Dance Bastards

About Me

Amy and Kate have known each other for years. Previously rivals on the East Yorkshire Junior Disco Dancing championship circuit, they decided to bury the hatchet and form a rock 'n' roll band called Miss Curie Law. When they were forced to part due to musical differences and a reoccurring penchant for Battenburg, cherryade and Peter Levy, the Hull music scene found itself devoid of irony, hotpants and schoolgirl rhymes. That is until now.
