Sister Ray Selects: Live Review

Sister Ray Selects: Live Review

Walking into the legendary Windmill once again, there is an air of excitement and anticipation that differs ever so slightly from the average gig. This is likely many attendee's first show since lockdown forced everyone to close up shop, and what a way for them to celebrate their return to the club and venue circuit; tonight we are graced with no-wave/experimental duo Earlids, dream pop outfit Oslo Twins and London jazz maestros Comet Is Coming. Drinks flow freely and there is an incessant chattering as fans eagerly await the first act of the night. Earlids, comprised of Oliver Harper and...

Sister Ray Interviews: Italia 90

  We're very excited to announce the start of a new series for the shop - Sister Ray Interviews! To launch the new feature we had a sit down with a shop favorite in Italia 90.

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...
