Sisters

Conceptually, ‘Sisters’ was born in many different places at many different times. The weepy-ethereal-grunge-rock band first took form in Liverpool after five unsuspecting musicians who all moved for university to study music often found themselves ending up in a room together making music.

Lead singer, Gigi born in Brooklyn first met drummer James in Michigan at 16, the rest of the band were initially scattered across the globe as well, bass player Odelia being from Baltimore, synthesist Mira from Switzerland & guitarist Lewis being from a small town outside of London.

When Sisters hit the Liverpool scene it didn’t take them very long to get on the good side of audience members & promoters. In only one year they had their tracks played on BBC Radio, headlined Rough Trade & completely an east coast tour in America. They're coming off the back of a UK tour that spanned eight cities in the space of two weeks!

They’ve featured in Boot magazine, landing a performance slot plus interview for New Cult which is Heist or Hit’s showcase night in Manchester & they recently performed & recorded a set of 4 songs from their ‘Bite’ EP at Low Four Studios in Manchester.
