She Drew the Gun is a band from Wirral, England, fronted by singer/songwriter Louisa Roach. They won the Glastonbury Festival Emerging Talent competition in 2016. Their music is described as psych pop and is known for its often political lyrics.[1][2]

Background

[edit | edit source]

She Drew the Gun started as a solo project for Louisa Roach.[3] Gradually she formed a four-piece live band and toured the UK supporting The Sundowners in early 2015, before signing with Skeleton Key Records.[4] The 2016 incarnation of the band included drummer Sian Monaghan, guitarist Jack Turner and multi-instrumentalist Jenni Kickhefer.[5]

In 2016, the band along with numerous other celebrities, toured the UK to support Jeremy Corbyn's bid to become Prime Minister.[6]

In April 2016, She Drew the Gun was chosen from a long-list of 120 entries to the Glastonbury Festival Emerging Artists competition. After performing with the other seven finalists, they were named as winners with a prize of £5000 and a slot on one of Glastonbury Festival's main stages.[7] They performed on the John Peel Stage on Sunday 26 June.

Singles from their debut album, Memories of Another Future, were playlisted on BBC Radio 6.[8]

In 2017, the band performed at the SXSW festival before going on their own UK tour.[8] In 2018 they went on a UK tour to promote their second album Revolution of Mind, which was released on 5 October.[8] Clash magazine described the album as "a confident, immersive sophomore effort" and "a stellar return from a truly important group".[9]
