Brighton My Weekend – I live in Hope
This weekend’s gonna be so mighty I can almost taste it. Had to poach Patmo Sheeran from ‘The Dirt’ whilst they weren’t lookin, to come & accompany my solo support set for the infamous SHRAG (‘Effortless pop skill’ – Artrocker) down Da Doo Run Run: It’s Alive #3, this Saturday 5th June at The Hope Brighton.
The political IS personal!
GAVIN MARTIN’s gonna fluff us up good, spinnin some choice full-frontal, female-led classics & rarities from his own personal & private record collection of musical genius. He will hypnotise your bootyshake, I guarantee!
PATMO & I are on at bout 21.30 ie dusk with my 30 minute solo set of Country-Motown-esque songs to reclaim the political as personal including a cosmetic surgical lament, wrong side o the trax romance balladry, conspiracy theory protest songs, stream of unconscious trip-hoppery & MO!
Then StormTheCharts shortlisted, darlings of this year’s London Popfest, bean-crazy grrrl & boyeee band – SHRAG – will blast up the boards with their signature post-New Wave drenched dear-diary, dirty confessionals worthy of the justified and ancient waif/naif collective that they are…
Miss it … and miss out, MISSY!
