Graham Coxon and Rose Elinor Dougall have joined forces to form new band The WAEVE, and have announced their first single and a London show.

The WAEVE was created after Coxon and Dougall exchanged messages towards the end of 2020, and is, according to NME, inspired by "a shared love of English folk music, storytelling and the associated landscapes of this beleaguered island."

Today (20 April) the duo shared a 39-second teaser clip, announced their debut single "Something Pretty" and their first show, which will take place at The Lexington in London on 4 May.

"Something Pretty" is set to arrive the day after their live debut, on 5 May.

The band said in a statement, "We are greatly looking forward to unleashing our new sound live at the Lexington next month. We’ve been locked away this year, busy translating the varied sounds of our songs into a dynamic live show, with the help of some great musician friends. We invite you to surrender to the world of The WAEVE."

The WAEVE's "Something Pretty" single will arrive on 5 May, the day after their first show at The Lexington. Tickets go on sale this Friday (22 April) at 10am BST from seetickets.com.
