Nottingham rockers Patchwork Grace release the first single from last year’s critically acclaimed debut album, Milk Teeth, on August 11th.
The Lovecats – a cover of the Cure’s 1983 indie classic – has been given a 2008 make over without losing any of the original’s charm and passion. Patchwork Grace fuse the right amount of urgency, glamour and swagger into their take on this timeless tune. This is the first time that the song has been released as a single with a female lead vocal.
Vocalist Tori Trash takes up the story: “As a band we wanted to find a cover that would reflect out eclectic tastes but that we could also put Patchwork Grace’s stamp all over. The Lovecats is a great song with an incredible melody that is truly infectious. I think our version is contemporary sounding without taking anything away from the original. We’ve also included a live version of the song on the single – The Cure rarely play it live because their version is difficult to reproduce because of the effects they use, we made sure we could play ours!”
Patchwork Grace are touring the UK supporting Canadian rocker Robin Black to support the single release on August 11th: The tour starts on July 30th in Carlisle and winds up with a hometown show as part of this year’s Trashstock Festival at Nottingham’s Junktion 7.
