    I used to play this SO LOUD in my kick ass stereo at 3am totally pissed dancing around my living room in London. In the morning, late morning, I would ask my kindly elderly widowed neighbour if she was disturbed by the loud music and she always said “no darling you just have fun”. She was sweet.

Beth Gibbins performance was SO intense, her eyes connected with every person in that audience. At the end of the show she jumped down in front of the stage and shook hands/exchanged hugs with everyone in the front row, including me! Set a bloody high bar for other vocalists to meet after seeing her :)

    As a Chinese girl who got to see their live at 18 years old, I almost fainted at the first line by the unimaginable energy field it brought to me. The safe guard lit up his torch to check if I was alright. I was just too overwhelmed by everything I was experiencing in their music.

    For I've been a temptress too long
    Just
    Give me a reason to love you
    Give me a reason to be, a woman
    I just want to be a woman
    From this time, unchained
    We're all looking at a different picture
    Through this new frame of mind
    A thousand flowers could bloom
    Move over, and give us some room
    Give me a reason to love you
    Give me a reason to be, a woman
    I just want to be a woman
    So don't you stop, being a man
    Just take a little look from our side when you can
    Sow a little tenderness
    No matter if you cry
    Give me a reason to love you
    Give me a reason to be, a woman
    It's all I want to be is all woman
    For this is the beginning of forever and ever
    It's time to move over
    I'm so tired, of playing
    Playing with this bow and arrow
    Gonna give my heart away
    Leave it to the other girls to play
    For I've been a temptress too long
