Hands Off Gretel are mid-way through their UK ‘Kiss Me Girl’ Tour, including a live stream from Pirate Studios in London. The band will also join The Virginmarys on a support tour in November, including London, Manchester and Leeds dates.
Hands Off Gretel channel the best of old skool riot grrrl with grunge/pop rock to make a sound that is identifiably and unquestionably now. The band features Scream Queen Lauren Tate (lead vocals, Guitar), Becky Baldwin (Bass guitar, backing vocals), Sean Bon (lead guitar) and Sam Hobbins (Drums). Founding the band at just seventeen, 21 year old frontwoman Lauren is also the force behind the band’s song writing and recognisable aesthetic, creating all of the visuals, merchandise and producing all of their videos to date, including the latest “Kiss Me Girl’ and “S.A.S.S” video releases.
The “Kiss Me Girl” video has already accumulated over 28K views in just a few weeks: https://youtu.be/kU545r4RdGQ
