Some bands ease you in. Lambrini Girls do not. They kick the door off its hinges, shout something unprintable, and then describe themselves better than any critic ever could: “The best band in the world. Imagine your nan is in the boot of your car with a croissant in her mouth and hears Bikini Kill for the first time.” For once, a band’s own biography isn’t just accurate, it’s almost understated. Their universe is a beautiful mess: political fury wrapped in party-starting punk and righteous anger delivered with razor-sharp jokes. They’re loud, they’re fed up, and they’re hilariously funny — the sort of fun that feels both liberating and communal. And on their latest and critically acclaimed album “Who Let the Dogs Out” the Brighton duo pushes everything even further. It’s louder, it’s wilder, it’s smarter, and without a doubt a record that will send Lambrini Girls touring all over the world. Live, Phoebe Lunny and Selin Macieira-Boşgelmez operates like a two-person riot. Sweat flying, amps screaming while the whole room is vibrating somewhere between chaos and clarity. A catharsis that visitors at Way Out West will get to experience first-hand this summer.

 

Labmrini Girls will perform in Slottsskogen on Friday August 14th
