In which Not Right appear all over the place

by Ruth

Thanks to everyone who came to see us at Revolt – it was great to see so many people having a good time! We had some issues hearing ourselves on stage but apparently no-one noticed, which can only be a good thing. Apparently we sound like a proper band now and everything.

Talking of recent gigs, we’ve just put up some photos from Battle of the Bands. You can see them here.

Looking ahead to the future, we have many exciting gigs coming up. Here’s the ones we have confirmed at present:


Saturday 20th April (Leamington Spa)
We’ll be playing brand new Leamington venue LAMP alongside pop-punkers Taxi Treats and blues rock band Handsome Devils Club. This looks likely to be our last gig on home turf for a little while plus we’ve got a nice long set with many, many (short) songs, so if you live locally you should totally come down to see us play. We might even play some new tunes we’ve been working on…
More details, tickets etc.
Facebook event page.

Friday 10th May (London)
We’re playing the wonderfully named National Minimum Rage at Power Lunches in Hackney. Shopping and Methodist Centre are also playing, there will be DJs from Power Queers and Cinnamon Buns, zine distros, and a screening of “She Said Boom”, a documentary about Canadian feminist punk pioneers Fifth Column.
Facebook event page.

Saturday 11th May (Birmingham)
Can’t make it to London? Well, we’ll be shuttling up to the Midlands the very next day to take part in a punk halfdayer at the Adam & Eve organised by Birmingham collective Punks Alive. There will be many awesome bands playing from 2pm onwards!

Thursday 30th May (Birmingham)
We’ll be returning to the Adam & Eve at the end of May for another gig with Punks Alive – this time supporting Swedish goth rockers Dark Valentine.

Saturday 29th June (Brighton)
A fundraiser for Daughters Of Eve: an organisation committed to preventing female genital mutilation. It’ll take place in the Cowley Club and there will be a whole host riot grrrlesque groups also playing. More details to follow – keep an eye the live page.

…aaaand finally for now, we’d like to plug the latest issue of the Alternative Female Voices Magazine - not only because it’s great (as usual) but because our song “Balls” is on the covermount CD!

So many gigs

by Ruth

Thanks to everyone who came down to see us play, read our zines and nab our CDs at Zephyr on Friday – it was an utterly brilliant night and we totally enjoyed every minute of it. Parataxis, Old Raskals, Deathsex Bloodbath, We Are A Communist and James from Tempest all deserve praise too for utterly stonking sets. We should do this again soon!

From the (recent) past to (near) future…we‘re now booked for four events in the coming months:

On Tuesday 5th February we’ll be playing in the Copper Rooms for the annual University of Warwick Battle of the Bands. This will be the second year we enter, and once again we’ll be going all-out for our 15-minute performance. Last year we caused a bit of a stir after unexpectedly getting into the semi-final – this year, who knows?

Thursday 21st February: from the University of Warwick to Coventry University – we’re down to play at Love Music Hate Homophobia at Hush nightclub. More details to follow!

Saturday 16th March will see the return of Revolt! A proper line-up announcement for Coventry’s DIY riot grrrl ruckus should follow soon.

…and on Friday 10th May we’ll be returning to London for a gig with National Minimum Rage in Hackney’s Power Lunches!

Full details (and updates, when we have them!) can be found on our live page.

New gigs for a new year

by Ruth

We’ve got a couple of gigs already confirmed for 2013…

The first will take place on Saturday 26th January in the Zephyr Lounge, Leamington Spa. We’re opening a punk night that will also feature performances from We Are A Communist, Deathsex Bloodbath and Parataxis.

We’re also going to be playing Revolt! again at Taylor John’s House in Coventry on Saturday 16th March – the first event was huge amounts of fun with some amazing bands, DJs and distros, and this second night promises to be at least as good again!

More details on these events will follow soon, and we’re also planning to enter the University of Warwick Battle of the Bands for a second year running – more on that when we have it!

Love Music Hate Homophobia

by Ruth

Our next gig is a fundraiser for Prism LGBTQ and Unite Against Fascism on Thursday 29th November, at the University of Warwick Students’ Union in Coventry.

We’ll be playing alongside atomic surf-rock group We Are A Communist, pop-rockers Jordan and the Sketcheads and, uh, Warwick Glee. There will also be some kind of performance or dance lesson type thing from Warwick Salsa, and DJs from Rocksoc. Who needs genre consistency?

Tickets will be on sale soon here.

Revolt, Reviews, Renewal

by Ruth

So it’s been a little while since we posted an update here, but we’ve all been pretty busy in those personal lives we lead. Still, about time there was some reflection on recent happenings.

Revolt was full of awesome. The other acts were fantastic, the night had a great vibe and everything just went perfectly to plan (…which was weird, because I’ve been involved in a lot of nights and things never go perfectly to plan). There was feminism everywhere. I hear that our set went well but it was actually pretty difficult to tell from on-stage. I mostly remember some amusing false starts and trying to sing through a face full of hair.

There have been some pretty cool reviews in the wake of Revolt: you can read a couple of them at Cath Elms’ blog and the Atta Girl page.

We’ve also received a first review for Punk Is Not, courtesy of the Streetlamp blog. They compare us favourably to early 80s punk group !Action Pact! which is pretty damn flattering.

Finally (for now!) I’d like to draw your attention to some additions we’ve been making to this website. If you click on “sound and vision” you’ll find a whole host of photos, videos (including most of our set from Notts Pride), lyrics and the like. We’ve also finally got around to scanning our second and third zines, which you can find (predictably) under the “zines” tab. We’ll be periodically updating with new photos, new lyrics and the like as people take more pictures of us and we write more songs.

Revolt!

by Ruth

We’ve been making little references to Revolt for some time, and even put a hastily constructed poster for it onto the back of our most recent zine. But finally, the time has come to reveal more about Coventry’s riot grrrl night!

Revolt will take place in Taylor John’s House on Saturday 13th October. We’ll be opening the night in support of other punk bands, spoken word acts, DJs and a feminist burlesque group. Excited? Of course you are.

Full details can be found on the Revolt page, which should be updated over the next couple of months as more details are announced.

Not Right at Notts Pride

by Ruth

We’re playing the Trans Tent at Nottinghamshire Pride from around 1:30pm tomorrow (Saturday). In a sense, this is our first “festival” gig. We’ll be debuting a new song during our half-hour set, and will have some multi-coloured copies of our second zine.

If you can make it, there’s a whole load of other exciting things happening in the Trans Tent during the Saturday afternoon. Recreation Nottingham have put together a brilliant line-up with some of the best trans and queer performers in the country. Poetry, cabaret, comedy and rock…it’s all here.

We’ve created a Facebook event page for our set.

More gigs

by Ruth

We’re playing Robbin’s Well for the second time in as many weeks this coming Wednesday, at an event run by student promoters Resound. We’ll be playing alongside Subject To Change, Gunmen of the Apocalypse, Coast Is Clear and Instinct By Default.

The night kicks off at 7:30pm and entry is free! What’s not to like?

There’s an event page here for Facebook users.

Then at the end of July we’ve been invited to play the trans area at Nottinghamshire Pride (no, really!) We don’t have many details on this one as yet, so watch the live page for updates.
