Ever wondered what Sleater-Kinney covering The Ronettes would sound like? Or Belle & Sebastian reinterpreted by The Ramones? With lyrics by Julie Burchill in a really sarcastic, bitchy, cynical mood? Wonder no more. This is only The Lollies' second gig, and blushing drummer Matthew's got placard-waving groupies already! Sexy Moog squelcher Rachel's stepped straight out of a Stereolab video and singers Jane & Kate exude just the right combination of self-deprecating badinage and this-guitar-KILLS attitood to stop the scuzzy bababa Elastica-with-wit songs totally tripping over themselves. With titles like 'Susan Is A Lesbian Now', love songs about record collections and proclamations like 'the only things we own on this stage are our clothes', The Lollies are tailor-made for the ever-growing glitter massive. As the T-shirt says, they don't suck...
