shouty fun feminist punk
We had so much fun at Rebellion Festival! While we were there we met up with Aggy Gillon of Devolution Magazine for a chat, read what we said here: https://devolutionmagazine.co.uk/2022/08/28/interview-rebellion-tapes-rabies-babies
If you’re going to Rebellion then please support us and join us for a dance and a drink at the After Dark and RIS stage 7.15 – 7.45pm on the Saturday. We’d love to see some friendly faces!
This is how to move a drum kit and amps proper punk diy style!
Thank you to Mike and the South London Punk Collective for putting a fantastic gig last night. It was great to play at a gig with almost all females on stage. Let’s do it again soon!
Today we had a fun pre-gig practice with Mike (Dinosaur Skull) who is standing in for Tabi on drums at the Queens Head tomorrow. We are so excited about this gig, we’ve been playing gigs for almost 23 years and for most of that we’ve been the ‘token girls’ in a man’s domain. This is the first time we have played on such a female centric line up (Mike will be the only man on stage all night). 23 years ago we could only dream of this line up happening. Mike organised this gig, and when he was choosing the bands for the night he said that it didn’t hit him until the line up was fixed that he would be the only man on stage all night, and he said that he wants to wear a ‘token male’ T-shirt to the gig, (so I drew him wearing it).
Rabies Babies are playing at 8pm, so please come early!
We are playing with the fantastic Shooting Daggers, Comeback Clit and Dinosaur Skull on Saturday 29th January at the Queens Head in Brixton.
It’s £5 (pay cash on the door – old style)
Scroll down to check out videos from Shooting Daggers, Comeback Clit and Dinosaur Skull.
UPDATE: CANCELLED DUE TO COVID
Our final gig of the year! Playing alongside our favourites I, Doris.
Sheila will be standing in on drums for this one (she played with us at Wotsit Called Fest).
Come along and join the festive fun (remember to do a lateral flow test first!)

Our record was only released on Friday and today Damaged Goods told us that they have SOLD OUT! We have a very small amount to sell at gigs and we’ll be putting a handful of these for sale on our Bandcamp page soon – keep an eye open so you don’t miss out!
9 days to go until our record is released! Here is one of the songs from it…
Rape Is Rape, Even If The Rapist Is In A Band That You Like
Just because someone is in a band that you like doesn’t mean they are incapable of sexual assault. Too often when men in bands are accused of assault the victim is called a liar, blamed, and is ostracised. This song is not commenting on any particular person or incident. We believe that the problem is widespread – almost all of the women we know in the punk scene have experienced some levels of sexual assault or violence, it is time that the problem is taken seriously and we get rid of the culture that gives men in bands a free pass to act how they want with no consequences.
