Ruby Tuesday | KATE CLOVER

In the organizer's words:

Kate Clover - a rising star of the power pop-punk underground scene is about to take off.

Kate Clover's sound and demeanor blend the influences of Blondie, The Gun Club, The Runaways, The Germs, The Undertones, and The Go-Go's into a modern garage rock/punk pop sound.

The music of the songwriter and musician from Los Angeles reflects self-discovery, self-preservation and the will to survive in a city where dreams often fail. With her rebellious energy and uncompromising style, she represents a new generation of underground artists.

Influenced by Patti Smith and Iggy Pop, she wrote her first song after studying art, where she also learned "Chinese Rocks" by Johnny Thunders. After initial experiences in various bands, she decided to pursue a solo career in 2019 and traveled to Mexico City to write - four days turned into four months, during which she recorded her first album.

Back in L.A., she formed a band, quickly made a name for herself with energetic performances and toured with acts such as Death Valley Girls and Crocodiles. Her first EP "Channel Zero" (mixed by Grammy award-winner Carlos de la Garza) and her debut album "Bleed Your Heart Out" were released in 2022, followed by sold-out European dates and a support tour with Social Distortion.

In 2023, she performed with The Hives, Fucked Up and Superchunk, among others, and cemented her reputation as an explosive live performer. 2024 sees the release of her second album "The Apocalypse Dream", produced by Jonah Falco and again mixed by Carlos de la Garza.
