Lola Colt session and interview

London band Lola Colt are working on their first releases, with none other than Bad Seed Jim Sclavunos. Singer Gun is originally from Copenhagen but now calls London home. One's to watch as their single launch for I Get High If You Get High at London's Electrowerkz sold out recently. Shades of Patti Smith is an obvious comparison and as it's late I'm feeling lazy that's where we'll leave it! Their session is knock out and hear them in conversation with me for Amazing Radio below too:

The Other Woman sessions at Red Bull Studios

The Other Woman recently spent a whole day filming sessions at Red Bull's Studio's in London. We invited The Tuts, Nadine Shah and Hunter As A Horse as they represent the current scope of exciting new music being made my female artists and female fronted bands. Scrappy girl pop from The Tuts, dramatic, intense songwriting from Nadine Shah and electro-meets-folk outfit Hunter As A Horse.

Lady Lamb the Beekeeper, aka Aly Spaltro, is an astonishing young guitarist and singer songwriter from Portland, Maine. Her album Ripely Pine was on the car stereo for weeks when it landed - raw, noisey, inventive and showcasing some great lyrics. Meeting her before a show in London supporting Neko Case went like this:

Hunter As A Horse interview and session

Hunter As A Horse

On meeting Mia and Paul who are the songwriting hub of Hunter As A Horse for the first time I knew I was in for a treat. Both originally from South Africa we had plenty to bond about, and with Argentinian drumming force Laura Fares in the mix they are poised for greatness. Mia's creepy dark folk songs blend beautifully with Paul's production techniques - creating driving, atmospheric mixes. Have a listen to the original tracks on Soundcloud and then hear them acoustic below:
