Uh Huh Her @ Irving Plaza

After performing sold out shows this spring and summer across the U.S. in support of their six song EP Black and Blue, electro-pop duo UH HUH HER--LEISHA HAILEY (keyboards, bass) and CAMILA GREY (keyboards, guitar)—are gearing up for the release of their forthcoming full length NOCTURNES October 11. Their headlining Irving Plaza appearance is part of the first-ever Keep A Breast music tour which supports breast cancer prevention and awareness. For the album the follow-up to their debut Common Reaction, the duo teamed with Wendy Melvoin (Prince & the Revolution) for production duties and recorded at Wendy’s personal studio within the famed Henson compound in Los Angeles. Mixed by Tchad Blake and mastered by Adam Ayan at Gateway, NOCTURNES features the song “Same High”� which was written for and featured in the acclaimed Golden Globe-winning and Academy Award-nominated film The Kids Are All Right. NOCTURNES follows the group’s Common Reaction which broke through with the anthemic single “Not A Love Song.”� The album went on to receive an overwhelming amount of critical praise, with the NEW YORK TIMES hailing the disc "...a lush, layered collection of dizzying, synth-driven pop" (Amanda Petrusich, 10/24/08) and the VILLAGE VOICE adding “Uh Huh Her’s debut album is a stylized mix of guitars and synthesizers framed by melancholic yet glamour-tinged vocals”� (Zoe Gemelli, October 29-November 4).
