Girl Power

Miss your annual dose of Laneway Festival? The same folk behind it have come together to form a new business collective, 24OWLS, and its first project The Alex Blake Charlie Sessions. The brand new day-long event will take place at the disused Pasir Panjang Power Station, a heritage site; and features a strong female-fronted lineup including HearHer, Loud Women Fest and Girls Just Wanna Weekend. Spanning genres from pop rock and R&B to indie folk and electronica, the first wave of acts include Welsh avant-pop musician, Cate Le Bon (pictured); Brooklyn power-pop band, Charly Bliss; British post-punk band, Goat Girl; American DJ duo, Ladies Of LCD Soundsystem; British indie pop band, Kero Kero Bonito; and Northern Irish singer-songwriter, Soak. Flying the Singapore flag will be electronic music artist Vandetta and local shoegaze band Astreal's Ginette Chittick.

The Alex Blake Charlie Sessions takes place at Pasir Panjang Power Station on Dec 7 from 10am to late. Tickets from S$100 on sale via APACTix. Check alexblakecharlie.sg for updates.
