The Sewing Club is Saved By the Fans

By Lauren Campbell

While on the road for the Arlie’s Angels Tour, The Sewing Club faced the unexpected. While parked in the Dallas, TX area, over $25k+ of their tour gear and personal belongings were stolen from their tour van. In a time of disbelief and a need for relief, the band turned to the fans for help on GoFundMe.

Lead singer, Hannah McElroy, led the initiative to document the damages and catalog the cost of buying new gear. In a @TheSewingClubBand post on Instagram, as seen below,  the band writes candidly about the difficulties of the offense:

The band had been playing shows everywhere from California, and Texas, to the Carolinas and back since February 2. After the GoFundMe post went live, fans, family, and friends reminded us how much music can unite. Within only four days, The Sewing Club fans had raised over $22k+ in support of the indie rock band’s attempt to finish their tour at SXSW on March 13-19. The band posted on their Instagram to thank fans:

The group has gathered a following with some notable attention deriving from the 73k views on their latest music video for their song "Sport Mode" Likewise, the group debuted their latest single, "On My Own". Due to the kindness of their fanbase, The Sewing Club is now on their way to replacing their stolen gear and finishing their 7-week winter 2023 tour with a milestone achievement of playing a major music fest—which is all made possible by the fans.

The Sewing Club's Newest Single, "Cool Girl" Has Arrived

by Maddie Humble

Are you tired of trying to be a cool girl?

The Sewing Club, a five-piece band on the rise made up of Hannah McElroy (lead singer/writer), Stephen Meaux (electric guitar), Will Harris (bass guitar), Justin McKinney (electric guitar) and Zach McCoy (drums) have just released their newest single and it is bedroom rock gold. If you are craving the nostalgic feeling of listening to 90’s rock along with a modern sparkly pop spin, this is the band for you.

The Sewing Club’s latest single, “Cool Girl” transports the listener to a time where maybe they have not felt so “cool.” McElroy uses her gentle yet gritty vocals to describe a time where she felt like she was trying too hard to impress another person but getting nothing in return. The lyrics are so fantastic because this is something most people can relate to. Meaux’s guitar and Harris’ bass skills add another level of grittiness that gives a 90’s ambience and edge while McCoy’s beat on the drums is infectious. It’s the perfect angsty tune to jam out to in your car or in an underground club.

However, if you want to hear this song live, then you’re in some luck! Not only has The Sewing Club taken Nashville by storm, but they are about to take the whole U.S. by storm as a special guest on the Arlie’s Angels U.S. tour with Arlie!

Here are the tour dates to catch The Sewing Club in your neck of the woods:
