SoKo announces one-off show

By | Published on Thursday 18 June 2009

Despite the fact that she’s only ever released one EP (2007’s self-released ‘Not Sokute’) and rarely plays live, Soko enjoys the sort of buzz that most other people never achieve, even after years of work. In fact, so buzzy was her buzz that it all got too much for her and she quit the music business back in April, although she has seemingly been tempted into performing in London at Dingwalls on 23 Jul.

Whether this means she’s coming out of retirement, who knows. You probably still won’t ever hear her debut album, though. Back in April she told fan site SoKoMusic.com: “I’ve never planned on doing music, so everything that has been happening has been so amazing and I’m really grateful but it’s really scary for me and I’m just at that period of my life where I wonder if it’s really what I want. I did a record in a studio, that had cost a lot of money and I didn’t liked it cos it sounded too much like a studio record and not enough like my garage band crap that I like more. I thought it was a sign that I shouldn’t put it out… not now… maybe in 10, 20 years, but not now”.

Tickets for the Dingwalls show from tomorrow via Ticketweb and will set you back £10.50.
