Sadly Swedish indie four piece Girl Scout don’t have any new releases to feature (we’re promised some very soon), but for those of us in the UK we have a double helping of good news, thanks to not just one, but two imminent UK tours - the second supporting the always brilliant Canadian band Alvvays.
For those that haven’t come across them before, they’ve only been around a couple of years, but have made a great impression with their always tuneful indie guitar sound, ever since debut single ‘Do You Remember Sally Moore’ in 2022, which then featured on debut EP ‘Real Life Human Garbage’ - their second EP ‘Granny Music’ was released last year.
Those 2 EPs, coupled with a couple of new tracks no doubt, should give us a good set for their headline tour next week. Opening in Portsmouth on Monday, they head to Birmingham, with a long road trip to lovely Edinburgh before arriving in Manchester, where I hope to see them at the fabulous Deaf Institute. A couple of festival appearances hopefully help with the finances of the tour, before they headline at The Lexington in London on 28th May.
They’ll be supported at their solo dates by Dutch band Marathon, who recently released the particularly intense singles ‘Mind’ and ‘Fire - I’m looking forward to hearing their slightly heavier sound live.
Girl Scout then return with a great exposure support slot with Alvvays in June, although some shows including Manchester are sold out. Too bad if like me you hesitated. All these dates can be found on Facebook.
Or Instagram.
