The Sound of Carnaby
Following a jam-packed Soho Music Month in June 2018, we caught up with Alex Tracey for the 411 on who’s hot in indie-pop and Rock the Belles DJ Emily Rawson to discover which new artists should be on our radar. Alex Tracey What was your highlight of Soho Music Month? We had an awesome time at the Newburgh Quarter Sessions, filled with sunshine, lovely people and music – what more could you want? Who’s top of your most recent playlist on Spotify? At the moment I’m listening to a lot of Motown. Martha Reeves and The Vandellas, Elton John, The Jackson 5, Marvin Gaye and DeBarge. Anyone we should look out for this season? Riscas is an awesome band. They’ve got an EP coming out soon, which I’m really excited for, and you should be too. Which indie bands should we have on our radar? Peace Frog, Sarpa Salpa and Saltwater Sun. All three put on such a great show. It was a great free event celebrating the best music the area has to offer. The Rock The Belles takeover for the Newburgh Quarter Sessions was awesome. What’s your album of the moment? ‘Hive Mind’ by The Internet. I’ve been waiting for this album for three years; they always come up with the perfect soundtrack that you can listen to at anytime of the year. What’s the song you can’t get enough of? Probably something from the 90s, possibly from Biggie’s ‘Life After Death’, which is one of my top five albums of all time. Emily Rawson What made Soho Music Month so special?
