SNAKEMILK Launch New EP 'Into The Snake Pit' Voodoo Daddy's Showroom,  London Street, Norwich Friday, 11 th  July 2025 Photograph copyright Gordon Woolcock “I am looking for something a bit different.” says a man you don’t meet every day, Robin Evans, esquire.  This is certainly the case when you get to see and hear the duo  Lassie  embark on the opening act, who he has invited to open the launch party for SNAKEMILK 's first EP, Into the Snake Pit .  The wild, flame-haired Emily Winng and sleek Camille Davila present psyche-folk in its simplest form, with tub-thumping drum and scratchy electric guitar.
