week it’s an all live Paranoid Squirrel Rock Show courtesy of The Hip Priests

and the Bitch Queens with the first gig of their short three date English

tourette recorded at The Black Heart in Camden. The Bitch Queens, who hail from

Basel, Switzerland, come across as the perfect mix of The Dead Boys and

Hellacopters with a large smattering of Turbonegro attitude. The band consists

of Mel Quitt

(Vox/Guitar), Harry Darling (Drums/Vox), Danny Schönenberger (Guitar) and

Marcel Colomb (Bass /Vox) and have been out on the road since 2008 finding time

to record and release the “Female Shotgun”, “Suck It Up” and “Kill Your Friends”

albums along with a clutch of spit singles. The Hip Priest as I’m sure you’re

aware have been doing their brand of white trash, oversexed, inbred Rock ‘n’ Roll with

the (God) Father figures of Iggy Pop, Johnny Thunders, Lemmy and Handsome Dick

looking on with dismay since 2006. In this time the band have brought us

countless 7”s, three albums, one Japanese compilation/rarities CD all topped of

with the just released live DVD “FO IN HH”. However; live is where the band are

best viewed or in the case of this week’s show, heard.
