   About Cooties Attack!

"like an airfix kit put together by a six year old"

Cooties Attack are a bedroom disco punk band formed when Holly and Huw had nothing better to do other than write songs about superheroes, crushes, Harry Potter, and zombies.

Holly helped Huw with his library school homework. Or rather she made the cups of tea and pretended to understand cataloguing. Huw impressed her with his knowledge of more than one guitar chord. She gave up her supercasio way of life and they wrote a song and ate jaffa cakes and everything was ok in the world.

Melisa sang and played melodica with us for a while but she left to become a full time B Girl.

Holly and Huw are also the magical wizard rock band Shrieking Shack Disco Gang.

We sing songs about superheroes, crushes, fragile egos, indiepop girls, Harry Potter, discos, queer scenes, and other such nonsense in a disco punk style. We do have a bunch of new songs, which we're gonna record once we can afford it this summer. and we've remembered how they go.

"iar “I’m Amazing” mi se pare una dintre cele mai bune ,,i mai distractive piese de pe luna asta" - Yeah!

Hug Party





Apr 15 2009 7:04 PM

Hank Bobbit & Hug Party at Club Wotever

24 April
Jesters Bar, The Cross Kings

HUG PARTY

Hug Party are a queer hip-hop hugging and rapping duo started in 2006. We sing about chubby girls and re-appropriated graffiti not bitches and bling. We don’t pretend to fit into hip hop culture and this means that we sing in our own accents and try to challenge the homophobia and sexism which sometimes accepted in mainstream hip hop. If rap karaoke were a real genre Hug Party would be at the top.



HANK BOBBIT

Hank Bobbit is a six 6' 2" tall, dark haired Butch with a dazzling duck tail. She is also the singer, guitarist and songwriter of Berlin-based garage rockabilly band "Lorena & The Bobbits". The band started up in 2001, after a friend had told Hank that she looked like a “lean, tall cowboy”. This and a strict, lifelong musical diet of Jerry Lee Lewis, Reverend Horton Heat and L7 had put the seed in her brain to start a Dyke Country Punk Band. After the first rehearsal it turned out that neither of the members was capable of playing country, so they simply decided on playing a mix of Rockabilly and 60ties Garage Punk with some true Cowboy lyrics thrown into the howling pit of noisy guitars and a manic drum kit.
