D’Lambrini Girls maachen haarden, kompromësslose Punk, deen den Iggy Pop, d’Idles a Sleater Kinney gutt fannen. An England leeft hier Musek souguer och um Radio. Dat läit och dorun, datt hir Lidder oft immens catchy sinn. Da geet de politesche Message och gutt mat rof.
Kritik u Sexismus op der Aarbechtsplaz
Een Theema, wat hinne vill um Häerz Leit, dat ass Gläichberechtegung. “Company Culture” zum Beispill baséiert op Erfarungen, déi d’Sängerin a Guitaristin Phoebe Lunny a verschiddene vun hire Jobs gemaach huet. D’Lidd soll awer allgemeng eng Kritik u Sexismus op der Aarbechtsplaz sinn.
"This song is literally about harassment in the workplace and discrimination in the workplace and it's like quite a generic take on it but that's because I don't think I know any woman or queer person that has been made uncomfortable in the workplace or been traumatised in the workplace."
D’Musekindustrie ass dovun natierlech net ausgeschloss. An dat fänkt heiansdo schonn an de Museksgeschäfter un, wann ee sech wëll Material kafen. D’Phoebe an d’Bassistin Lily Macieira erënnere sech un ee bestëmmte Fall.
"-You feel it a lot in music shops and even at gigs still with sound engineers and stuff trying to explain how your own gear works to you.
- The one guy with the master, I'll never get over that.
- I had a sound engineer once explain to me what master and gain do on an amp. Things like that still happen a lot. "
An dat geet da rëm zeréck op d’Aarbechtskonditioune vun de Fraen. Männlech Aarbechtskolleege schwätzen oft fir een, oder erklären engem säin eegene Job, sou d’Lilly.
"- Women can never be musicians and then women they, always gonna be female musicians and then you see that reflected in how some crew and some music shops and stuff treat you because you can tell that they just don't take you seriously.
- We still have it sometimes when sound engineers talk about my gear to our male crewmember or in a previous band that I played in talk about my gear to the male band member, even you know so yeah, I feel like this is part of the genneral sort of like unawareness of of how people view women in the the workplace."
Aggressiv Messagen an der Inbox
Mee si setzen dech och fir d’Rechter vun Trans-Leit an, wéi zum Beispill an hirem Lidd “Terf Wars.” TERF steet fir trans-exclusionary radical feminism a beschreift eng reaktionär anti-trans Beweegung. Fir hir Engagement sinn d’Lambrini Girls online attackéiert ginn, sou d’Phoebe.
"I mean, to be honest, yes I've been genuinely scared before that someone's gonna come to one of our shows and it still creeps into my head sometimes. There was a moment where I was really scared of getting some really aggressive messages and I got really paranoid."
Si seet awer, dass een dat Ganzt net op d’Band zentréiere soll.
"What we experienced is nothing that what a trans woman has to go through on daily basis for these people."
Kommerzielle Succès als Punk-Band?
D’Lambrini Girls presentéieren op der Tour hiren Debutalbum ‘Who Let the Dogs out’ an hunn den 19. Mäerz an de Rotande gespillt. Nom Brexit ass d’Touren an der EU allerdéngs gutt Stéck mei deier ginn.
"It's definitely made things very difficult for UK artists and things don't need to be any more difficult for UK artists like travelling in Europe because in the UK you don't get paid for gigs or you get paid very very very little."
Datt et schwéier ass, als weiblech Punk-Grupp de groussen Duerchbroch ze maachen, dees si sech d’Lambrini Girls bewosst. Si soen, et géinge vill Gruppe wéi si ginn, iwwer déi awer ni bericht gëtt.
Si hätten de Privileeg, e Kontrakt mat engem Plackelabel ze hunn, seet d’Phoebe, an dat mécht natierlech een Ënnerscheed. Kann een als Punk-Band awer de kommerziellen Duerchbroch maachen? A kann een dann nach weider fluchen?
"Our goal is also to break into the mainstream and to get ourselves in front of as many people as possible and in order to do that, you know you can't go on BBC One and start saying fuck shit fuck shit, you know. Well, you can if you're Rage Against the Machine and that's fucking cool, but you know you can also be you can be strategic about it."
Dat heescht awer net, datt ee kee Spaass kann dobäi hunn. A wie weess, vläicht ginn déi zwee eemol Fernseh-Staren.
"We want to get on TV on everyone's nighttime dinner programs so people can watch us while they're having their dinner. I'd love to shout at people. I'd love for Phoebe to shout at people whilst they’re having their dinner."
