to catch their upcoming headline gig at The Masque, Liverpool on Friday 17th July:

Laney Murphy has been busy wowing audiences at gigs at the infamous 3345 as well as Korova supporting Wallis Bird. At this gig she performed her a capella of White Flag and had the audience clapping and singing along!

You can catch Laney at her next gig in Manchester:

Our final bit of news is this:

Our last gig saw ad hoc performances from Jack Roberts, Molly Jones and friends. It was also announced that night that Michael Jackson had passed away. Remember where you were people! Let's face it, the man was a genius. You see, you never know what can happen at our events, and as it's free entry, you'd be foolish to miss out!

See you down the front!
