Billy Nomates has shared a new video for “spite” directed by nwspk. “Don’t you act like I ain’t the fucking man”, serves as both a reproach to anyone underestimating her, and as a personal pep talk. As she explains, “How are you going to deal with anything if you don’t have that self-belief?” The track is her forthcoming album, CACTI, set for release on January 13th, 2023 via Invada Records.  The track follows the release of “saboteur forcefield”. Over the past couple of years, Nomates has gained numerous fans, including Iggy Pop, Florence Welch, and Steve Albini.

Billy Nomates plays a sold out London show at Village Underground tonight followed by a run of dates around the UK, with sold out shows in Norwich, Bristol and Falmouth. Another UK and European tour has been announced for April 2023, which includes a new show in her hometown of Bristol at Marble Factory on April 29th and her biggest headline show to date at London’s Kentish Town Forum on April 27th, 2023.

Maries said: “Writing CACTI took just over a year. I wrote very intensely and then none at all. (This seems to be the way I work best). I picked up old drum machines, mapped out things in my kitchen with the same small micro keyboard I always use and then raided the cupboards and rooms at Invada Studios, to play and experiment with old synths, an upright piano, this weird organ thing. I hope everyone finds their own narrative in CACTI. I think it’s about surviving it all.”
