press release: Natalie Prass will be at High Noon Saloon on September 20. Following a tour with Fleet Foxes and performances on CONAN and NPR Music, Prass brings her celebratory and defiant new album to the stage on her headlining "The Future And The Past Tour." Prass' new album already has received praise from Pitchfork, Vulture, The Fader and more, and Rolling Stone has deemed her one of the best acts at this year's SXSW, saying her show was "the sound of a musician hitting her stride." Watch her perform "Short Court Style" on CONAN:

One of the most raved about artists at this year’s SXSW, Stella Donnelly will return to North America this fall for comprehensive touring in support of her debut “Thrush Metal” EP, available digitally now and as a 12” on June 22 via Secretly Canadian. The New York Times named Donnelly one of “17 Acts That Stood Out” at SXSW, and the Los Angeles Times recognized her as being one of a number of artists “whose art was openly frank about real life and remarkably cognizant of the audience, so much so that her songs extended a hand as much as they told a story or presented a point of view.” Adding onto their effusive pre-and-post-SXSW praise, NPR Music has now named Donnelly a 2018 Slingshot Artist, “a collective effort among taste-making music stations to introduce exceptional up-and-coming artists.”

Raised between Wales and the burbs of Western Australia, where she currently lives, Donnelly presents brutally honest and witty observations of people and relationships transformed into blissful poems and lyrical punch lines. Her relatable way of writing is her lens to the world in which we live, a glimpse into what it’s like to be a millennial woman in the age of Trump, Tinder and third wave feminism.
