Politics With Am-Mo

Hello there friendos. Here at Amazon Molly we like to document our travels, and our trip back from our London excursion to see She & Him was NO EXCEPTION. If, like us, you have been emotionally obliterated by the recent UK election aftermath shitbag of hell, you might find the following images useful. Likewise, if you had no idea that the UK was even having the biggest problem of its life, you might find the following images useful.

1. Go-Bro. OH GO-BRO. GO-BRO, GO-BRO, GO-BRO. WE MISS YOU ALREADY. WE EVEN MISS YOUR RETCH FACE. THAT IS SAYING A LOT.
Essentially, Liz feels exactly the same way as when Mutya left the Sugababes; up until that point, she had fucking hated her with her stupid upper lip piercing and horrible talon nails (read: disappointing civil liberties-related decisions in parliament). As soon as she left the Sugababes, Liz realised she loved her. She loved her raspy voice and, more importantly, Amelle was a piece of shit. There is no parliamentary equivalent to Amelle yet, but Liz is pretty certain that it will SUCK.

2. fuck my life.

3. Having enthusiastically supported the Lib Dems as the best of three evils, we were thrust into a CHASM of DISMAY when it became apparent that Nick Clegg might form a coalition with the FUCKING TORIES. These pictures attempt to depict our nervousness and fevered, possibly forbidden, hope.

4. After all that we needed some kind of relief. Amazon Molly may be emigrating sometime soon. Watch out world!

Updated Bio!

After a particularly disastrous outing to Hyde Park's finest cuisine, LS6, in which nothing was working because "it's the weekend" (this includes the pews), Stunt and Portable physically couldn't take it anymore; their creative frustation has come to you in the form of Amazon Molly. They love Facebook (Myspace not so much) and their favourite colours are hot pink and teal.

After being reliably informed that this biography was 'NOT VERY HELPFUL' Liz and Sof took it upon themselves to write a more substantial and enlightening version. Note: Both are completely accurate.

Amazon Molly find it quite difficult to categorise themselves; good analyses of their music include 'comedy post-riot grrrl' and 'fun, punky songs about Tetris, sex and gender politics'. They're influenced by pop, punk, folk, riot grrl, musicals, grunge, and "lesbian music", and like to think they sound like the awkward shouldn't-still-be-acting-like-a-teenager offspring of The Murmurs and Northern State, conceived with the Buffy soundtrack playing in the background. Except there is no rap. Yet.

Liz and Sof first met through a mutual friend that shall remain nameless: Ramzy Alwakeel. Two years after bonding over the extreme, life-shattering hotness of Shirley Manson, they realised starting a band was the only way forward. Their second gig was at Ladyfest Manchester 2008, appearing alongside GeEkgiRl and Das Wonderlust, in place of the GORGEOUS and WONDERFUL Robin Osterley.

Since then, they have played various gigs around Leeds with, among other people, the likes of Fanny DiWanko. They have also collaborated with Cambridge's FINEST Faith Taylor! This collaboration was featured on a complilation CD put together by the awesome people at Queer Mutiny entitled 'Queer We Go!'. Win? Sof played flute on a track called 'Growing Pains' on Tiny Tin Lady's 2008 album, Ridiculous Bohemia, and managed to nab Mr. Danni for second guitar and drumming purposes in the process.

They are currently working on producing an EP, provisionally called 'CAN I JUST' and are in the longlist to play Ladyfest London 2010. If you want them to play a gig, it is best to contact them through their Facebook page or Twitter.
