Kate Nash to give fans live album preview

Kate Nash has been in Los Angeles writing and recording her as-yet-untitled third album due on Fiction Records later this year.

To give fans a sneak preview of the new songs Kate has announced the Faster Pussycat Run Run Tour, a series of intimate shows in June.

2012 is shaping up to be a big year for the Brit Award winning artist. As well as releasing the new album, Nash has acting roles in two feature films out later this year – watch this space for further details.

Last year, shocked by the lack of British female songwriters (only 14% of songwriters in the UK that receive PRS are women), she launched Kate Nash's Rock n Roll for Girls After-School Music Club as a platform to inspire teenage girls to start songwriting and making their own music. Nash is also one of the founders, along with Billy Bragg and Blur's Dave Rowntree, of the Featured Artists Coalition, to ensure that artists took responsibility for having a voice at a time of dramatic change in the music business.
