It's not easy to have such nonchalance and genuine cool credentials, but Lissy Trullie appears to have all the boxes ticked. And she doesn't just look good on paper either. Described in glowing terms (not a regular habit of the music press we'd like to add) by NY's Time Out - Swide reads on...

"...deadly downtown looks -- striking, model thin and with a penchant for bowler hats -- she's got the attitude and serious songwriting chops to match. Her dangerously cool tunes, which mash up dancey new wave, '60's girl-group sounds and the softer side of the Velvet Underground, hit upon the core aloofness that typifies most great New York rock."  (Time Out NY)

Lissy has just hit the road with her four-piece band to tour alongside The Virgins and Anya Marina. The group have already hit the road with a kick-off gig in New York before heading westward, and, and will end their tour in Europe in support of their debut EP Self-Taught Learner - out now. (See below for tour dates and locations).
