I, Doris opened with a characteristically changeable lineup, featuring Saz from The Ondines on guitar and Tee from Wokerati Party on drums. The Dorisses have now officially claimed Tee as their “summer drummer”, joining them for their UK gigs through to the end of the summer before their autumn international adventures. They also debuted a brand new song, which was VERY exciting.

Next up, Bristol’s Moxie Dolls absolutely blew us away. A properly stonking band with brilliant songs, expert musicians and lovely folk to boot. It feels like they’re right at the start of a very exciting adventure, and it was a thrill to witness.

By the time Sisters of Hysteria took over, we’d already fallen in love with them during their LOUD WOMEN Radio session earlier in the week. Their set currently includes some very well-chosen covers, including Muse’s ‘Supermassive Black Hole’ and one of our favourite PJ Harvey songs, ‘Sheela-Na-Gig’, but it’s their original material that makes it clear this brand-new band are serious ones to watch. Incredible musicians, every single one of them, and an absolute joy to host.

Huge Team LOUD WOMEN thanks to our super snappers Keira Anee and Natasha Winge, and Eve Pitt who came along to help for the first time and did amazing work on the door, managing merch and, above and beyond the call of duty, staging a full modelling session with our brand-new T-shirts. Keep your eyes peeled for those.
