Rock duo Nova Twins made a surprise appearance at the Climate Live show at the Camden Stables, London on Saturday (6th November). The concert was to raise awareness of climate change and was a part of the COP26 Global Petition.
Nova Twins consisting of vocalist/guitarist Amy Love and bassist Georgia South has been named by Rolling Stone UK magazine as “the most vital rock band in Britain right now”. The band headlined the Climate Live show and performed alongside indie rock band Second Thoughts and Dj sets from Girli and July Jones. See the footage and pictures from the gig below:
>One of the tracks performed by the duo was their recent single “Antagonist”. The song has been released last month via Marshall Records and was their first new music since the debut album from 2020 Who Are The Girls?. The song debuted on Hottest Record on BBC Radio 1 with Clara Amfo on 27th October. Watch the video for it below.
Nova Twins shared recently that they are five songs ahead in the recording process of the next, second album. South commented: “We’re definitely experimenting with things, and it sounds more like us than ever, in a way. All those little details and the scrappiness of things, that’s what feels ‘Nova’. To stay DIY but to keep progressing, it’s cool to send a message that anyone can do it… Just get grafting, and you can make magic”.
“Our thing has always been that if you can’t play it yourself on guitar, drums and bass, it’s not going on the record. We’re not saying that we’ll never go bigger, but for where we’re at with a second record, it’s nice to feel like it’s still a ‘come as you are’ kind of thing. We don’t want to say too much just yet, but trust us – when this album comes out, we feel like you’ll know about it!” added Love.
The Climate Live initiative has been launched in November last year and debuted this year’s April. They aim to “enlarge the global movement [to fight climate change] by engaging with a new audience through music”.
“It all began as a glimmer of an idea in May 2019 that then caught the attention of youth across the globe. It has been humbling to see so many getting involved: there have been regular calls with organisers in over 40 countries as we grappled with the logistics to pull all the events off. It was incredible seeing Greta Thunberg launch the first of the concerts in 20 countries across the world and here we are today with the latest in the series” commented Climate Live Founder Frances Fox.
