Getting to know… Eilis Frawley
Eilis isn’t just booking bands for us, she’s also an absolute expert at drums and spoken word and will be opening for So Beast at Monarch on June 20. Read the little Q&A we did with her:
Describe your band in 3 words
Drums (with) spoken word
What’s the best venue in the city you live in or the city you grew up in?
It has to be Neue Zukunft! (A little bias maybe as I work there) but where else can you see a show or two, eat a pizza and in the warmer months, sit outside and watch the trains go by?
What’s the best food you would like to find in your catering spread when arriving at a venue?
I LOVE to arrive to fresh berries. Nothing better than blueberries after a long drive. Otherwise a good (homemade) hummus and some vegetables does the trick.
What’s one weird item you always bring on tour?
I always put lavender pouches in my bags, so they smell less like tour and more like a grandmas house.
Do you write the music or the lyrics first?
I write lyrics almost everyday, mostly in the notes of my phone. Collecting ideas and slowly sorting them by theme. Then when I want to write a song I start with music first. Once the music has a basic form I decide the direction it should take, and find lyrics from my notes to match.
