NEWS FROM THE TEAM

Hello and welcome to our 22nd issue. Since we last spoke, the label announced our first ever signing! We’re excited to be working with local angular danceable no-wave foursome Pop Vulture on a series of singles and a limited-edition cassette tape spanning their work so far. ‘C.M.E.’, their first single with us, was released last month and is available to stream now. You can pre-save their next track, ‘Lionel’s Big Problem’ and pre-order the (glittery green!) tape now before its release on 14/10/22. To be the first to grab your tape from us in person, join us at their (free!) instore at The Vinyl Whistle on the same day. Also joining the Come Play With Me tape revolution is Leeds’ favourite dreamy indie-pop girl Mollie Coddled with her EP ‘I wanna go home’, which we’re releasing on limited edition signed pink tape at the end of the month! Available to pre-order from our Bandcamp now. Our events team have been busy with Come Platform Me events, working with Bloom Sessions on ‘Freaky Friday’, a 2000s club night, and Collective Sessions on ‘Femme Fatale’, a night of jazz, soul and R&B. The last event of this round of CPM is coming up later this month, and it’s a big one – our collaboration with DRIP, a queer-ran, queercentric party with Shanti Celeste headlining is not one to be missed. Saturday 22nd October – save the date. We announced the next I Know A Place for 27/01/2023, our annual music conference and afterparty which aims to champion and celebrate women and people of marginalised genders in the music industry. Come Play With Me also went global this month, with Eva and Matilde heading off to Hamburg for Reeperbahn Festival and Tony repping us in Lisbon at MIL. Lily and Sadie stayed slightly closer to home, popping over to Pontefract to check out Production Park. This issue features interviews with the wonderful Ezra Furman and Baby Queen, 5 questions with Delilah Bon, our very own Pop Vulture’s kit recommendations and loads more. Enjoy!
