There was a time when women on the drums were something of a rarity - Mo Tucker, Karen Carpenter, Honey Lantree, but yesterday I saw no fewer than four. Breakneck Static played a rip-roaring session of intense mini-songs on the show though sadly my camera battery was dead so alas no pictures. Then, after a bracing cycle ride up to Shooter's Hill and back, it was off to the Macbeth to see the excellent Monday Club (top), Le Tetsuo, Shrag and Screaming Tea Party (below), all of whom had fantastic girl drummers, apart from Le Tetsuo, who make up for their lack of a stickswoman by having an equally marvellous female bassist, which went some way to mitigating the fact that they hail from Naaaarwich.
