Jumpin around on Laura's bed singing along to Leslie Gore, drinking cider at NOFX shows, The Fall sober cos we spent all our cash on the ticket. The Ramones, Poison Idea and a load of 2-tone at a saturday night squat party, The Go! Team make us happy, so does the Sonics. Sesame Street on a rainy afternoon. Smokin and listening to Ini Kamoze and Butthole Surfers. Dressing up as Vikings and dancin to 60's girl groups. Distortion. Fake cow-skin cowboy hats, Bad Religion and eviction notices, 70's punk, 80's anarcho riots, too many years spent squatting. Hagar The Womb's Dressed To Kill, The Subhuman's Evolution, Velvet Underground's White Light White Heat, Social Distortion's White Light White Heat White Trash... new stuff, old stuff, Discharge, Blondie, vodka lime & soda at The Dirty Water Club on a friday night, Herb Alpert & Public Enemy, Danielle's special peanut butter cookies, the bus ride back to north london, the train back to london on a hangover, lookin for an offy at 4am, finding the next party...
Sounds Like
this is what people have said that we sound like: early Black Flag, the Slits, a hen night on speed, permanent PMT, the funnest band you will ever hear, true punk-rock.
1998 - Formed band, got drunk, talked about what we'd wear at shows. 1999 - Played first gig, didn't tune up, everyone bought us drinks. 2000 - New drummer, played 4 shows, still didn't tune up, people still bought us drinks. 2001 - Did recording at Dave Goodman's studio, played 6 gigs, still didn't tune up, got bought more drinks. 2002 - New drummer, played 7 shows, bought guitar tuner. 2003 - New singer, did more recording, talked about what we'd wear at shows, tuned up, played 17 shows. 2004 - Went on tour to USA, lost singer, played punx picnics & Wasted Festival, lost other singer, became 3, got costumes, played shows as 3, 4, 5 or with go-go dancers in bloody nightdresses... 2005 - Did lots of gigs as 3 piece, then Laura got stuck in USA... 2006 - Laura was in New York playing with Gridlocked, Lorna and Screw made bass and drums noise with Tom in east london. 2007 Laura came back! We dressed as bears for South London Punx Picnic, Tofu, Love and Frog for the Tofu's come back gig, Librarians for Fuk Reading, Zombies for Halloween and Red Robin Hood in Nottingham. Our favourite of the year was the Behind Bars punk/gay party in the squatted funeral parlour with The Restarts, we drank too much vodka and were covered in blood... 2008 Went on tour to South London dressed as Amy Winehouse (Screw looked best), went on tour to Spain and France dressed as monkies, made chaos, wrote songs about being drunk and how to avoid hamsters. Went to Berlin with 3 pots of glitter but no guitars (thanks Thought Assault!) Screw ended up on crutches and we made new hat fashion in Halle. Our most stupidest costume to date was at Fuk Reading, when we dressed as shit....we went back to France and Germany for Stockinghead mayhem and our last gig of the year was the Waterloo Squat. 2009 We started the year with a London Weekend Tour, braving the january cold of south London with summer outfits and sunshine tunes, we've had a fun year so far, we waded knee-deep in mud at Blue Rock festi in Wales with Tootinskamoon & Dapper Cadavers, we huffed balloons in squats and fought the floor many times over....
GERMANY TOUR....
NOVEMBER 2009 - Some of our original dates listed for our German tour had to be cancelled (sorry Bianca, and also the people of Freiburg). This is due to a situation that's totally out of our control and there was nothing we could do about it. We're really sorry! The dates listed in our gig list are all correct, and we promise that we won't be cancelling any more!
