There was a moment last night at Johnny Brenda’s when British singer Kate Nash laid it all out for the crowd. “I’m living just for me and not for what you might write about my hair and body,” she grunted into the mic, during punchy new number “Oh!” It was a true rock star moment: ...

Warning: This blog post may contradict some of our other blog posts. We make no apology for this. Life is full of contadictions; but add them all up together and as a whole they make a lot more sense. In 1982, Kevin Rowland and his band Dexy’s Midnight Runners were riding high in the UK singles charts with his Celtic sound of Come On Eileen (that year’s biggest selling single). Seventeen years on Kevin could be seen in drag, heavy make-up, suspenders [...]

As you may know, Kate Nash is in NYC next week for shows at Bowery Ballroom (3/26 ) and Music Hall of Williamsburg (3/28) , both of which are with Supercute! , and sold out. Good news: Kate and Supercute! have added a third show while here, and at a much more intimate venue: The Studio @ Webster Hall on March 27 . Tickets to that show are still available. Updated tour schedule below... Continue reading [...]

Nash has been likened to fellow Brit Lily Allen, although Allen has a polished lyrical style, intentionally airy and in full command of her range. Nash has a ways to go on both counts. The opener, Part Heart is agonizingly slow and initially musically bare, almost an acoustic arrangement. Feeling more like Nash is in her bedroom musing about her broken heart than a breakup song, it grows in intensity and added snarly instruments until the crescendo end. A punk-pop sound as only an all-girl band can achieve, Nash hits back hard at all [...]

Jem Goulding Since their first single was released in June 2012, London post-punk foursome Savages have steadily become one of the most-talked about new bands in the UK on the backs of their ferocious live performances, the experience of which they sought to capture on the live I Am Here EP released last Fall. Now, as they come off a series of much-talked about shows at SXSW and prepare to make a similar impression with a couple of shows at Canadian Musicfest, they've announced details of their debut album. Entitled [...]
El nuevo álbum de Kate Nash ha salido y contra todas aquellas críticas buenas o malas, nos entrega un trabajo de 15 canciones bastante interesantes. Esta ocasión será el todo o nada para ella, ya con su tercer material entregado, debería despuntar o caer, lo cual no creemos que vaya a ocurrir. El disco logra [...]
Se aproxima el verano y con él crece la oferta de conciertos en México. De hecho, en apenas unas horas se anunciaron tres recitales en diversos foros de la capital mexicana para los siguientes meses. El primero representará la primera visita del Rufus Wainwright al país; el segundo traerá a los británicos de The Wombats a presentar su segundo álbum de estudio, mientras que la tercera presentación verá el regreso de la también británica Kate Nash a tierras mexicanas.

Kate Nash "Part Heart" Listen to the bass in this – it's that Kim Deal rumble roll, but flattened out to evoke the feeling of having all the joy sucked out of your life. Kate Nash sings like she's gone dead inside, but there's a slight smirk to her delivery, as if she's kinda enjoying this bitter, empty feeling in the wake of a relationship going sour. You can hear the hum of her guitar, like it's lying in wait, and you can feel a catharsis coming but the measures keep going by. When it finally [...]

Kate Nash took some time out inbetween promoting her new album and touring to chat with Chloe about what she has been up to recently and her love for Cambridge! You can check out our review of her latest album here. Hey Kate! Nice work on the album; the new style seems to have gone down well with fans. What has influenced you when writing Girl Talk? My personal life, I got emotionally burnt the past couple of years by a load of shit and I dealt [...]
Kate Nash has always been admired by us for her amazing music, clever lyrics, and do-it-yourself ethic. With all the love we have towards her music, we were very excited to have the opportunity of interviewing her. Tonight, Kate is set to play The Horseshoe Tavern in Toronto, so to get everyone ready for the show, AMBY spoke with Kate Nash about blasts of smoke, acting, and superpowers! AMBY: Hello Kate. Congratulations on the release of your third album Girl Talk . How are you doing? Kate Nash: I’m on [...]

