DEAR NORA + TAI HAF HEB DRIGOLYN
Genre : Music - General
DEAR NORA is an ever-evolving indie-pop band fronted by songwriter/producer Katy Davidson, and features a rotating cast of collaborators. Davidson was born in Arizona and has also lived in Oregon and California. The energy, intensity, and vastness of the western United States landscape imbue the songwriting and recordings.
Dear Nora has existed in two distinct eras – 1999-2008 and 2017-present – with roughly a decade break in the middle (the “Lost Years”) in which Davidson fronted various side projects, and played session guitar/keyboards in the bands YACHT and Gossip. Dear Nora’s early music leans more pop-punk, DIY, confessional, youthful. The contemporary music leans more poetic, expansive, genre-bending, wise. The through-lines between Dear Nora’s two eras are: melodic hooks, vocal harmonies, and lyrics about time, space, capitalism, the internet, daily life vérité, ancient things, real vs. unreal or surreal, and all kinds of relationships.
Partially because Dear Nora’s early years happened before the rise of smartphones and social media (prior to hyper digital documentation), and because very little content survives this era aside from the analog recordings, the group is often described as “legendary" (as in, "legend/myth"). Rediscovered via streaming platforms and word of mouth, Dear Nora’s music has influenced many young songwriters.

TAI HAF HEB DRIGOLYN are a band from Wales. Built atop of a DIY Ethos, THHD have a fantastic ability to merge their musical brain with real life surroundings, perfectly represented by “Ein Albwm Cyntaf Ni” recorded straight onto tape directly sampling the sounds that they recorded over. It’s rare that music so genuine and human arrives with this quality and quantity; this is a special act that has to be seen to be believed. THHD are obsessed with the elephant 6 collective, and as such has members spread across the country, they also stumble after the footsteps of R. Pollard and D. R. Edwards.

The Lexington is a classic London boozer turned lounge bar, with a hint of Kentucky charm and lashings of rock & roll excess. Enjoy award winning food served up with our favourite American craft beers or just lounge around in our baroque mezzanine exploring the best bourbon selection in London. If you like it a little bit louder, head upstairs for the latest and greatest bands in our live venue. Then dance the night away with our family of music loving DJs, playing everything from 20s jazz to the newest indie through the sea of counter-cultural sounds into the wee small hours.
The Lexington is an early Victorian building and as such is not easily accessible for anyone with limited mobility. While the main bar is on the ground floor and accessible without steps the music venue is up a flight of stairs. We’re happy to help with access where possible.
