bar italia return with essential summer banger ‘Cowbella’ and a slew of European and North American tour dates. The shows in October and November, including stops in London, Milan, Barcelona, Paris, Los Angeles, New York and Toronto, will follow a sold-out, small capacity London date previewing new music at 93 Feet East on Thursday, June 19th.
‘Cowbella’, the first new music from the band since 2024’s The Tw*ts EP, sees a transcendent vocal blunt rotation between members Nina Cristante, Jezmi Tarik Fehmi and Sam Fenton unfolding over a wiry, shapeshifting rocker that culminates in an explosive and chilling skywards coda. It’s a multi-pronged anthem that only bar italia could conjure.
The last two years have seen the London trio release two critically acclaimed albums on Matador only several months apart – the poised Tracey Denim and the grand The Twits. They’ve traversed the globe with headline performances from Istanbul to Tokyo, sold-out multi-night stints in New York and Los Angeles, and festivals including Corona Capital, Glastonbury and Coachella. With over 160 shows worldwide across 2023-2024, bar italia became an exhibitionist and muscular five-piece – equally comfortable at festival mosh-pit incitement and moments of pin-drop intimacy.
