We live in generously terrible times – instead of just one incompetent man running the country we have two. Lucky us. So you’ll understand why we’ve begun wondering how different things might be if a woman was Prime Minister [Erm, Thatcher anyone? – Ed]. Witch! at Komedia seems to be on a similar train of thought, bringing Brighton a night that celebrates all female-fronted music from the 70s up to now.
Chris ‘Da Doo Ron Ron’ and Jon ‘Born Bad’ play punk, pop, dance and rock to a jiving floor full of coiffured quiffs, polka-dot dresses and eyeliner.
A healthy dancefloor explodes as Hole is heard. Courtney Love starts crooning over grungy guitar riffs and the girls and guys really lose themselves in lascivious revelry, which tells you everything you need to know about the crowd. From then on Komedia’s studio bar is pulsating with a furore for female pop as diverse as Beyonce, Elastica and Blondie, and who can honestly resist the charms of Mis-Teeq? We vote Alesha Dixon for PM – wouldn’t that be scandalous?
