*Tips for 2012* #3 The Staves

The Staves live are just incredible. They have a few cracking tunes and their heavenly harmonies are so refined and seemingly effortless. The kind of thing you'd only get from growing up singing together from when first they could hold a note. I first came across them last year and was left with a lasting impression. I also witnessed a great performance from them at Bushstock.

They got their first play on BBC Radio1 by Fearne Cotton this week and their ep 'Mexico' is out on December 11th. You can get a free download of a couple of live tracks from their website.

2012 looks set to be an interesting year for the Staveley-Taylor sisters. They just finished their first UK headline tour with the last show in Brighton, which I had the privilege of attending. They will follow this up by touring the USA with Civil Wars, before returning to tour with Michael Kiwanuka.

Here is the video to the single 'Mexico' from the ep.

I for one look forward to seeing them again soon!
