Young and lost, witty and wise, beauty with bite and a hangover - Kat Flint is one of the most engaging acoustic artists around, with a rapidly growing following, a distinctive way with words and a reputation for intimate live shows radiating her peculiar blend of energy, sarcasm and indie-folk charm. Her eloquent tales of junkyard prostitutes, the end of the world and life in the fearsome crowd have won many admirers, and debut release 'The Secret Boy's Club' is a love letter to the children we were, the adults we become and the places we make for ourselves in the world. Recorded in a living room on a shoestring, with an ear for a good tune, a mischievous sense of fun and an ever-expanding arsenal of playschool instruments (and cardboard boxes), it's a slice of the good, old-fashioned lyrical wrapped in the home-made whimsical.
Kat is the winner of the inaugral New Lyric Award, presented by Ray Davies and Channel 4, and spent March touring with Rough Trade's folk darling Cara Dillon, playing 16 dates across the UK as chief tour support, having been hand-picked by Cara and Rough Trade despite being unsigned and unheard-of.
Born in Barbados, raised in Aberdeen and coming of age in Edinburgh, she now splits her time between London and Glasgow. She quite likes trains, which is a good thing really... Her debut releae 'the secret boy's club' is available now from Rough Trade, and online at http://www.roughtrade.com
