Women take the stage at APK Live

Header image for Interrobang article
It's ladies' night at the APK Live on February 25. And no, I don't mean that women get in for free and get cheap Jägerbombs. I mean that Half a Dino is bringing you a line up of female-fronted bands that will be taking the stage and showing London what they can do.

With their spot-on renditions of the tracks you know and love, Sheezer, the all-female Weezer cover band, is dedicated to creating their versions of tracks from the The Blue Album and Pinkerton while honouring the surf rock anthems of the alternative rock band. The lineup, which includes women from Canadian bands such as the Bicycles, By Divine Right and Ohbijou, has received praise from Rivers Cuomo himself and sold out the APK Live their last two visits.

Starting off the night will be local favourites Lonnie in the Garden. Fans of Born Ruffians saw the vocal powerhouse Lynne Craven lead her bandmates through the sold-out show. It's expected to see the same treatment on this night as they never disappoint.

After the bands do their part, DJ Media Frenzy will start off a latenight dance party. Being one of the few disc jockeys in the city who still spins with actual vinyl, she does her best to get everyone moving until the night is through.

There are plenty more great upcoming shows where that came from, including shows from bands like the 13-piece brass-funk band My Son the Hurricane (February 24), rock and roll darlings The Balconies (March 8), hardcore heavyweights Touche Amore (April 16) and Polaris Prize-nominated Plants and Animals — and those are just the ones that have been announced!
