^ Upstairs ^ “Kate Stables has been recording music as This Is The Kit for years now, but this is probably one of the first times you’re reading about her. Bashed Out will be her third full-length album, and…it will also likely be her breakout.” – Stereogum “just one of the best things i’ve heard all year….wonderful wonderful stuff” – Guy Garvey, BBC 6 Music Ahead of the release of their new album “Bashed Out” This Is The Kit have announced a three date Irish tour this spring. Thursday 7 April: BELFAST, McHugh’s Friday 8 April: DUBLIN, Upstairs at Whelan’s Saturday 9 April: CORK, Cyprus Avenue Tickets for all shows are on sale now from Ticketmaster.ie or local venue box offices. This Is The Kit is the much beloved musical project of Kate Stables, born in England and based in Paris, though the heart of their musical community remains in Bristol, UK. Kate sings, plays guitar, banjo, trumpet and percussion, while a cast of carefully hand-plucked friends deliver guitar strums, banjo plucks, hushed horns and electronic textures that sit beneath Stables’ easy, earnest lilt. Her long time collaborator and regular live companion Jesse Vernon produced the album and contributes guitars, percussion, violin and percussion. While on tour, This is the Kit is a shape shifting entity ranging from a female duo with friend Rozi Plain to a psychedelia tinged five electric five-piece.
