Irish-Cornish indie-folk band bring Celtic storytelling to King Tut's, with a raw and emotionally charged sound.
Girl In The Year Above play King Tut's Wah Wah Hut on Sunday 18 October, with doors opening at 19:30. They're an Irish-Cornish band, and the sound they're building pulls Celtic storytelling into something with a fierce, emotionally charged edge, leaning into vulnerability and volatility to capture the raw, chaotic beauty of being alive.
They're still a newly born act, but they've already picked up a reputation as one to watch. People have pointed to their magnetic energy and the emotional weight of their songwriting, and they've built a name for encouraging people to live authentically. It's the kind of thing that usually takes a few years to settle into, but they're already being talked about in those terms.
They've spent time on the road, touring with Seb Lowe and joining Razorlight, and they've earned praise for their heartfelt storytelling and bold emotional expression. That's a good way to get a feel for what they do: it's folk at its core, but it's not the polite, background sort. It's more about the stories and the weight behind them, and they're not afraid to let the edges stay a bit raw.
