The monthly helping of Dance Magic Dance at Shoreditch’s Old Blue Last was tonight serving up a distinctly female-fronted indie dish. First up were Kids Love Lies with their agreeably frenetic post-punk sound.
We were then treated to Betty and the Werewolves, who gave us bouncy garage-fuelled stompers with lyrics guaranteed to put a smile on your face.
Main course tonight was the all-girl group Mentalists. Taking to the stage in outfits that a cynic might have deemed as a touch Bangles-y, they mix a New Wave edge with power-pop sensibilities, led by singer Kim E. Leon’s powerful vocals, and they launched into a blistering set. With a spot at Glasto in a couple of weeks, they are bound to go down a storm. Watch out, Worthy Farm, these girls rock!
