CHITRA ANNOUNCES FIRST SHOW FOR 2023 MONDAY 22 MAY FOR SOCIAL SANCTUARY AT NORTHCOTE SOCIAL CLUB

Today Naarm/Melbourne-based singer-songwriter, Chitra announces her first show of 2023 playing Northcote Social Club as part of their free Social Sanctuary series on Monday 22nd of May. She'll be joined on the night by Hot Glue and Local Derby, more info can be found here.

The night will see Chitra taking to the stage anew, fresh from two years spent writing and reflecting, in the process stepping away with an enigmatic new sound. It will also mark the debut performance with her new band and the first glimpse into her world of new music coming out later this year.

Chitra creates transportive music that footnotes her contemporaries - Julia Jacklin, Angel Olsen, and Adrianne Lenker - and fuses their influences onto a bed of sparkling rock. Late 2021 saw the release of single ‘Give Up’ which followed Chitra’s self-titled debut EP, released right at the dawn of the pandemic in February 2020. A three-year in-the-making endeavour, Chitra’s music is the vessel for an old soul growing up and navigating the world with a firm lens of the present.

Growing up in the Bellarine Peninsula, her adolescence as a coastal kid - jubilant and carefree - shines across her vocals and production work. Though the instrumentation and melodies appear as breezy, catchy jaunts, Chitra’s magnetism lies in catching listeners off guard with her astute observations of relationships, the world, and her place amongst it all. Stay tuned for more Chitra coming soon.
