June 25th What The Butler Saw Cardiff Burlesque night..

Big thanks to all at What the Butler Saw for looking after us and giving us an amazing night, everyone was lovely!! We weren't performing but just went down to watch our newest kitten
Kitty Deville from Cardiff, the theme was wild west and she did a wicked routine where she was a 'male' robber doing a stand and deliver type routine before stripping down to a sexy female reveal all complete with a toy horse and arrest at the end!! Great stuff! Loved it there with the girls Kitty, Sophia and Lolly Pop as well as our friend Dan, hopefully we will be back there soon and possibly performing at one in the future! Lots of funny pix from our drunken shenanigans. heres a couple inc pic of me in my cowgirl costume which is pretty much how i dress on a normal night out haha!

The Glitter Kittens rock Download Festival.

Had an awesome weekend, myself and sophia ran riot around download festival and had much fun!!
We were joining rock band Voodoo six there and promoting and stuff which was a good laugh, gives you an excuse to meet lots of strangers too which is always fun. This year there wasnt too many bands I wanted to see (beside Voodoo Six of course) except Motorhead and Pendulum who didnt disapoint!! I was so excited about Motorhead i was sad haha, Kiss were great too, we got to stand at the very front and jump around alot like nutters, i did take pictures but i think the alcohol had taken over any artistic qualities I may have.. We spent the rest of Friday night partying and spreading the word about The Glitter Kittens and such, met some cool random partyers to team up with and debated getting tattooed for free backstage before decided it was probably smarter to do it over the weekend when sober!! Saturday we were working but made sure we caught Pendulum and HIM, we wanted to ask Ville Valo for a pick with us but again never got round to that cos we were drunk ah well!! Another party night though a bit tamer followed, Download Festival had a stupid 10.30pm curfew on the arena this year and as we weren't in the campsite the only parties we could go to were the backstage ones and they were pretty tame and lame to be honest!! Lots of people waiting for someone they recognised which isn't my scene and was a real let down for me, what happened to the late night cabaret's here and shows like the burlesque ones or dirty sanchez or lucifire and the suspension hooks?? without that second lot of fun to look forward to it felt a bit calm for a festival but what can ya do!!

London proud Galleries gig Camden..The glitter kittens burlesque Live.

great day out in London, there is no where better to be than Camden market on a Sunday so the great thing is we have a new monthly residency doing glitter kittens sets for Proud Galleries one Sunday every month! yay wicked!! we started off on June 8th and had a great time, did 2x10 minute sets which went down really well before having a boogie to dj Johnny Clash and getting very tipsy, the night was booming til late so stayed til near the end before popping to the Dublin castle for a pint where we met a couple of weirdos who were trying to set up threesomes with random strangers before falling out with each other and causing a scene by the female of the pair pouring around 4 pints onto the very simple and smarmy gent who stayed in the venue and tried to carry on solo! very odd haha! we headed back to our hotel for some drunken gossiping before finally falling to sleep content and worn out!!

Kreeps 'Cyanide' music video feat burlesque dancers the glitter kittens.

Just found this video, i have so much footage somewhere!! This is a rough version of the video we did for the US band The Kreeps last year. It was basically improvised in three takes which is why its a little less slick than what we usually do but i like the style of it and the song was really cool, the only problem was we had only heard it once before the shoot due to the director not getting it to us in time, never mind, fun and games! we enjoyed ourselves and it turned out well in the end considering the lack of preperation! so here it is..

denim sings the blues..

haha just found this from ages ago in the garret.. she's a star!! i think she should do this on britains got talent!!

MAPS Festival Manchester May 25th

Absolutely bloody shattered today, I have a hangover and feel like rubbish, look like it too which would be ok if I had a lazy sunday ahead but today were performing as part of the MAPS festival which is a festival spread across a variety of venues in the Northern Quarter of Manchester. It started Friday but we havent had chance to check any of it out with being away but Manchester has been rammed all weekend so I know its going well. Denim gets back to mine for 5.30pm and we head to our first destination and first set of the evening for 6.30pm MOHO Live next door to Afflecks Palace, as we arrive theres a band playing so we get changed in a cosy room with a black leather couch thats calling my name to snuggle up on and crash out but no time for that. We get on stage around 7pm to a small but appreciative crowd including the previous band who form a front row for us. A couple of photos with members of the audience and then we scoot of to the second venue of our evening, Night and Day on Oldham street where we are now set to go onstage at 9pm. We have a couple of drinks, mingle with the crowd and watch a couple of really good bands but its so rammed in the small venue that its really draining and sweaty. We find a little cosy corner at the back to set up base and sit gossiping and watching the door man who had the best curly moustache ever a la Eugene from Gogol Bordello. This time we had to change in the ladies toilets- the glamour while creating a fascinated crowd of drunk older women, they were lovely though and vowed to cheer very loud for us which they did!! We managed to entertain the packed out crowd of trendy manchester scenesters which I was happy about as I wasn't sure how they would take to it. The smiles on everyones faces and cheers said they especially loved our silly charleton-esque routine that we did so all in all we are half way there and going well!!
We meet my friend Liam and stroll to venue number three of the evening definately in need of an alcoholic fix by now, purely just to keep me awake, im so shattered from hitting the gigging and partying hard since thurs. The Roadhouse is half full, theres an interesting Ska type band on that are followed by a pretty decent female fronted band. They look really young and as always we dont really fit in. The manager was nice and gave us her office to change in due to too many sweaty young boys in the changing room but the sexist soundman was a bit of a wanker to be honest from what I hear from Denim he talked to her like she was a little girl and was suprised to hear she was part of a show and not some little fan of a band. Either way by the time we got to the stage doing our girl on girl dark duet to Tainted Love he looked to be enjoying himself as did the rest of the room, lots of girls were loving it which I prefer really so from another success all that was left was to head to the after party at Ruby Lounge. After walking through the streets of manchester totally shattered but having fun to cries of 'theres Johnny Depp' at my friend Liam (he is Jack Sparrow wether he likes it or not!!) we arrive at our final destination. The door man is happy to see us I think, he loved it last time we performed, he had sneaked in to watch the show and said he would again ha. Ruby Lounge was full to the brim with a mix of people. We are late for our last set so get put back to midnight which gets a mixed reception. Fraser King are playing tonight, I really liked them last time I saw them. We get ready backstage and after hanging about for a while and chilling its finally the last leg of the show. I would normally love the excitement surrounding the festival and want to party well into the night but tonight im on reserved energy. I do love the gig though, we only have to do ten mins, two routines back to back and with a packed venue and everyone leaning on the stage the energy and atmosphere is awesome. We go for it and really have fun. The crowd go wild, we run off and were nearly done!! We stick around for a bit of a mingle before heading off around 1 am shattered, leaving Liam behind to get harassed by drunk girls wanting to have pictures with them haha rock on!!
All in all a triumphant day for the glitter kittens!
