The Brighton trio of Phoebe Lunny (Vocals/Guitar – she/they), Lilly Macieira (Bass – she/they) and Catt Jack (Drums – N/A) are Lambrini Girls. They have announced their debut EP You’re Welcome set for release on 19 May via Big Scarey Monsters. In addition Lambrini Girls have released their new single ‘White Van’ a message to street harassers, with its seething vocals and blistering soundtrack. The band further explains:
“A satirical take on catcalling, the story of being followed around in a white van. We’re taught, systemically, that it’s our sole responsibility to prevent our harassment. ‘What were you wearing?’ or ‘You shouldn’t have walked home by yourself’, implies your body in a public place is considered public property. If you do not modify your behavior in everyday life to protect yourself, then it’s your fault entirely. Instead of blaming us, maybe we should point the finger at Terry with his dick out behind the wheel and the system that has enabled his behavior for years. Rolling down the windows of your Ford Transit and screaming ‘fucking beautiful’ won’t make anyone rip their clothes off and give you head behind a Kwik Fit. Do better, love Lambrini Girls”
The debut EP You’re Welcome is a collection of songs to empower those who have ever made to feel invalidated and overlooked. Lambrini Girls also confirm a run of tour dates. For tickets please check here.
