This is the rather wonderful Betty And The Werewolves who we first saw supporting Holly Golightly at the 100 Club in London.
They are three girls and one boy from London who whoop and howl through the night as sweetly sung melodies collide with glitter-struck punk guitars.
Taking inspiration from luminary lycanthropes Virginia Woolf and Grandma Wolf, they sing ditties about falling in love with David Cassidy and strange encounters on night buses, shouting all the while and scuffing up their party shoes.
In their short time together they have just appeared live in the indie film of the year ’1-2-3-4’ doing the A & B side of their debut single ‘Euston Station’ (Damgood 312), that was followed with their second single ‘David Cassidy’. They’ve recently been in the studio and have recorded their upcoming debut album and a third single. To be released in 2010.
They recently featured on Rough Trade’s recent and rather good Indie-Pop compilation.
You may have seen them on tour with their biggest fans, Fucked Up in late 2008
