About this gig
Meet Jagaara, three sisters from Finchley in London – not to be confused withthe Staves, three sisters from Watford. The Staves were more folkie anyway, whereas Jagaara (not to be confused with Jagwar Ma) are more Fleetwood Mac than Joni Mitchell. They share managers with Foals and Peace, and although they are as yet unsigned, there is a lot of A&R interest, and you can see why: they play classic west coast pop in an even more unreconstructed way than Haim, minus the overt nods to R&B, although there’s a knowingness to their nostalgia that elevates them above tribute-band status. They’re the girls of summer and beyond.
