She Drew The Gun
Tuesday 21st February, 7.30pm
Tickets are £13 (+ b/f) in advance (more on the door) and available from See Tickets.
*This is a seated show with all seating unreserved.*
The fabulous Louisa Roach is coming to perform both songs and poetry for us in February at The Crescent.
Each of the four times we have promoted She Drew The Gun since 2016 they’ve blown us away with a mix of fun, compassionate pop-party and righteously telling it like it is! We’re planning to do this show seated in cabaret/around tables so tickets are quite limited.
Louisa:
She Drew The Gun are today announcing their music & poetry UK tour as well as ‘Memories of the Revolution’ LP which is a double vinyl reissue of previous albums ‘Memories of Another Future’ and ‘Revolution of Mind’.
Louisa Roach says, “Happy to announce something a bit different for next year, I’ll be doing a run of intimate unplugged shows, stripping it back to poetry and music. I’m excited to go back to the roots of this thing that started with me and a guitar, and get to play around with songs and poems from across three albums and more. We’re doing a beautiful vinyl reissue of the first two albums as well so it felt like a great time to revisit those songs and do something I haven’t done before.”
Story:
Under the moniker She Drew The Gun, songwriter Louisa Roach began by playing solo gigs around Liverpool, she quickly caught the attention of The Coral’s James Skelly who she began working with at Skeleton Key Records, recruiting band members along the way. At first glance Roach’s fuzzy psych-pop may suggest that the Wirral born songwriter is another ‘Cosmic Scouser’ but then you’re drawn into the spirit of rebellion, songs that rally against injustice and food banks and celebrate outsiderdom. Roach was late to music, releasing her first LP ‘Memories of the future’ after a decade of motherhood and studying at college. The second LP ‘
Revolution of Mind’, released October 2018, again produced by James Skelly, continued the fine work laid out on her 2016 debut. Announced in the top 10 albums of 2018 by BBCRadio6 Music, the record was one of the runaway indie successes of the year. In 2019 the band completed a sold out UK tour and played a string of UK festivals including main stage performances at Glastonbury and Blue Dot among others. In 2020 the band played virtual gigs to help raise money for Greenpeace and the Music Venue Trust among others and look forward to a proper return to live music.
