“It was a song that Bruce and I wrote at the end of Nylon Pylon that catches the spirit of what we have now with The Whip. We never did that one so we knew we could resurrect it and give it life.”

The band aren’t currently signed and are apparently in discussions to land an album deal though all being well they should soon be releasing another dance song on the French label Kitsumé.

At this time I realise I’ve neglected the band’s drummer Little Fi, who is sitting opposite me perched on the end of a sofa. I apologise and ask what it’s like to play with the three guys.

“I did some session work with an all girl band called ‘Dead Disco’ and the first band I ever joined was all girls. There’s not much difference really as most of the people I come in contact with are all men.”

Suddenly there’s a snigger from the back of the room, Fi and myself clock what we’ve just said. As it becomes apparent to the others that we’ve just realised the sniggers turn to laughter.

“It’s mostly guys,” she continues ignoring the laughter. “It’s quite novel being the only girl. All my flat mates are all men. I need more girl action.”

The laughing gets louder and Fi puts her head in her hands. “It’s not an issue for me, the girl thing,” she adds whilst raising her head.

The laughing continues again and Fi turns to give the guys sitting behind her a piercing stare before she continues.

“It’s like the expectations are so low. Last night I overheard a girl talking about a girl drummer. So she was on the phone saying ‘ I don’t think you’d want a girl in the band because girls can’t generally hit’.” >>
