Could the real Bambie Thug please stand up? Is it the one onstage dressed like the Devil, wearing stripper boots and a long goatee, smothered in red paint? The one naked apart from glitter in the X-rated video for their 2021 debut single, Birthday? The ouija-pop necromancer who appeared at last year’s Eurovision, performing a televised ‘exorcism’ while decked out in raven feathers, and bagging sixth place for their native Ireland? Or maybe it’s the one that’s been casting a spell over Europe on their recent Crown The Witch tour, donning glittering outfits and ornate gothic headpieces as they rule over their smoky, musical séances?
“I hope you don’t mind,” laughs Bambie today, as they turn up at their PR’s London offices wearing nothing more outlandish than a rhinestone trackie, and promptly kick off their chunky New Rock boots before plonking down onto the nearest sofa.
