#ThrowbackThursday: GIHE w/ TABS 05.09.19

Due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and lockdown in the UK, we’re unable to make it into the Hoxton Radio studio to broadcast our weekly live new music show from 7-9pm. Instead, we’re sharing previous GIHE radio show recordings as #ThrowbackThursday sessions, so you can still enjoy 2 hours of new music tunes & chats with some of our favourite artists each week.

Today, we’ve picked our September 2019 show with London-based musician TABS. Tash, Kate and Mari spoke to her about her EP Love Like This, the amazing Butch, Please! night she organises at the Royal Vauxhall Tavern and how her experiences within the music industry pushed her to produce and release her own music.

#ThrowbackThursday: GIHE first radio show! (04/02/15)

Due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and lockdown in the UK, we’re unable to make it into the Hoxton Radio studio to broadcast our weekly live new music show from 7-9pm. Instead, we’re sharing previous GIHE radio show recordings as #ThrowbackThursday sessions, so you can still enjoy two hours of new music tunes & chats with some of our favourite artists each week.

As we’re celebrating our sixth anniversary of being on air this week, we’ve chosen to share our first ever radio show! Originally broadcast on the 4th February 2015, this show marked the first time Mari & Tash were live in the studio together (Kate would join them a year later). Originally branded as The Gigslutz Girls as Mari was their New Music Editor at the time, the pair were joined by Caitlin aka “the face of Gigslutz TV” for a Valentine’s special. They picked some of their top love songs and some not-so-loving songs alongside tracks from their favourite artists.

Thanks to everyone who’s supported the Get In Her Ears team since 2015. We’ve grown from a monthly radio show into a multi-platform organisation dedicated to sharing and celebrating the music of women, LGBTQ+ and non-binary artists. Here’s to another six years of that!

Listen back here:

Queen Of Japan – I Was Made For Lovin’ You

Track Of The Day: Bad Idea – ‘Winter’

A fuzzy, relatable guitar tune that playfully reflects on the desire for escapism whilst working a low paid job, Bad Idea have shared their latest single ‘Winter’. Released in partnership with RoseColoured Records, the Leeds band channel the joys and frustrations that come with growing up through pop-tinged melodies, soft vocals and catchy lyrics on this track.

Formed in 2016 on a drunken night out dancing to Madonna’s ‘Like A Prayer’, Bad Idea’s Sarah Sefton and Daniel Johnson chose the band’s name after entering into a new creative project and a new romantic relationship together at the same time. They put aside their concerns about how this might affect their musical dynamics and enlisted the help of new bandmates Charlie Peacock and Liam Lambert in 2019 to flesh out their lo-fi sounds.

In 2020, the band released their debut EP, the ironically titled I Just Want To Go Home, after recording the tracks intermittently between lockdowns in a friend’s basement. The result of their efforts is a joyful, fuzzy exploration of love, loss, nostalgia and moving on to new experiences. New single ‘Winter’ is a lush example of how the band have trusted their instincts and channelled their energies into creating buoyant, charming tunes.

Listen to ‘Winter’ below.
