NEWS: Piney Gir @ The Central Bar/ The Waiting Room

Next time you’re having a bad day, may I make the suggestion for some perfect listening material? A dose of Piney Gir is all that you need to cheer yourself up, particularly her latest album, the curiously monikered mR. hYDE’S wILD rIDE, which is full of effervescent pop hooks and retro-tinged melodies. You never quite know what you’re going to get next with the Kansas-born, London-based musician; but, whether she’s crooning country-tinged ditties or knocking out quirky indie tunes, Piney’s always a quality live act. See her in all her full-band splendour at two locations in the North East this month – The Waiting Room in Eaglescliffe on Thursday 10^th and The Central Bar, Gateshead on Friday 11^th September. She has good merch too, take your piggy bank.

Quality supports are in attendance at both shows: in Eaglescliffe, enjoy Daring BOY and Polly Garter for absolutely nothing; while in Gateshead the entertainment’s provided by alt. pop music maker The Shooting Of… and lo-fi folk stories from Nev Clay.

Piney Gir plays The Waiting Room, Eaglescliffe on Thursday 10^th and The Central Bar, Gateshead on Friday 11^th September.
