Happy New Year and Go Violets

Overview

When it comes to people born on significant holidays, I’m never too sure whether to be jealous or show sympathy towards them. You’re meant to be celebrating your birth, the birth of someone amazing, and not something like Christmas or New Years.  Besides, if you’re born on Christmas then people think that’s an excellent excuse to buy you one ‘combined’ present instead of two (cheapskates). I hate those people (on a related note: I am still a child).

I guess Eleanor Logan doesn’t share the same sentiments about holiday-cum-birthdays that I do – born on December 31, she’s the Happiest of New Years, adopting the holiday as her stage name. Born in Australia but based in Brooklyn, Logan’s back in the motherland for the summer and is playing a show at X & Y to celebrate.

Happy New Year’s supported by only the most babing of babe four-piece outfits, Go Violets. According to their bio they’re “all summer pop, slipped beats, bad guitar jacks and legs”. Saturday needs to get here faster.
