Protomartyr announce Q&A event with The Raincoats

Protomartyr head over to the UK for a brief tour in May and have today announced they will host a Q&A at London's Rough Trade East record store. They will be joined by Ana da Silva, Gina Birch and Vicki Aspinall of seminal post-punk band The Raincoats on May 10th.

Protomartyr’s Greg Ahee had this to say: “The Raincoats challenge and inspire me more than just about any other band. While their debut LP introduced the world to a brilliant group of women exploring their wildly eclectic talents, Odyshape exists in its own universe. It’s beguiling, innovative, and completely haunting - overflowing with creative energy and ideas to unpack. With every listen I discover something new and thrilling.”

The Raincoats’s Ana da Silva responded: "Protomartyr's music is so exciting and passionate and carries you to places where their imagination opens doors to yours. I was thrilled to know that The Raincoats’ Odyshape meant something to Greg and felt really overwhelmed when I was invited to perform with them at the Scala, in London. 'Relatives in descent’?"

The event kicks of at 1pm and is free, further info here.
