Katie Alice Brighton Headline

Brighton-based newcomer frances mistry is a refreshingly original alternative-Indie artist, whose songs’ autobiographical stories are carried along by her haunting melodies and strident guitar riffs that has lauded by the likes of BBC Radio 1’s Jack Saunders as a “proper, authentic artist.” and long-listed in Glastonbury’s 2022 prestigious Emerging Talent competition. The Loud LDN collective member will be a new name to many, but is making music that’s unforgettably punchy yet delicate at the same time. She cites influences such as beabadoobee, Clairo and Jay Som, but sometimes the songwriter’s melodies nod to the work of The Sundays. Mistry doesn’t doubt that her influences are enormously diverse and include everything from the band America, to The Cure to a raft of more current artists. With a 2nd EP released in May 2024, frances has already opened for the likes of Paris Paloma (and opening for her again in November at CHALK, Brighton) and WILDES. Frances is currently working with whiteboard pr to promote her releases.
