I will willingly go to my grave proclaiming Dolly Mixture as one of the most influential bands of the post-punk era.

Time spent with Debsey really is the best of times. As @sian-superman.bsky.social said, why she hasn’t been Queen of Everything up to now is a mystery. Buy her beautiful story about friendship, creativity and the confidence of youth and let’s get her crowned before the weekend

"In their bright frocks, chunky monkey boots and boyish haircuts, the vivacious postpunk hopefuls Dolly Mixture were hard to miss around town in late-70s Cambridge"

Supporting the Jam, sausages with the Bay City Rollers and defying skinheads: post-punk girl group Dolly Mixture look back
Supporting the Jam, sausages with the Bay City Rollers and defying skinheads: post-punk girl group Dolly Mixture look back
The all-girl trio gave punk a playful spin and drew admirers in Paul Weller and Captain Sensible – but, singer Debsey Wykes recalls, faced confusion for being out of step with era’s noise and anger

I've just reviewed @debseyonbass.bsky.social's memoir about Dolly Mixture for @louderthanwar.bsky.social. I liked it a lot.

Let the sky be dark with hats.

Today sees @newmodernbooks.bsky.social's first book published (Justin Currie's absorbing tour diary). What a return to the frontline for @peteselby.bsky.social. A stonking new chapter opens...
