This week, avant folk quartet The New Eves released their new double A side single Original Sin / Mother. To celebrate they played a launch party at the Green Door Store, supported by DLD (who have been on my list to catch for a while, and didn’t disappoint) and not-so-local Borough Council.

For the uninitiated, The New Eves are as much a band as they are a feminist manifesto – gigs start with a spoken word piece received in hushed tones, and each member takes on multiple roles – playing different instruments ranging from guitar / bass / drums as you’d expect at the Green Door store, to strings, flute, and bass harmonica – all of which might be a bit much if they didn’t have the tunes to match. Which of course they do. Expect to hear a lot more from the New Eves.
