About

**Pull up to the hottest bar in town. On the menu: the pulsating indie rock vibes of the sizzling London trio, bar italia.** Nina Cristante, Jezmi Tarik Fehmi and Sam Fenton are bar italia. After cultivating an underground following, in 2023 the band released two critically acclaimed albums on Matador only months apart – the poised Tracey Denim and the grand The Twits. The collection of rock songs on their latest album, Some Like It Hot, transcends their underground roots to voraciously embrace main stage energy. The record pulses with romance, intrigue, self-discovery and rapture over lustful rockers, spellbinding folk pop, punch-drunk ballads and undefinable moments that sneak up on you like a burst of 5pm sunshine. bar italia marries serious and heartfelt subject matter with a pure joy in showmanship. The trio’s vocals range from the airy and brooding to the hell-bent and possessed. Meanwhile, their songs twist their quirks into huge choruses, find elevation in tension and play with self-identity, emotion and performance until the lines blur. bar italia have 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. *The ticket price includes a £2 venue restoration levy.*
