punk/post-punk live review


The rage remains real. It’s shameful that a band like Lambrini Girls could have featured in the cultural zeitgeist any time from 1965 to now.

Words: Jim F / Pictures: Huw WilliamsIt’s been a while.

“Back from the dead!” announces Jemina Pearl as she begins the second consecutive night leading Be Your Own Pet in Hackney. Judging by the ragged band of fans before her the previous night was a suitably raucous resurrection of the Nashville punks who first started their love affair with London some 17 years ago.
