She Drew The Gun: International Showcase Fund (SXSW)
She Drew The Gun, fronted by singer-songwriter Louisa Roach offer dreamy lyrically evocative psych-pop from the banks of the Mersey, Liverpool, UK. They released debut album ‘Memories of the Future’ in April 2016, the result of Louisa meeting with producer James Skelly and working with him at Skeleton Key Records. Singing about everything from Evolution, to Psychedelic love songs to Sci fi Protest songs, the now four piece have had an interesting year, beating over 5000 entrants to win the Glastonbury Emerging Talent competition, touring the UK and beyond, making their first appearance in Asia at Zandari Festa, South Korea, and continuing to win over DJ’s (BBC6Music, BBCRadio1, Radio X, Beats1) and fans without the backing of a major label.
“The most important song of 2016 (Poem)” Steve Lamacq BBC6 Music
“Junkyard Scouse soul.. built ingeniously on a Wirral council budget” ★★★★ Uncut
The award will help the band make the trip to the USA to appear at SXSW festival, introducing their debut album to North American Audiences for the first time.
