Alice Gold, Monument Valley, The Robert Lane Band, Tara

A powerful pull of both masculine and feminine, laced together with straight out Patti Smith punk spirit and a keen pop ear, Alice Gold channels a definite pop sound but with a rock ‘n’ roll edge. Since the release of her debut single last year Alice has toured with the likes of Eels, Athlete, Band Of Skulls, and Noah And The Whale, as well as being shortlisted for Q magazine’s ‘Next Big Thing’ award.

Gold by name and gold by nature, there is immense warmth in Alice’s sound and lyrics which is illustrated beautifully in her debut album ‘Seven Rainbows’ that is made up of dense, complex atmospherics and an effortless melodic sophistication.
