Following the release of her debut album “Fall Forward” on Sinnbus, australian drummer and poet Eilis Frawley comes to Berlin for a special live concert at Schokoladen this March.
The solo project of Eilis Frawley combines direct and unforgiving spoken word amidst kraut-like rhythms. With a focus on social structures, feminism, mental health, and storytelling she speaks truth to creative insecurities, personal tragedies, and the impacts of living abroad. Debuting in 2019 with tours in Germany, the UK, and Australia, her first two EPs “Never Too Emotional” and “Adult Life” were released through Reckless Yes Records (UK) in 2020. Eilis Frawley is a classically trained musician from Adelaide, Australia. Eilis is the drummer and singer for local Berlin bands Kara Delik and Restless and has worked as a freelance drummer with Laura Lee and The Jettes and Anika. Eilis’s debut full-length album “Fall Forward,” produced by Kat Frankie, will be released on March 7th 2025 on sinnbus.
In a world where political expression in pop is often either loud and angry or non-existent, there is a need for nuance; preferably in the form of strong FLINTA voices that point out current grievances with a cool head and thus initiate change. Eilis Frawley achieves this feat with razor-sharp precision, while at the same time taking a playful and experimental, subtle look at her surroundings and inviting listeners into her very personal, wonderfully intentional-sounding emotional world. Eilis Frawley is a classically trained musician. Next to her own music she has played drums for the likes of Anika, Laura Lee & the Jettes, and currently with her own bands Kara Delik (Turkish post punk) or Restless (noisy punk). Eilis is the creator of Bang On, a Berlin-based festival devoted to diversity and to the local music scene.
