At first glance Louisa Roach’s fuzzy psych-pop project may suggest that the Wirral born songwriter is another ‘Cosmic Scouser’ but then you’re drawn into the spirit of rebellion, songs that rally against injustice and food banks and celebrate outsiderdom.
Roach was late to music, releasing her first LP ‘Memories of the future’ after a decade of motherhood and studying at college. The second LP ‘ Revolution of Mind’, released October 2018, continued the fine work laid out on her 2016 debut. Announced in the top 10 albums of 2018 by BBCRadio6 Music, the record was one of the runaway indie successes of the year.
To coincide with the new LP ‘Memories of the Revolution’, She Drew the Gun have also announced the ‘Music & Poetry Tour’ – an intimate run of stripped-back shows showcasing Roach’s raw talent at its most minimalistic. Speaking on the upcoming shows, Roach says, “I’m excited to go back to the roots of this thing that started with me and a guitar. It [feels] like a great time to revisit those songs and do something I haven’t done before.”
