And music from…

Betty and the Werewolves

Awooo! The perfect band for a Halloween Happening, the wonderful Werewolves join us fresh from the success of ‘David Cassidy’ their second single on cult indie label Damaged Goods. For the uninitiated they are three girls and one boy from London who whoop and howl through the night as sweetly sung melodies collide with glitter-struck punk guitars.
