Say She She

Say She She’s 21st-century take on New York’s post-punk disco-not-disco sound – the kind of stuff
that Ze Records released in the late 70s and early 80s – has been a dependable delight over the last
few years. Their two albums to date have offered an embarrassment of funky, poppy, off-beam,
spacey riches.

It’s now more than a decade since Sky Ferreira released her debut album Night Time, My Time,
which unveiled an artist with a thrillingly distinctive, artily skewed take on pop. Its follow-up,
Masochism, was supposed to come out in 2015; fans who flew a “Free Sky Ferreira” banner over
her label Capitol Records are hopeful of her independence after the label removed her from their
website. Presumably these gigs will feature said new material.
UK tour begins 19 March, TV Studio SWG3, Glasgow

Ghetts

Ghetts is one of UK rap’s most prodigiously gifted lyricists, and his slow-building success is
founded not on pop accessibility but his talents as a born storyteller with a cinematic scope.
His previous album came out in 2021; its follow-up, On Purpose, With Purpose, precedes these
gigs.
UK tour begins 22 March, O2 Institute, Birmingham
