Paparazzi Whore Update

Paparazzi Whore performed at The 02 Wireless Festival on 25th June. Top of the billing was The Who! Paparazzi Whore lay down an awesome glam punk tinged melodic bass driven vibe that chucks you up the wall and pins you there. Frighteningly catchy tunes that just smack you full in the face giving you only pleasure. So no matter if you rock it up with the NME crowd or dance the night away with a superstar DJ, Paparazzi Whore appeals to all markets. The lyrics are thought provoking, taking everyday life situations in society to stir up a poetic realism. Combining this with snappy melodies and memorable choruses, it is all tied up with superb bright and edgy production by Micci.

Not since the days of such iconic artists as The Jam, The Stranglers and PIL has a UK band allowed their sound to be dominated by bass lines so dirty that they would give a monk a wet dream! When the band recently played The 02 Wireless Festival, Micci's deliverance, performance and strident vocals were compared to icons such as Siouxsie Sioux, Debbie Harry and Polly Styrene from X-Ray Spex. Paparazzi Whore already have a legion of fans in high places. Steve Lamacq (Radio 1), Claire Sturgess and John Kennedy from XFM London (the biggest rock station in the UK) being amongst the first to play their tracks.

Their music is also heavily rotated on many regional and commercial radio stations such as Alan Raw's BBC Raw Talent 95.9fm and Viking FM 96.9fm which has attracted even more fans to their sound.

The music is fast, fun and refreshing, as fuzzy glam punk pop vibes proceed throughout the album with 11 breathtakingly furious and punchy works that fly from the speakers leaving grimy vapour trails in their wake. The sheer coolness of tunes like I Don't Think So and the grungy swagger of I'll Be Your Boyfriend are further reasons for this band to be heard. You only have to check out their My Space profile and read the comments to see the buzz and the ever rising fan base.

Industry Quotes Cool Indie Stuff - Nice One! (John Kennedy - XFM London) Dynamic trash pop from Hull based glam punks, firmly rooted in the late 1970s but tinged with an up-to-the-minute vitality! (Musician Magazine - June 2006) It's no surprise to me that Paparazzi Whore have gained such rapid popularity. It's that bass driven sound, it's a sure deal winner! (Alan Raw, BBC Raw Talent - Raw Music Network.com)

Stunning tunes, all of which are bursting with vibrant pop sensibility! (Steve Rudd - ThisisUll.com) A bass line so dirty that it would make a monk have a wet dream! (Ian Turley - Radio Coma 16th June 2006)
