Power lunch this Monday – Lambrini Girls, live at Kantine Club in Cologne, Germany and recorded on December 7, 2025 by the venerable West German Radio.
In the odd event you don’t already know, Lambrini Girls formed in Brighton UK, the band currently consists of Phoebe Lunny and Selin Macieira-Boşgelmez. After releasing their debut single in 2021 and signing to Big Scary Monsters by November 2022, in May 2023 they released the EP You’re Welcome, which received positive critical reception from music publications. They subsequently drew attention for defending themselves against anti-transgender campaigners. Their 2025 debut album, Who Let the Dogs Out, charted at No. 16 on the UK Albums Chart and received positive reception from multiple outlets.
They are appearing at Coachella this year, ahead of a small tour of the East and Mid-west before heading back to homebase for the rest of the year.
In March 2025, the Lambrini Girls and 57 other artists were awarded funding from that year’s Music Export Growth Scheme, with Lisa Nandy – the then-Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport – describing the 58 as the “best of British culture”. The band received just under £15,000, which funded their driver, tour manager, sound engineer and technician for a European tour. The fact that the band’s “God’s Country” implied that Britain was full of “racist uncles” and “flag-shaggers” and that Lunny had opined in a February 2024 DIY interview that it was embarrassing to be from England due to its racism and xenophobia led commentators in numerous newspapers to ask why the band were being funded by British tax. In response, Lunny pointed out that it was hypocritical for the far right to be preaching free speech but object to theirs, while Macieira-Boşgelmez opined that only funding bands useful for propaganda would constitute fascism.
While you’re waiting for Coachella to get rolling, press Play and get a taste of what you’ll be diving into, come April.
Promises to be the full-on tour of Crazytown.
