Los Angeles, CA. (Top40 Charts/ Geffen Records) - U.K. sensation
Kate Nash is gearing up for a short North American tour in the New Year in support of the U.S. release of her debut album Made of Bricks. Kicking things off with a performance at the Mod Club in Toronto January 7th Kate will then celebrate the release of her debut full length album in New York before heading to the west coast for additional dates (see below for complete itinerary). Made of Bricks will be released on Geffen Records January 8th.
In just 12 months since her first gig in the U.K., writing songs on her laptop while recuperating from a spill that left her with a broken foot, posting those songs on myspace, releasing her first single "Caroline's A Victim," signing with Fiction/Geffen Records, rocking the charts with her next single "Foundations" and seeing her debut album Made of Bricks enter the U.K. charts at No 1, Kate Nash, the 20 year old from Harrow, is now setting her sights on America.
Produced by Paul Epworth (Bloc Party, Babyshambles) Made of Bricks captures the life of a 20 year old who is full of mixed emotions about bad boyfriends and friendships and often searches for that inner child within us all. The U.K. press has lauded its praise upon the young Kate with the Daily Mail stating, "One of the most exciting talents to emerge this year refreshingly homespun and diverse," and NME saying "She's a unique talent the sweet yet savvy new troubadour of teenage street-life." The press in the U.S. has been just as supportive with the New York Times calling her debut album "loveable," Spin Magazine declaring it "Pop Ecstasy" and Rolling Stone featuring Kate as one of their "10 Artists To Watch."
