Austra (w/Tess Roby)

Austra mixes high-emotion electropop with genuine musical chops and a cracking set of pipes (Katie Stelmanis is a former opera singer). The songs are pretty good too, beautiful, vivid and cinematic, and I'm looking forward to hear them booming out of a Village Underground-sized sound system. Here are some of the greatest hits:

Lose It: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LJtMrhb558

I Love You More Than You Love Yourself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AE9ePc0OTjs

And a new single, Siren Song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nF3DuUOL00k

Synthtastic support comes from Tess Roby, possibly the person who sounds the most like Austra without being in Austra. This is what she sounds like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkae-9a2av0

Tickets are just over the £20 mark and available here. Doors open at half seven and we can meet for a pre-drink at the Griffin nearby at the same time.
