The Smokehouse Presents is thrilled to announce This is The Kit to play at new venue The Baths Saturday 12th March 2022.

Tickets £20+bf on sale here.

This is The Kit return to Ipswich on a tour supporting their latest album ‘Off Off On’. This is the fifth album by the band and is the follow up to 2017 critically acclaimed album ‘Moonshine Freeze’.

Kate Stables decided to work on the new record with producer Josh Kaufman, New York-based musician, Hold Steady collaborator and member of Bonny Light Horseman and Muzz.

Kate explains the meaning behind the song ‘This Is What You Did’ “It’s a bit of a panic attack song. The negative voices of other people that are your own voice. Or are they? Hard to say when you’re in this kind of a place. How to get out of this place? Needing to get outside more. Cosmically topical what with these recent days of inside all the time. Knowing the things, you should do because they’re good for you and make you feel better but for some reason you still stay inside and fester in your own self-doubt and regret and self-loathing. Fun times! We all get into negative mind loops sometimes. Especially when you’re not getting the fresh air and outside time you need to stay healthy.”

Support comes from Mathieu Boogaerts.

The acclaimed French singer-songwriter Mathieu Boogaerts has been living around London for five years now and he can't wait any longer to perform here!

25 years, 1000 concerts and 8 albums after "Super", his first release, he will offer us a medley of his colourful, personal, "French chanson" repertoire. And, just for you, will sing some of his brand new songs... in English.
