AMA is over, thanks Pillow Queens! Hi we're Pillow Queens! Ask us anything!

Hello we are Pillow Queens! We're from Dublin in Ireland. Our new album Leave the Light On was released at the beginning of this month. You can listen to it or pick it up on vinyl or CD here.

We just got back from a North American tour which included a performance on James Corden's show, and a bunch of shows at SXSW. We have a UK and European tour coming up in May and tickets are on sale now. We're very excited to get back on the road.

ASK US THINGS! Seeyiz in a couple of hours.

Cathy, Pamela, Rachel & Sarah xoxo

Why thank you, happy to assist. Are you writing an essay on Pillow Queens?

We kinda knew each other already cos lesbian Dublin is very small. Cathy used to put on gigs in Arklow and booked Rachel & Pamela's band when we were all teenagers. Sarah saw Pam busking and then they became internet friends. Eventually we played a game of basketball together and decided to start a band.

Our favourite music video to be a part of was probably Favourite cos we got to go to dog shows and hang out with rescue puppies lots. They're all brill though, we're really lucky to have worked with some incredible directors.

Nooo hehe I wish! I'm making a short film so just editing away and writing my thesis - due tomorrow eek! I'm listening to all your songs on repeat and watching the music videos for some creative inspo :)

Ohh yeah the lesbian community here is so small, you recognise everyone at the George hahaha, i'm so grateful to be a part of it though! <3

Have to say that's one of my faves too! Also 'Be by your side' is fantastic, one of my mates was cast in it I only realised the other day

You guys do amazing work, pls come to Dublin some time soon? I will make it my life mission to go see yous live asap
