Boom Boom Womb are my new favourite band and it was great catching up with them at the Alberts Shed in Shrewsbury. Sadly I missed the other bands on the bill due to having so much to do that Saturday!

Ok so not everything went to plan due to a couple of technical hitches but this Riot Grrrl influenced band kicked ass and rightfully deserve to be playing more high profile gigs up and down the country.

I never knew this venue existed but what a brilliant back drop to be playing in front of!

I think the only change to make in their set is the song where they go mental should close the set. It’s all about leaving the audience wanting more and that’s the song to go out on!

While still not familiar with Boom Boom Womb’s set they delivered songs like I Want, We Got A Girl, Chick Habit and Strike My Box in style. If you love bands like Bikini Kill, The Muffs and Lunachicks then you’re going to love this band.

Put it this way if they were around in the 90’s and playing shows with Bikini Kill, Huggy Bear and more they’d be a big thing now. They can play, they can sing and look the part!

If you’re a promoter you need to give Boom Boom Womb a gig!

Next gig is at the Firefly in Oakengates on Friday 25th April.
