Here they headlined every Monday night, with other acts including Gem and Nizlopi Famous actors/models and other UK acts and bands would come to see them perform.resident geniuses who take your spirit in the palm of their gifted hands and lift it up out of the daily grey in a single, benevolent act of acoustic salvation Christopher Peyton (founder of Monday nights at Kabaret, Woodies and Boujis)Playing live is really the most important thing for us, as you get the immediate feedback and support from the crowd.

Sounds Like: Bellissima, a husband and wife duo, Belles a tiny blonde and Richards a self effacing guitarist. That, however is where the confusion ends! One second in, Madames exposed as a shockingly strong, diaphragm-driven Joplin ablaze with raw-snatch raunchiness! Its an instant reaffirmation of the blood, guts and sheer spunk of rock and two minutes in, Im speechless; its like being serenaded by Patti Smith in a glorious S&M session!Sasha Selavie for QX magazine
