She Keeps Bees // Eight Houses

Pavlis has to apologise for a long delayed review of a scorcher of an EP.

A magnificent debut album from a band that has been on Pavlis’ radar for a good while now.

Here is a collection of songs to feast on, a taster menu of all that Eliza and her pals offer, one artfully window dressed in poignant lyricism, of love and longing and loss.

Two arguably unrecognised classics get the rerelease treatment and are well worth checking out.

Support local talent. Buy this album. And watch Kitewing soar.

It’s a brilliant debut with all the flavours and buzz of that very special gig.

Bluesy garage tock ‘n’ roll ‘n’ soul never testified so hard. An enthralling, joyous wall of beautiful sound.

Another evening of quiet, mellow, contemplative music. Or not…

Another excellent evening at the Holloway.

Hardcore that it is as fun as it is intense and cathartic? Yes, please.

A cracking night of post-punky, riot-grrlesque, doomy catharsis.

A mixed bag where Pavlis enjoyed both supports but was less moved by the headliners than the rest of the crowd.
