WEDNESDAY 11th APRIL // WEDNESDAY 11th APRIL

One Inch Badge presents:

2:54

For 2:54, everything comes from somewhere deep inside; that shared sisterly bond between Hannah and Colette Thurlow that manifests in their matching, messy hand gestures, the mirroring tattoos down their right arms, and their darkly triumphant, guitar-driven epics. Their relationship and the music they’ve been making together since they were teenagers are so intuitive that they struggle to describe it; but when they do, you know exactly what they mean.

Back in April they released the super limited edition, seven inch-only single ‘On A Wire’ through criminally hip label House Anxiety (The Big Pink, Zoo Kid), which was chosen by Radio 1’s Zane Lowe as his 'Next Hype' record of the week, beloved by indie champion Huw Stephens and even received breakthrough daytime plays by Fearne Cotton, as well as a session with XFM’s John Kennedy.

Not that there’s much danger of 2:54 sounding like anyone but themselves. Even after just a couple of singles their identity as a band is stronger than most who have years on them. Even if they can’t put it into words themselves. “As much as we can get away with not having to explain the songs,” laughs Hannah, “that’s how it should be. They should speak for themselves.”

WITH VERY SPECIAL GUEST:

CHELSEA WOLFE

California native Chelsea Wolfe has always embodied both light and dark. Yet though her music is a raw strain of electric folk tinted by black metal and deep blues, it never wallows in despair. Instead, it wraps itself like a thick blanket around the human experience, encouraging uplift, seeking triumph. Her voice is a haunting call, warm and lingering, and her lyrics acknowledge life’s obscure and melancholy moments in service to the unlikely truths and beauty they so often reveal. Her music exudes strength in the midst of adversity. It makes sense then that her influences run from Nick Cave and Selda Bagcan, to director Ingmar Bergman, with nods to the dramatic flair of Antony Hegarty, and even more so that she hails from the wilder, woodsy part of her state.
