Le Tigre - Nottingham Bodega, 2002.  Full Review, Click Here. LE TIGRE LIVE Nottingham Social Bar – 29/05/2002 When the news broke that Bikini Kill’s Kathleen Hanna was in a new pop band, Le Tigre, people got worried.  Can how can you make pop music, happy sounding music, with political and vitriolic lyrics? It can’t be easy, but Le Tigre pull it off well. Taking to the stage at Nottingham Social, the screaming anger of Bikini Kill and Julie Ruin but a distant memory, we’re treated to a mixture of lo-fi electronic pop dance music, feminist ideology, short films, and synchronized dance action to songs like What’s your take on Cassavettes and LT tour theme, synchronized dance action that makes want in on the dance action. Even the harder tracks such as  Yr Critique, and My Art, ooze a creeping funkiness. These are songs that make you dance, but they make you think too.  When I say Le Tigre are pop, I don’t mean it in ...

Chicks On Speed - 99 Cents, Album Review 13th Oct 2003.

Chicks On Speed - 99 Cents, Album Review 2003. Full Review, Click Here. A few years back,  Chicks on Speed  found themselves on the German version of Top of the Pops thanks to their cover of  Malaria's  Kaltes Klarres Wasser. It's a feat that the band didn't manage to pull off over here in Britain, although they did release their debut album  Chicks on Speed Will Save Us All , a covers album that took in electronic noodling, ambient soundscapes and occasionally disco music. It showed potential, as did the soon-following Rarities album, but it just didn't flow well. It wasn't dull, but it did feel more like a compilation album than a debut proper. Three years later and the Chicks are back; they've cut down on the cover versions, written some songs of their own and made one big loud glam rock electro-pop explosion of an album.

Peaches Season - Drownedinsound, July 2003.

Full article here. Get your dayglo disco clobber and hair moose together and get ready to learn, honey... PEACHES IS BACK!! September sees the long-awaited return of  Peaches , as she releases a limited edition single  'Operate' / 'Shake Yer Dix'  on the first of the month, followed on September 15th, by her new album, the fantastically titled  'Fatherfucker' . It’s been three years since the release of her debut; a gap which has seen Peaches rise from the underground into the mainstream, whilst becoming a sex goddess en route! But there’s more than Peaches music coming your way in September. If you fancy seeing the sex goddess in the flesh, then get yourself down to Charing Cross’s  Heaven  club on September 18th, where she'll be playing a one-off gig that will no doubt feature dirty lyrics, much skin, strap on dildos, and of course, some damn fine dirty-electropop!
