NIMMO
Amunda
Dahlia
for fans of… TSHA, 90s House, Jessie Ware
April 12th, 2023
Our last live guest to play before lockdown, London-based future pop outfit NIMMO return raw and more intimate than ever, baring it all. With glistening muscles and tough basslines, they have stepped into a sophisticated and liberated territory, celebrating the queer body and mind in all its glory.
New single ‘You Better Mean It’ serves as a thrilling taster of what’s to come for the pair’s next creative chapter. Harnessing a stripped and highly groove-based sound, Sarah and Reva’s voices are left to their best and instinctual devices, striding in and out of verse and bridge whilst gluing together intimately in the choruses.
“We wrote the track about the simple shared experiences that come with extreme love and escapism in club culture. It is a tongue-in-cheek nod to those nights where you or someone else overshares and everyone is left hoping that the love won’t simply disappear when the party does”.
An album is on the way, previewed in this live show.

A pair of our favourite no-frills, melody-driven indie punk bands, on tour together.
cheerbleederz formed through mutual appreciation for The Breeders, Snail Mail, Hop Along, Alvvays, Charly Bliss and Cayetana. Their songs touch thoughtfully on the lived experiences of women and marginalised people.
