5 Things You Should Know About She Makes War

We adore Laura Kidd. Her music is raw, deep and moving, and she is simply captivating in person, even when stood atop a compost heap at our Garden Party last summer. The way she indefatigably smashes new ground as an independent solo artist is an constant inspiration to us, and her creative and technical (geek alert!) talents are seemingly endless. We can’t wait to make beautiful music with her. See Five Things You Should Know About She Makes War Below.

2) She’s currently on tour with punk folk singer songwriter Chris T-T and is stopping off for a few days in Leeds before playing The Lantern Theatre in Sheffield on Friday.

3) Her newest video for “Exit Strategy” was shot in the corner of her living room and features her as Ms Pacman trapped in a Groundhog Day meets horror flick scenario. She has previously made videos dressed as a tree, a unicorn and a circus performer.

4) She’s performed on stage and telly with an eclectic bunch of artists including A-Ha (this is awesome, and well worth a watch for a giggle – Hux), Tricky, Duncan James, Alex Parks and Lil’ Chris and currently plays with French electro band The Penelopes… And she’s sung with David Bowie…in Series 2, Episode 2 of Extras. She also had a lovely chat with Stephen Merchant about glasses and made Ricky Gervais laugh.
