Soap&Skin LIVE / Ultre LIVE

In what is destined to become one of the most talked about events of the musical calendar, Austria's lauded singer/songwriter Soap&Skin is here supported by Leeds based electronica specialist Ultre. Soap&Skin's darkly melancholic vocal compositions and subtly enhanced electronica will be set in the reverent surroundings of Cross St Chapel and will make use of the chapel's grand piano. Her atmospheric ballads have already attracted the attention of over half a million fans on MySpace and session bookings for Radio 2, Radio 3 and Radio 4.† This event is produced in collaboration with Humble Soul.

Soap&Skin

Emerging from a small village in the rural forests of Southern Styria, the elegiac music of 18-year-old Anja Plaschg has spread via MySpace to an immediately receptive audience in Austria and Europe. She soon attained an early release on trendsetting Berlin imprint Shitkatapult and was promptly spun into the orbit of European radio through celebrated performances and gushing press reviews that likened her to Joanna Newsom. Soap&Skin's delicate balance of haunting, fairytale like vocals and darkly alluring melodies are utterly seductive and scarily transcendent.
