About

Kate Nash was born in 1987 in Dublin and grew up in northwest London. An aspiring actress in her youth, Kate studied drama at the London BRIT School for Performing Arts and Technology. A twist of fate in the form of a broken foot left her bedridden and while incapacitated she revisited some unfinished songs she'd written when she was younger. Convinced of their quality, she gigged for a while and published some of her material on MySpace, including the track that shot her to fame, “Caroline's A Victim.”

With the encouragement of fellow singer Lily Allen, Kate released “Caroline's A Victim” in 2007 on the indie Moshi Moshi Records label. Her second single “Foundations” was released through Fiction Records a few months later and was also an immediate hit. Such was the demand that her debut album Made of Bricks was released earlier than planned in August 2007, reaching No. 1 in the UK Album Chart and No. 36 on the US Billboard 200. Appearances at Glastonbury, Isle of Wight and Wireless Festival festivals followed, as well as on many TV shows, including Later with Jools Holland. She won a BRIT award for Best Female Artist, an NME award for Best Solo Artist and a Q award for Breakthrough act in 2008.

In 2009, she founded and became a director of the Featured Artists' Coalition, which lobbies for greater autonomy in the music industry for artists. She also created Kate Nash's Rock 'n' Roll for Girls After-School Music Club, which aims to inspire young women to become interested in writing and performing music. She is politically active and uses her fame and influence to raise money for worthy causes.

In 2010, she released her second album My Best Friend Is You which was produced by Suede's former guitarist, Bernard Butler. Her third album, Girl Talk, was released in 2013. She has collaborated with many famous musicians, including Kano, Lethal Bizzle, Sam Duckworth, Billy Bragg and Willow Smith, and she also produced Watsky's Hey Asshole in 2013. Musically she has been influenced by such diverse artists and bands as The Supremes, John Cooper Clarke, Regina Spektor, The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Elvis and Janis Joplin.

    Kate Nash Will Treat You like a Fri-End

    by pestokelsey on 11/26/13The Fonda Theatre - Hollywood

    Overall? Kate Nash is an amazing performer and includes her crowd in everything from crowd surfing to stage invasions to even invading the crowd herself and dancing with various people as far as her mic cord could reach! She included songs from every album, which was enjoyable. And the only bad parts of the night were scuffles between fans in the front where I was, but security took care of it after three complaints and the disruptive fans were escorted out. Otherwise the entire event went off without a hitch. Her openers were amazing as well and set a perfect vibe for the night. She even came out and sang with Skating Polly, the first band. The best part of the entire night was when she stopped and gave a 5 minute speech about female empowerment in the music industry and just life in general. It wasn't like she was getting on her soap box and abusing the time she had with the crowd. It showed that she really, truly cares about the cause she stands for, sings about, and works on constantly. I will definitely be following her for more news on her next American tour.

    AHH! (:

    Kate Nash was so amazingly wonderful. I would definitely go back and see her perform a million more times. I can't wait for her to come back! The venue was so spacious and, although my friend and I had gotten there fashionably late, we were still able to get a really good view of the bands.

    Kate Nash should start a religion!

    by AneelaK on 11/13/13Terminal 5 - New York

    Best show. She really loves her fans. I even met her after the show, got an autograph and photo with her. She is unbelieveable live. I can't wait until she comes back.

    I LOVE KATE NASH

    by Anonymous on 11/12/13Terminal 5 - New York

    This was the best show I've ever been to (and I've seen my fair share); Starlight Girls, La Sera, and Kate were all full of incredible energy and talent. The venue was super nice as well, I really appreciated the bathroom attendant.

    Nash was a Smash

    by ladygingerburger on 11/12/13Terminal 5 - New York

    it's been a long time since opening acts to a show have made me ALMOST happier than the main event itself. both opening acts the Starlight Girls and la Sera were amazing and great live, high energy. but no one could rival Ms. Nash and her witty singing/playing style. Best was that there were 2 encores, crowd surfing, mini feminist rant, and a little fan party on the stage. i only wish there was more room to dance til my heart's content!

