Mistletone & Jet Black Cat Music present a Meredith side show for London's bar italia, plus special guests Wet Kiss. Touring hot on the heels of their new album Some Like It Hot, bar italia is an exhibitionist and muscular five-piece – equally comfortable at festival mosh-pit incitement and moments of pin-drop intimacy.
Some Like It Hot is the much anticipated follow up to bar italia’s two critically acclaimed albums on Matador, the poised Tracey Denim and the grand The Twits, which were released months apart. Since then, the band has traversed the globe with headline performances from Istanbul to Tokyo, sold-out multi-night stints in New York and Los Angeles, and festival slots from Glastonbury to Coachella.
Some Like It Hot is a 1959 film starring Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon about a group of rogue musicians on the adventure path. It is funny, sexy, rambunctious and evergreen – a showcase of a triple-threat cast at full-throttle. Some Like It Hot is also the new album by bar italia, and certain parallels are perhaps not accidental. It pulses with romance, intrigue, self-discovery and rapture over lustful rockers, spellbinding folk pop, punch-drunk ballads and undefinable moments that sneak upon you like a burst of 5pm sunshine.
The record is the culmination of the joint inner world of Nina Cristante, Jezmi Tarik Fehmi and Sam Fenton – three singer-songwriters who have transcended their underground roots to embrace a bold, widescreen horizon.
