Reviews and photos from Berlin Brides' show @ Offset Festival in London

So what should right now be sounding like? Quite possibly the electronica of Greece’s Berlin Brides, a pleasant diversion from the stern, dour British feeling of the rest of the day in the New Bands tent. One part Yeah Yeah Yeahs, two parts Long Blondes and a truckfull of mid-90s europop, their glossy veneer is shattered by songs about failed celibacy and unsuccessful wanking, always an excellent accompaniment for dance music. They’d be a guilty pleasure if there was anything to feel guilty about, but thankfully the usual twee europop magic doesn’t deprive the band of its edge. They can later be seen by Hainault tube station discussing the merits of Haribo. Bosh.

Inside again we are treated to a superb performance from Berlin Brides, who actually hail from Athens, Greece. This predominantly female band specialise in an upbeat electronic punk-funk that has everyone dancing along in no time. These women are genuinely earthy and sexy, in a way that the prim gals from say, Ipso Facto, are not. The songs are often concerned with bedroom matters too, notably signature tune ‘Failure To Wank’ and the tale of the bi-sexual ‘Scooter Boy’. Tremendous, smutty fun.

We all went for a bit of a look around, then when trying to find Rxkittens boyfriend we went into the Guitar hero stage where we saw a band called Berlin brides who were awesome. They were from Athens and we even got given a demo after, so expect to hear them on MTJR!

Scooter Boy

Tue, 02 Sep 2008 11:56:37 -0400

I saw you at a party
Where the crowd was hip and arty
And liquor was all over the floor
You didn’t seem me standing
Cause your eyes were more demanding
You were checking out a boy near the door

But then I caught your eyes
Cause my gaze could not lie
My libido just gave you the nod
So you said “What the hell,
M of F I can’t tell,
Let’s take this one back to my pad

You quoted Botticelli
When you touched my chubby belly
And took me through your bedroom door
Were you experimenting
Or were simply just pretending
And what if I then wanted something more

Scooter Boy gay boy
Do you even know
Do you crave James Dean
Or Marilyn Monroe

Scooter Boy gay boy
There’s no right or wrong
Between Spiderman
And Suzie Wong

Scooter Boy gay boy
You fucked your best friend
Was it real love
Or a passing trend

Scooter Boy gay boy
I fucked your best friend
It felt so good
So I’ll do it again

Rejection Junkie

Tue, 02 Sep 2008 11:55:48 -0400

I must confess I like excess
When we meet up
And we undress
But what immensely
Turns me on
Is when you don’t
Pick up your phone

When I come round
And you’re not there
When you ignore me
And not care

It sounds absurd
But it’s so true
And that’s why I’m
Hung up on you

I am your rejection junkie
I’m your chained up little monkey

Off The Rack

Tue, 02 Sep 2008 11:54:53 -0400

I fell in love with this white leather jacket
The line at the till was too long I said “fuck it!”
As I put it on the anti-theft thing fell off
So, wearing the jacket, I wondered off

I fell in love with these white leather shoes
No money in my pocket I almost got the blues
I wore them, took my trainers off, put them in my bag
I feel so clever I cannot help but brag

I fell in love with this blue-eyed boy
Walking around town he was the perfect toy
I knew he had a girlfriend but he looked damn fine
Without a second thought I made him mine

Whatever life owes me I make sure I take back
Either on the street or off the rack
Whatever life owes me I make sure I take back
Either on the street or off the rack

I’m a self-indulgent, cheap-ass poet
I may lack the talent but I wouldn’t even know it
