The Last Dinner Party. Probab;y been around for yonks, but I’m old. They’re a bit like Wet Leg but with a much better idea about pop/rock dynamics. “Sinner” is my current earworm.
Your new favourite female rock band

…and what a belter it is, doncha think?
Can’t find a studio Youtube video, but this one works fine.
Exciting…Young….Rock…Women. Are you sure you’ve posted on the right site??
This was great fun. It looks as though they’d be excellent live. They all really give it some welly. One to keep tabs on.
I’m not sure they are like Wet Leg. Far rockier. Less quirky.
Like that – never heard them before (only 2 singles so far).
This was the first, and probably wouldn’t be on the radio due to a naughty word in the chorus
In that photo, they almost look like the Derry Girls!
Great stuff! Something slightly Abba-ish about this one.
If that’s not your bag, another somehat edgy rock anthem for your pleasure.
Must say the two Last Dinner Party tracks have been earworms for a month or so now.
On a more punky vein….. Cheerbleederz!
That was excellent.
The world has changed since Girlschool and Rock Goddess in the 1980s!
I’ve been enjoying Los Bitchos set at Glastonbury far more than a middle-aged man probably should. Perhaps it helps that their bassist looks like Tina Weymouth in 1978?
I quite like LDP, they’re much better than anything those haggard, wrinkled hackneyed pastits will put out this year.
Those Dinner Ladies are going places fast!
Supporting the extremely talented and very popular Hozier at one of Stockholm’s largest arenas!
That will put them on the Swedish map.
There go my hopes of seeing them for 20 kronor in a small cellar on Södermalm!
Are all Swedish posters written in English, KFD?
It’s not all in English – it says “Biljetter via luger.se” right down at the bottom of the poster!
there is a tonne of record industry cash being thrown at this lot, think they will be big.
Yep. They had a prime slot on the Nick Cave All Points East day last year. Rumours abounded of whether they were nepo babies or, as seems more likely now, just very good.
Lots of great music by lady bands in recent times (granted, not all of it RAWKS); Boygenius, Body Type, The Big Moon, MUNA, Girl Ray.. and I may have mentioned Dream Wife already ..
(Body Type – Summer Forever)
This is the sort of post I like. More of this please! Late mid-20th century nostalgia is fine (if you like that sort of thing), but a balance of early mid-21at century music can only be a good thing – with a fulcrum of 80s/90s classics, of course.
My favourite named tribute band.
Slady
An excellent doco popped up on iPlayer about early 70s band Fanny which is well worth a look. I remember them from an NME flexidisk which had “Blind Alley”, a fine rocking track.
Nice try but wrong century! 😊
A new, female, beat combo from Norway: Witch Club Satan.
They are playing Kulturhuset in Stockholm this autumn and I suspect @DuCo01 will be trying to drag me along. He does like a bit of restrained, tuneful, ambient, NogJazz.
If you’re looking for an all-female band that is quirky, experimental, electronic, genderqueer and visually dramatic, Karin Dreijer’s Fever Ray should hit the nail on the head. The Knife’s former singer has certainly gone her own way.
I saw them at Roskilde and they made quite an impression.
She’s very charismatic and looks like a cross-dressing, zombie matinee idol.
