The Thirst - My Everything
Fresh from appearances on BBC2's Sound, and sessions for XFM and Diesel U Music, The Thirst release Zane Lowe approved new single, My Everything through Wooden Records. Debut album On The Brink is out summer '08.
Produced by Jake Fior (Babyshambles, The Libertines), 'My Everything' opens with Mensah's vocals drifting across balmy guitar strums. "The lyrics came to me after I saw a documentary about a gay HIV+ couple and a recently diagnosed 18 year old girl," he says. "It really had an impact. The love those two guys had for each other, that young girl's suffering, their sheer strength against all odds. It was amazing."
It was one night down at The Half Moon in Putney when Ronnie Wood discovered them. "He put it on the table there and then," laughs Mensah. "He just said, 'Yeah, I loved it.' He was cool, man… he's a legend."
A year later and their self-titled debut EP had sold out in two weeks. The summer of '07 saw them on stage at the Isle of Wight Festival, Hyde Park Calling, Electric Gardens and Glastonbury, plus there were support shows for the Sex Pistols and Rolling Stones. "Let's just say there have been moments when we've really been bricking it," says Kwame. "With The Stones we played in front of 40,000 people in Croatia. It was utterly mind-blowing."
