“Lady Lazarus have burned bright in their short, sharp two years so far, which makes it a harder blow to know they’re moving to Berlin after one last gig (Nov 30, The Vic). This penultimate edition highlights exactly what we’ll miss and the Berliners stand to gain – fearsome energy and performance, savage guitars and […]

“Lady Lazarus launch their debut track ‘Hanna Banana’ tonight with rocket fuel and aggro, a set made of explosions and a fiery sneer.
