Inspired by the pop classicism of Big Star, the rawness of The Replacements and the glitter of T-Rex, Music City make perfect powerpop.
Although their only release so far came way back in 2018, the two song 7” record received praise from Iggy Pop and Pitchfork. Since then, the man behind the music, Conor Lumsden, has been recording the long-awaited debut album between London, New York and Dublin.
Fresh from a European tour with The Lemon Twigs and a show supporting The Coverups (Billie Joe Armstrong’s cover band), their live credentials are top notch, it’s going to be a good one.
Support comes from pub rockers TV Crime and local indie-poppers First Prize.
