THIS IS THE KIT AND ROZI PLAIN PLAY MISS PEAPOD’S IN CORNWALL
Two of Bristol’s finest female musicians – This Is The Kit and Rozi Plain – are heading down to Cornwall for a one off gig at Miss Peapod’s in Penryn.
This Is The Kit – is Kate Stables playing banjo, guitar and a voice of unaffected clarity accompanied by her Wild Band creating primal and electric textures on songs of unpretentious beauty. This Is The Kit keep good company; in 2006 they partnered Animal Collective, Tunng and Vashti Bunyan on Sunday Best’s Folk Off compilation. With each contemporary going on to bigger success with their next album and Drowned in Sound saying “its personal touch is largely what makes [This Is The Kit] the British highlight, not to mention that of the compilation as a whole” it’s easy to see how Wriggle out the Restless will be Kate’s first step in the same direction.
Rozi Plain was born Rosalind Leyden, in the leafy-greens of Winchester. Since moving to Bristol she’s been working on the ferries that bob in and out of the city, along the Avon, whilst creating her own beautifully intimate music that captures life slowly floating by. With her older brother Sam (aka Romanhead), and her pal Rachael Dadd, she is a founding member of the Cleaner Records collective – a loose assortment of singer-songwriters based in Bristol. The unassuming charm of Rozi’s live show has led to tours across Europe, the UK & USA. Notable tours include supporting Devendra Banhart (who fell for her debut album, and named it one of his albums of last year), James Yorkston and Viking Moses, as well as appearances at festivals such as Green Man and End Of The Road.
This is the Kit and Rosi Plain play Miss Peapod’s, Penryn, on Sunday 24 June. Tickets £6 / £5 NUS / £8 Door from www.wegottickets.com/misspeapods
