Playing out live

“I definitely write for the album and worry about playing it live later,” EERA says when we turn to the subject of taking her sound out live. “I want to write, I don’t want to have that limitation in my head. When I write a record that’s always going to be challenging, especially if I want to play alone.

“My mate Doug who lives in Berlin has kindly agreed to give me lessons in Ableton. I want to create a solo set that represents me in a better way. I feel now when I play solo, it’s fine, but I’m represented too much like a singer/ songwriter girl and I don’t really see myself as that. That was me when I was 16. So he’s going to help me to kind of create a cooler way to present myself by using Ableton and not much backing track, but some triggers and some sounds and then I can put my mic through different sounds and I can create that kind of shoe-gazey rocky world with me on stage alone. If I can do that, I think

I’ll sound a lot stronger and people will get what I’m about more which I’m excited about.”
