Katlow
Katlow releases her debut double A single Gorgeous / 57 Manchester Road on May 4th via the Liverpool record label, Playground.
After fronting a clutch of bands while still attending school, Katlow started to shine as a solo talent in 2008 with gigs in her hometown venue at the West Coast Rock Café.
Word of mouth spread in the North West and Katlow was soon playing to a sold out venue on every visit. Promoters were quick to spot the burgeoning live talent and gigs soon followed at The Night And Day, The Globe and Zanzibar.
“One of the big influences to me has been Bob Dylan. I am in no way comparing myself to Dylan of course! But his words and music has been one of the strongest influences on me and my writing,” says Katlow.
The Liverpool Echo affectionately wrote ‘…It’s like Alex Turner’s little sister’s just turned up’
Frequent comparisons are made to Katlow’s song writing style with The Arctic Monkey’s leader Alex Turner.
Commenting on the Alex Turner comparisons, Katlow explains “That may just be due to the accent I sing in, but I think my writing style is very similar to there’s. I like to write about day to day life and normal situations”.
Katlow is already creating a ‘buzz’ amongst the industry in the North West. Gorgeous / 57 Manchester Road will introduce an unsuspecting public to one of the brightest new female talents to emerge from the talented North West.
A full UK tour and festival appearances will be announced shortly. Katlow’s debut London gig will be at Tommy Flynn’s on 18th April.
