On Stage
Obelisk Arena
Throughout Scouting For Girls’ immensely successful career they’ve sold over two million albums,
two million singles, had four Brit Award nominations, an Ivor Novello nomination, had four top
ten singles, sold-out Wembley Arena, The Royal Albert Hall and most recently sold-out two nights
at The London Palladium and had a series of hit singles all of which were inescapable radio
smashes. Scouting For Girls continue to prove they are unstoppable.
The past 2 years have been an unprecedented year in so many ways. And like many of us,
indie-pop band Scouting For Girls initially responded by surrounding themselves with sources
of comfort and escapism, things from what felt like a simpler time. Going back to the music
and culture of their childhoods in the 1980s, the band regrouped in 2020 during what should
have been a summer of festivals, and the result is a joyous album of 80s covers alongside
some incredible new tracks, and an optimism that 2021 could be everything that 2020 was
not! This rained true for the group as they have just completed their 42 date UK and Ireland
tour amidst the pandemic in 2021.
During the lockdown’s, Roy had time to extend the bands repertoire, reimagining of some of
the biggest songs from the 80s. ‘Easy Cover’, their latest album release, is a joyous celebration
of that golden era of music with Scouting For Girls revisiting their favorite childhood musical
moments, from Tears For Fears, The Waterboys, Cyndi Lauper, Whitney Houston, Phil Collins
and much more.
