MySpace Trawl – Ping Pong Bitches
Then buzz it up

At a time when the music scene is seemingly dominated by so called girls with 'attitude' like Lily Allen and Kate Nash we strongly disagree. All they seem to do is complain that their ex-boyfriends are twats and no-one takes them seriously.
What a shame, we are almost compelled to get out our violins and attempt to scratch out a tune of sorrow. The popularity of the 'mockney' genre is almost a joke in itself, there’s nothing mega exciting going on. The only difference is that they're not dolled up and told to look sickly-sweet for men to perv over.
So where have all the female musicians gone? Well the older generation seems to be still knocking out bland easy-listening records, and Leona Lewis is only doing so well because of her competition win, otherwise she’d be dishing up batter on your chips on a Friday night. We want to find some women with a no-holds barred attitude and a group that oozes appeal. Having a cool band name also helps and Ping Pong Bitches prove this.
Fusing together a mix of rock, electro and hip hop, the sound generated is seriously fucking cool and will confuse the indie-scene kid as they won’t know what the hell this is. Fans of The Prodigy will have heard Ping Pong Bitches before, as they appear on a few tracks on their last album.
We aren’t really sure what genre these girls fit into, but the tracks on their MySpace page have everything from punishing rock anthems that piss over CSS’s funk-filled rhymes to the seductive kinky boots. Click, listen, enjoy.

It’s the men who’re the first to call out “perv” that’re typically the ones.
CSS is another pseudo-chick band whose fans are mostly white men with asian fetishes that can’t stop going on about how the lead vocalist is half japanese.
Whoodiewooooooo!
And it’s the ugly freaking ducks that’re first to call out “stalker” or “perv” - knowing full well they’re an eyefull of pain.
I don’t care if the band is a bunch of broads so long as they can make something worth listening to and do so unselfconsciously of the fact that they’ve got tits. *eyeroll*
