Eilis Frawley (pronounced Aylish) is a Berlin-based Australian artist whose solo project combines direct, uncompromising spoken word with kraut-inspired rhythms and post-punk minimalism. Her work explores feminism, social structures, mental health, migration, and personal storytelling, balancing vulnerability with sharp observation and dark humour.
Alongside her solo work, Eilis has performed as a drummer with Anika, Hachiku, Laura Lee & the Jettes, Kara Delik and Restless. Deeply embedded in the Berlin music community, she also works with the venue Neue Zukunft and promoters Greyzone Concerts and Brighter Agency.
In March 2025, Eilis released her debut album, ‘Fall Forward’ via Sinnbus Records and her second album, ‘Twist My Words’, will be dropping on 6th November 2026. This new record depicts a world that has fallen apart. It questions our current era, in which truth seems more like a feeling, an opinion, or an option. The album is a reflection on how a statement can be completely twisted and given a different meaning depending on a person’s position of power—or their corruption—and how this can be exploited to benefit some and disadvantage others.
Self produced, with the help of friends, ‘Twist My Words’ presents Eilis’ music as a unique, kaleidoscopic patchwork of krautrock, hip-hop, spoken word, and indie, but with a sharper musical and political focus. Fans of the likes of Kim Gordon, Dry Cleaning, Jenny Hval, and Laurie Anderson should take note! Check out a trio of cuts on ‘Twist My Words’ HERE.
In support of the forthcoming release, Eilis is playing a handful of gigs here in the UK. These being The Finsbury Park Picturehouse in London on Friday 2nd October, followed by an appearance at ‘Loud Women Fest’ at Le Pub in Newport on Saturday 3rd, then Eilis is heading to Puzzle Hall Inn on Sowerby Bridge on Sunday 4th, The Peer Hat in Manchester on Monday 5th, and finally appearing locally here in The Cellar Bar of The Brunswick on Holland Road, Hove on Tuesday 6th October.
Tickets for all dates can be found HERE and tickets from The Brunswick concert can also be purchased HERE.
Support for The Brunswick concert comes from VCSB who are an alternative post punk/electronic trio from Brighton, who focus on channeling experimental production and songwriting techniques through a pop lens. They combine melodramatic and tongue in cheek vocals with angular, distortion drenched guitar and sputtering vintage synthesizers. Composed of songwriters Saul Bazley on vocals and Tris Claude Houseman on guitar alongside the addition of Ronan Goron on drums.
Also on The Brunswick gig bill is Ahno and her funky Stars who are aiming to get you up and boogieing down to the beat! With a blend of Disco, Rock, Jazz and Funk, inspired by Electronic Dance Music, this fem-led Brighton band of queer performers are sure to get your body movin’ and groovin’.