ARTIST: Kate Nash - [Album] with free mp3 download for '3AM' from Girl Talk by Kate Nash DATE: 03-12-13 REVIEW BY: Bill Adams Remember back at the dawn of punk, when no one really had a "sound" or a "genre" or a banner to stand under, the artists just had something they wanted to say, an urgent desire to get it out of them and a bad attitude? Some readers certainly do remember but, given that Kate Nash was only born in 1987, [view [...]
Kate Nash will kick your ass - as soon as she’s done painting her nails. She’s has just cause, considering she spends almost the entirety of her fan-funded third LP, Girl Talk , getting fucked over, disrespected, and ignored by members of the opposite sex. But this isn’t new territory for Nash, who made her bones back in 2007 poking fun at her goofy-yet-relatable boy troubles on tracks like the irresistible “ Foundations ". This time around, though, she’s ready to fight back. She’s traded cupcakes for tragus piercings, her acoustic guitar for an electric bass, and died [...]
Here's who's in Toronto this week: : Jukebox The Ghost, Mar 11 Deathfix, Mar 12 Django Django, Mar 12 The Summer Set, Mar 12 Veronica Falls, Mar 12 Psychic Ills, Mar 13 Twiztid, Mar 14 Breakbot, Mar 15 Kate Nash, Mar 15 Low, Mar 16
Conventional Girl by Kate Nash “I’m sick of being the bitch that you think I am” If you don’t know it yet, I’m a massive fanboy of Kate Nash. She’s just an absolute goddess, I adore her. Her lyrics can be as witty as any good sitcom on TV but also, incredibly poignant. What I love about the rest of this album, her third full-length release entitled Girl Talk , is its nature of being such an emotional purge for Nash. This kind of lyric is something you just blurt out, which [...]

Windish Agency And we wrap the week with (again) some link housecleaning from overseas, led by the next great Scottish synth-pop - if not spelling - hope, CHVRCHES . The trio, who placed a commendable fifth in the BBC's Sound Of 2013 poll, don't offer a groundbreaking sound but inviting electronic textures, sweetly earnest vocals, and big pop hooks really don't ever go out of style. They recently told an audience that their full-length debut shouldn't be expected until the Fall, but they're hoping to keep the excitement that started building around the [...]

After being told she was ''committing career suicide'' by NME after releasing her angriest track to date ''Underestimate the Girl'' Kate is back and more punk than we've ever heard her before. Feminism, love and a lot of bass have led to the release of her album girl talk. The question was, can Kate do punk? Well, she's managed it. The album is bursting with emotion with an overly punk-rock style with hints of surf rock and her well known poppy vocal. Part heart is the first track on the album, setting the scene with a heavy [...]

Dido – The Girl That Got Away (RCA) Thank You , no auge do seu sucesso, tinha uma aura de "músicas para café da manhã de hotel". A Dido acaba de inverter seu próprio jogo ao lançar um álbum deliciosamente noturno. Outro jogo invertido por Dido dessa vez foi todo o enquadramento de sua música no gênero easy listening. Dido começou sua carreira no desafiante gênero trip-hop, e retoma agora o seu lado afiado ao unir seu estilo pessoal com sutis nuances de dubstep. Sua [...]

By Richard Wink March 06, 2013 Kinda liked it, kinda hated it. Kate Nash has put out a marmite flavoured monstrosity. It’s not unusual for a pop star to take an about-turn and aim for the road of sincerity after getting overwhelmed by the welcoming wave of temporary ‘super’ stardom. The artist’s own values and integrity were sacrificed in favour of them willingly attaching strings to their limbs and dancing around for tenners and twenties as a major label puppet. Since [...]

Two Seattle bands top this week's list of new releases. Since 20112s full-length No Witch , The Cave Singers added Blood Brothers/Past Lives/Fleet Foxes (among others) member Morgan Henderson to their lineup and teamed up with Fleet Foxes producer Phil Ek for their fourth LP Naomi out on Jagjaguwar . Our Music Director Don Yates points to Ek's introduction bringing a "brighter, more easy-flowing sound" to a new batch of "smartly crafted songs that never overstay their welcome." They're joined atop the list by fellow Seattle band Hey Marseilles , whose [...]
