Loose Articles – Kick Like A Girl Extra Time!
Rounding out a huge 2024 for the band following the release of their long-awaited debut album, Scream If You Wanna Go Faster, via Alcopop! Records, Manchester punks Loose Articles are delighted to announce news of their Arts Council England-funded Kick Like A Girl Extra Time! touring project for 2025.
Recently winning themselves coveted, high profile support slots with the likes of New Order, Foo Fighters, The Lovely Eggs, and Gang of Four, the quartet are proudly presenting an alternative touring model with their own run of headline dates next year.
Giving inclusive, intimate access and entry-level insights into the music industry, whilst supporting grassroots venues and northern creatives, the band invite you to join them on their musical journey. They will be sharing the secrets of what it’s really like to be in their shoes, and a part of the Loose Articles touring team, which includes female booking agents, crew, promoter, and management.
Although tickets will be available to all-comers for the shows, the KLAG project is aimed at primarily engaging young female and non-binary people from marginalised backgrounds and groups who typically aren’t represented in the music industry. The band will illuminate the pathways into the often male-dominated music scene with community outreach locally via local community groups in each town.
If you are female or non-binary come along to shadow both the band and crew at soundcheck, and ask as many questions as you like afterwards. Your name will be added to the band’s VIP LAFC club, and you and a guardian/friend will be placed on a special VIP guest list that night for the show. These special VIP tickets are free and available on a first come, first served basis.
Participants will continue to be part of the band’s music industry journey with early invites to tours, the opportunity to join a gig buddy scheme, attendance at special events, and they’ll signpost you to music industry opportunities that are happening locally.
For a free ticket to a soundcheck and Q&A please send an email request with your name to: Alison Surtees at alison@almaisonproducers.net
