321 : PENS If you've been to a gig in London this week then you have probably seen PENS. Our new favourite all-girl lo-fi garage pop has been spreading fun and awesomeness throughout the capital, supporting the likes of Telepathe and Jay Reatard. After the jump Amelia from the band talks to us about swans, eyelash tinting and Sexual Harrassment. PENS - High In The Cinema [mp3] [Buy] 3 FACTS Amelia Braekke-Dyer: "A pen is a female swan. There is more water in Loch Ness than in all the lakes in Britain put together. Eyelash tinting is illegal in some states in America." 2 SONGS ABD: "If I Gave You A Party by Sexual Harassment - We love this song because it gets us in the mood for partying, it also has a killer bassline, amazing lyrics and includes an ACTUAL party." Sexual Harrassment - If I Gave You A Party [mp3] "Sugar Hiccup by Cocteau Twins - We were listening to this songs allll the time around the time we made Pens.
