UTIs, dating red flags and wardrobe malfunctions aren’t just cautionary tales but the inspiration for new performance art meets punk-rock six-piece Twat Union. Following in the feminist footsteps of riot grrrl forebears such as Bikini Kill, the all-female British band have built up a grassroots fanbase around London thanks to their blistering live shows skewering the letdowns and joys of life as women.
With members from the Isle of Wight, Wales and London, Twat Union first met in a house-share in south London at the tail end of lockdown. They were united by their need to find a living space that could also accommodate their instruments, so the house soon became a natural jam space where they began playing their tongue-in-cheek tunes live.
