Sister Ray Selects: The Comet Came !
Thank you so much to everyone that came down to our first SOLD OUT Sister Ray Selects night - it was a huge success. We wanted to give a massive shout out to all the bands that played for us, particularly our fantastic headline 'The Comet is Coming', alongside great support sets from Oslo Twins and Earlids. We're also very grateful to the Windmill for helping host the event. We've attached some pictures from the night, taken by the wonderful Willow Shields. We'll have some more news on further gigs soon, so keep your eyes peeled. Sister Ray x
Sister Ray Selects: Mercury Prize Nominated Band To Headline
Sister Ray Selects We're all very excited for our first Sister Ray Selects night on Thursday! Live music has been such an instrumental part of all our lives and to have it missing has been tough. We still can't say much about our Secret Headliner, other than they are a 3 piece London group who have been nominated for the Mercury Prize in the past. More importantly they are a favorite of the shop. We're honored to have them as our first headliners, as we couldn't have asked for a more exciting band to launch Sister Ray Selects. It promises to be a...

She looked at me with pure bemusement and said “is THIS what you listen to when I’m not here?!?”. While the pairing don’t quite go into the...
Sister Ray's Mercury Prize Picks: Eve
I've been following Wolf Alice since I was a teenager, and my relationship with their music has shifted in parallel to their progressing style. From the angsty heavy riffs of their brilliant debut to the often melancholic tone of this latest release, it feels like their music has accompanied many of the major shifts of my life. It's hard to express what the old tracks mean to me and the people I grew up with. I can't hear 'Bros' without tearing up, thinking of the years I spent as a teenager following Wolf Alice with friends who are now scattered across...
Sister Ray's Mercury Prize Picks: Oli
Hi all, Oli here to follow up Eric's favourite nominee in Sister Ray's 2021 Mercury Prize Picks with my personal choice. I've chosen the debut album by Black Country, New Road, 'For The First Time'. Emerging from a tidal wave of hype and following rave reviews for their stunning live shows, 'For The First Time' is a mighty beast of an opening statement from the Cambridge seven-piece.Having followed this group from an early gig in 2019, seeing the progression of these tracks has been a thrilling experience and this resulting record is nothing short of breathtaking. From the fervent opening klezmer jam of...
