Kate's landmark night

7th Dec 07

# Shepherds Bush held their glasses high to Kate Nash on November 14, as the piano pop starlet played to a sold-out crowd at the prestigious Shepherds Bush Empire. But what made the Harrow singer's night just that little bit bett-ah (yep, joke's going stale) was that her fantastic debut album, Made Of Bricks, reached platinum sales on the very same day. The album was recorded in Miloco's Pool and Engine Room studios by producer Paul Epworth and Interface engineer Mark Rankin, and has spawned hits such as Foundations, Mouthwash and Pumpkin Soup, which of course were - as always - on blistering live form down at the Empire. One fan was so excited that she threw her bra at a 'flattered' Miss Nash - so you clearly don't have to be an ageing Las Vegas entertainer from Wales for that to happen...

Kate Nash's third single, Pumpkin Soup, is due for release on 17th December.
