On Stage
The Alcove
Thursday
The Itch pair undulating dancefloor fillers with disenchanted pop songs which have been filling sweaty basements throughout the country for the last 18 months. The band are led by Simon Tyrie & Georgia Hardy who met their bandmates performing at a Talking Heads covers night. On their debut LP – It’s The Hope That Kills You – out now via Fiction + I Oh You Records, The Itch have captured a moment in time to conjure an album which is both a product of and an antidote to an age of pessimism.
