EKKAH Announce Autumn UK Tour
WATCH: ‘Figure It Out Live’ @ Total Refreshment Centre
“Best friends make the best music together” – Rookie
“Ekkah… flood this dingy basement with slick R&B-flecked pop that’s like aural serotonin. Mixing ‘Call Me’-era Blondie with Blood Orange, if they carry on like this, Ekkah can ditch the day job.” NME Live Review
“Wearing gold jackets – one slinky, one bomber – and co-ordinating their dance moves, Ekkah come across as gilded night-creatures-next-door singing about love and dancing” – The Guardian Live Review
“Shimmering, funk-inspired pop” – The Telegraph
If you haven’t caught EKKAH live yet, this full headline autumn tour is your next chance – and not one to be missed. Less than a year since they independently released their debut EP ‘Last Chance to Dance’, the tour will be accompanied by a brand new EP to be released on new label home RCA.
Led by its title track single, the ‘Last Chance to Dance’ EP mixed modern dance-floor infatuation and intoxicating groove with emotive, enamoured melody, and introduced long-time friends Rebekah Pennington and Rebecca Wilson as an exciting new duo to keep a watchful eye on in the landscape of sophisticated UK pop as 2015 unfolded.
On the live front, EKKAH went on to play a few select UK cities in April and subsequently performed at TGE, Glastonbury (BBC Introducing Stage) and alongside Kylie at BST in Hyde Park in June. The dates outlined below mark their biggest tour to date and, along with the soon to be announced EP, are sure to cement EKKAH as the modern girl group to back in 2016.
To get a taste of their brilliantly fresh downtown disco sound live, watch EKKAH perform ‘Figure It Out’ at the Total Refreshment Centre below
