Birmingham show for Our Girl
Following the release of their acclaimed debut album Stranger Today, Our Girl embark on an autumn tour that stops off in Birmingham.
The extensive nationwide tour arrives at The Sunflower Lounge on October 12 where fans will be able to hear the new record played.
Guitarist and vocalist Soph Nathan, bassist Josh Tyler and drummer Lauren Wilson make up Our Girl. Since forming in Nathan and Tyler’s Brighton home four years ago - Wilson joining as a late recruit when she was wowed by a demo of their self-titled debut track - Our Girl’s members have only had pockets of time to work together.
A day booked in a local studio here, a soundcheck there, full-time jobs and other projects meant the three rarely had a concentrated, collective patch. This changed in September 2017, when they stayed in Eve Studios in Stockport for a week, recording with Bill Ryder-Jones. Their week in Stockport became a crucial catalyst for what would follow.
Stranger Today arrived. “What band isn’t itching to make their debut? But it’s quite frightening, knowing you’re about to do it,” Wilson remembers.
Nathan also remembers being in Brighton four years ago, shortly after Our Girl formed, and realising: “I was finally in the band I wanted to be in.”
Tickets for their The Sunflower Lounge gig, priced £8 in advance, are available here.