    Kate Nash rocked my heart, soul, and tearducts!

    by FannieBananie on 11/11/13House of Blues Boston - Boston

    With an opener that brought tears to my eyes, Kate Nash brought the 60s and rock to life in a singing, screaming, cursing triumph!

    Poor support for Nash

    by CronFizzle on 11/11/13House of Blues Boston - Boston

    Took two hours for Nash to play. Buono sera was good but potty mouth was awful. As for Nash, Guitars and drums drowned out her voice. She seemed to enjoy screeching more than properly singing. The venue was way too loud. I should have brought ear plugs. They kept flashings lights on the crowd which made my girlfriend and I nautious. She has a few great songs which I enjoyed hearing and she has incredible stage presence but the concert production around her was basically a mess.

    Kate Nash Disappointed

    by PaigeMD on 11/8/13Deluxe at Old National Centre - Indianapolis

    Not a fan of the new sound and the old songs I love sounded terrible. She turned the old stuff angry girl rock and that isn't what I paid to see. My friends and I were very disappointed and left early.

    Kate Nash is absolutely amazing. I love her even more than I did before after attending this concert. What was great about it was that not only did she put on a wonderful show, but she also made sure to engage the audience. She talked to us about the stories behind some of her songs and also about the work she's been doing to fix the gender gap in music, which is really cool. For her last song, she invited girls to dance on stage with her and crowd surf. It was such a great experience and I would repeat it over and over again if I could.

    Kate Nash! Amazing just as expected.

    by Fids81 on 11/5/13Deluxe at Old National Centre - Indianapolis

    We went to this concert expecting a unique show because we don't often get to see women as a headliner and Kate Nash has taken our expectations of live acts to a new level. She took the time to chat with the audience, make them feel part of the show with crowd surfing, played a little from all of her albums and her band is AMAZING all of the women were excellent musicians I wish they would have played some cover-songs because they really have such talent we didn't want the show to end it was so fun and energetic and positive.

    Kate Nash and her band put on a great show with great music and some pretty cool banter with the crowd as well as a cool, crowd surfing moment for some of the ladies in attendance near the end of the show. I found the moment that Kate led two grade school aged girls on stage so that they could get their opportunity at surfing to be be very touching.

    Garage band

    by pearlgirly on 4/8/13The Basement - Columbus

    I was so excited to see Kate Nash, I rearranged a work trip and drove from Michigan to catch her show. I was hoping to hear a lot of her music from Foundations. I had downloaded her most recent, Girl Talk, but really really loved Foundations. The sound was absolutely terrible. For not really knowing any of her newer music, I could not understand any of it (and she was serious about only singing it). I hung around long enough to hear the song "Foundations" but was disappointed. I could have taken a friend who had never heard of her and they would not have appreciated her music at all because you could not understand any of her lyrics. I have been to shows at A & R bar before and never have I noticed the sound to be so terrible. I saw Eric Hutchinson there last summer and he sounded great. I love Kate Nash, still listen to her at home and in my car and in the future she will stay just there. Terrible live show...

    Kate Nash puts on an AMAZING show!!

    by KReyes on 4/2/13Music Hall of Williamsburg - Brooklyn

    There was no bad seat in the entire venue. Kate was out watching the opening band and even joined up for their last song. Her performance was super energized. She sang new and old songs and kept the flow of the concert going. Great show, would absolutely recommend seeing her live. She sounds just like her albums if not better live.

    Kate Nash is awesome!

    She had an incredible energy and was so much fun to see live. She is so much more punk than I realized! Awesome performance.

    Kate Nash put on a good show

    by katenashfan on 3/31/13Music Hall of Williamsburg - Brooklyn

    She had great energy, and it was clear she was enjoying herself and having fun -- which, in turn, helped the audience to have fun. But my friends and I -- and I think this goes for a large majority of her audience -- were there to hear her classics, her older stuff, which she barely played any of. (The ones she did play had a punk-rock beat added in -- they weren't true to form). Plus, the wait time was a bit excessive; she didn't come on stage until 2 hours after the ticket time.
