Laura Stevenson

Laura Stevenson already has a few upcoming shows, including one in NYC with Crying, Chris Farren and Anika Pyle on April 2 at Mercury Lounge. Tickets for that one are still on sale, and she’s also added a second NYC show for April 29 at Shea Stadium with Crying and Chris Farren. Tickets for that one go on sale Friday (1/15) at 2 PM. Updated dates are listed below.

Speaking of Anika Pyle, her band Chumped recently announced their final NYC show, and her new band Katie Ellen (with Chumped drummer Dan Frelly) just released a new three-song demo. It features “Lucy Stone” and two new songs, “Wild <3" and "TV Dreams." More lo-fi than Chumped (but also it's of course a demo), but just as driving and addictive. Check it out below.
