New EMI signing from Los Angeles, A Fine Frenzy has announced three London dates this coming weekend, two of which are in support of Jamie Scott & the Town.

Sounding like a mix between Gemma Hayes and Imogen Heap, Alison Sudol, otherwise known as A Fine Frenzy, is already acheiving moderate success stateside with musical appearances on programs such as House, CSI:NY and One Tree Hill. Oh, and if you see the (brilliant) new film “Dan in Real Life”, she’s on the soundtrack - getting around a fair bit these days! Her lyrics are distinctly literary-orientated, and is likely to be the soundtrack to many 20-somethings this winter.

So why not go and check her out at the below three dates. I’m sure she’ll be back to the UK, knowing what fine taste we have.

Thursday 22nd November - Lock Tavern, Camden, London (supporting Jamie Scott & The Town)
Monday 26th November - The Bedford, Balham, London
Tuesday 27th November - The Troubadour, London (supporting Jamie Scott & The Town)
