Louisa Roach embarks on a solo tour which marries music and poetry
You wouldn’t necessarily expect an artist working in the questionable ‘cosmic Scouser’ field to foreground some serious and committed political viewpoints, but that’s one of the intriguing contradictions around Merseyside band She Drew The Gun and their founding member Louisa Roach. The band have released three well-received albums (most recently Behave Myself in 2021), and the previous two – Memories Of The Future and Revolution Of Mind – are about to get a double-vinyl reissue as Memories Of The Revolution.
In tandem with that, Roach is about to embark on a solo UK tour (still under the She Drew The Gun name), stopping off at Stockton’s Georgian Theatre on Sunday 26th February, which marries music and poetry in a nod to the project’s origins. As Roach explains: “I’ll be doing a run of intimate unplugged shows, stripping it back to poetry and music. I’m excited to go back to the roots of this thing that started with me and a guitar, and get to play around with songs and poems from across three albums and more.”
