A BAND perhaps better known for their graffiti rather than their music are set for a rare live performance this autumn.

One year on from the release of their debut album, The Pies are heading to The Epstein Theatre on Friday, October 20.

Formed in the late 80s, The Pies were regulars on the Liverpool music scene until their untimely split in 1993 without even a debut album to their name.

Guitarist, singer and songwriter Ashley Martin knew he had to continue with the legacy of The Pies and decided to form a new line-up.

The band were also famous for their graffiti placed around the region on bridges across the M57 at Switch Island and the M6. 

It has been reported THE PIES is mysteriously replaced every time it is removed.

Their first album was released last year under the title Best of Pies and featured new songs as well as songs they have performed in occasional appearances over the years.

The Pies band includes Ashley Martin and Tim Kinch (Drums). Two original member’s Si Lee (guitar) and Lee Shone (keys) as well as bass player Tony Oxley. There will also be a variety of special musical guests performing with the band, which will be kept top secret until the night.

The band try to encourage and support local emerging artists, and provide many with the opportunity to perform at their shows.

A spokesman added: "This concert will feature plenty of fresh talent including: Liverpool’s own Mark Roberts the world’s most prolific streaker, who will be causing laughs aplenty with his very first comedy stand-up spot; as well as performances from singer-songwriter Anthony Miller, a debut performance from duet Holly Fearnon and Calum Harrison, and 14-year-old singer and ukulele player Bethany Hamm."
