Everything But The Girl have announced that they will be playing their first shows in 25 years in London soon.
It comes after January 2023 saw the band return with their first new music in 24 years, dropping the stirring single ‘Nothing Left To Lose’.
It marked the lead single to their then-upcoming new studio album titled ‘Fuse’, and was followed by other singles including ‘Caution To The Wind’ and ‘Run A Red Light’.
Now, after sharing their comeback album in April 2023, the band have now confirmed that they will be taking to the stage again for their first live shows in a quarter of a century.
They made the announcement on social media, confirming that they would be taking to the stage at an intimate London venue next month for two back-to-back shows. The gigs will see singer Tracey Thorn and multi-instrumentalist Ben Watt joined by Rex Horan on bass, and tickets are already sold out.
“Hi, all. We play two shows at London’s MOTH club, Apr 6 & 7,” they began in the update. “Just us two, with Rex Horan on bass. No club bangers, just a chill folk-tronic vibe. Tickets offered to UK mailing list at 9am today. Sold out instantly. We hope to do more soon.”
“We loved making ‘Fuse’ together in 2022, and we wanted to do something else. And that slowly turned into a conversation about playing live again. When we pictured how, we realised we just wanted to play a few songs – including some we’d never done before – in a small club. Front room, friends and family vibe.”
The indie-electronica duo released 10 albums before they split in 2000, their last before the reunion being 1999’s ‘Temperamental’.
Their most successful record was 1996’s ‘Walking Wounded’, and they also scored top 10 singles with that album’s title track along with the likes of ‘Wrong’ and the Todd Terry remix of ‘Missing’. When they parted ways, Tracey Thorn enjoyed a solo career while also working as a writer. During that time, Ben Watt became an international DJ, remixer, solo artist and label boss.
Speaking to NME about their comeback, Watt said: “We’ve never been a particularly nostalgic band – we’ve always been known for making a different record every time. Sometimes that’s meant going against the mainstream, but we just try to keep ourselves interested and keep things contemporary.
“We wanted to come back with something modern-sounding,” he added. “We’re not out there on the heritage trail doing ‘best of’ tours or playing arenas. We just wanted to make a piece of work that would sound great now in 2023. That was the driver.”
Upon its release, ‘Fuse’ was given a glowing four-star review by NME and described as “immensely satisfying”.
“Beyond the release of this project, the band have little in the way announced for upcoming shows, but the strength of their return on ‘Fuse’ is plenty,” it read. “This is the rare occasion of a reunion between collaborators – as partners, parents, creators – that proves how big an impact their music has made on the landscape that has followed, and to enjoy and seize this moment while it’s here.”
