I first saw The New Zealand Band Miss June perfomce this year at The Wellington gig venue “San Fran”. They were doing a tour for their new album ‘Bad Lucky Party’ , the album is about somone finding their place in a world as distorted and ambivalent as the forces that control it.
Miss June are a four-piece from Auckland who are purveyors of the noisy-punk movement. Their debut EP found frontwoman Annabel Liddell (my all time favourite performer) being placed as the voice for a generation of young females, through her feminist, she to me is such a power woman when watchign her, so fierce and loud!
Miss June can be seen as has influence from bands like Sonic Youth, Hole, Bikini Kill and Le Tigre. My favourte song form their albums are ‘Clyde’ and ‘Please Waste My Time’
If ‘Bad Luck Party’ can be split into two things, then it is the all-too-human experiences of rage that stems from the frustration of being a person who find themselves disadvantaged based on circumstances out of their control; and the softness that comes from encountering warmth from another person, no matter how short it may last. ‘Anomaly’ comes across as a supernova that explores the lust of a fleeting encounter which is intense at first, but dies out quite quickly. The fun of this, is that the song actually transpires in the reverse. Miss June have released a debut that is personal, relatable, and filled with bangers no matter what mood you may be in.
Overall, Miss June is an amazing band and i cant wait for them to blow up Internationally!
Welcome to my exciting life
