GIRLI
The Dome, Tufnell Park
MIXING punk, grunge, rock and rap and throwing in a mix of loops and beats, GIRLI’s latest tour hits town with not just music, but a message that mixes vulnerability with vision and vim.
Titled the Damsel in Distress tour, it’s a comeback of sorts for Milly Toomey — AKA GIRLI.
It’s a response to being dropped by her record label, to the impact of Covid and to the need to get out and talk — or in this case even shout — about mental health, the music industry and being yourself.
