Da Doo Ron Ron has been foisting female-fronted pop on Brighton for the last 13 years, so it shouldn’t be too much of a surprise to learn that they’re starting a similarly themed live band night at The Hope. Y-chromosomes are actually allowed in the bands, as long as they’re backing a miss on the mic. It’s Alive runs on the first Saturday of the month and launches on Saturday 3rd with The Trudy, a definitive realisation of lady larynx power pop in the classic tradition of Blondie and awesome stuff like that.
