Drawing from folk and post-punk influences, their visceral lyricism and striking aesthetic reflect a band with a clear and captivating vision. It’s no surprise their presence has resonated with listeners worldwide.
With international shows and festivals on the horizon, The New Eves tease the future and reflect on fan encounters in the latest instalment of our Seven Questions with Music Is To Blame series.
Introduce yourself and where you’re from.
We are Kate, Violet, Ella and Nina and we are based in Brighton
What do our readers need to know about you?
3 meals a day or we die.
What have you got coming up that you’re most excited for?
We are really excited but we can't tell you why just yet. However we are going to Sweden in May and that makes us all very happy.
What’s the best run-in you’ve had with a fan?
One time Violet was approached by a fan in London who started by saying "I'm going to see you later" but she forgot she was playing a show, so she just told him to fuck off and ran away. The poor guy came to the show later feeling so bad. Kate also got recognised in Lancaster service station once after playing a show in Manchester. We've had some crazy synchronicities like Ella bumping into someone she knew in a tiny town in Texas.
What’s been your biggest ‘I’ve made it’ moment so far?
The first time we were ever given dinner and treated properly whilst at a show was at Left Of The Dial in Rotterdam, that was a game changer. Luckily we have had a few more since then but it's still such a high every time we are fed and treated nicely.
What are your three “desert island” albums?
'Good God! A Gospel Funk Hymnal' (compilation), 'Rememberer' by Radio Anorak, 'Love Is Overtaking Me' by Arthur Russell
Sum up your sound in three words.
Big hag energy.
