CMAT
Tuesday 2nd September
at Circuit, 7:00pm (14+)
Admission will be via e-ticket. Your e-ticket will be delivered to your email address in time for the show (typically the day before the event).To celebrate the release of the new album 'EURO-COUNTRY', CMAT returns to Kingston to play a stripped back set at Pryzm.t’s almost inconceivable that it’s only five years since the arrival of CMAT, as she approaches the release of her third album, EURO-COUNTRY. This BRITs / Mercury / Ivors-nominated acronymic star feels like she’s been part of the culture forever - and what has endeared fans to her heart-sore tunes and humour is CMAT's ability to combine contradictory themes and moods: wide-eye drama with self-deprecation.Country music has always been a lynchpin for CMAT, but this is country in an augmented, reimagined way. Mixed with classic indie and affirmative soul-pop, it resists the music industry’s desire to pigeonhole artists as one genre.Not only is there a palpable tonal shift, EURO-COUNTRY also feels like a huge step-up creatively. There is a sense of determination, of urgency, of ‘gather round and listen up’.From re-evaluating where you come from (geographically, metaphorically) and the impact of economics on a small country, to the attention that comes with increased fame (not all of it good) and being a woman in the music industry-Times TBC but we expect doors at 7:00pm with a stage time of 8:00pmThose aged 14+ can attend unaccompanied. 8 to 13 year olds must be accompanied by a ticket-holding adult (18+). No under 8s, sorry.Circuit, 154 Clarence Street, Kingston Upon Thames (KT1 1QP) - the venue formerly known as Pryzm.

Saturday 14th October
at Signing Session. 9:00pm
Right after her show at Pryzm, CMAT returns to Banquet Records to sign copies of the new album 'Crazymad, For Me'. Come on down after the gig to get your album signed and grab a picture! All are welcome but we'll give dibs to anyone who gets / got the album from us.Upcoming second album CrazyMad, For Me takes popstar CMAT through a reinvention of what came before: this is the grand statement of an ambitious mature sound, a textured sonic feel and details of a complex emotional and metaphorical landscape. “It’s an abstract break-up album… about what happens when you are still angry about something that happened 10 years ago.” It’s grand, full of hooks and picture-painting lyrics projected by her singular vocals. It’s the mainstream indie that CMAT loved as a teenager, filtered through 20th century country music, amplified by knowledge of 80s and 90s pop hits with a slide guitar and a camp twist. Complex, intimate and with influences far-flung across time and place, CrazyMad, For Me is an instant classic album for the broadest audience.-9:00pm start with all ages welcome.
