I recently interviewed Serra Petale and Nic Crawshaw from Los Bitchos about the second album Talkie Talkie, which came out in August. Currently on tour in support of the album, they will be playing Margate Lido on 2 Nov.

They were a real joy to speak to and we had a great conversation about the founding of the band and how their music has developed both since they started and the release of their debut album.

“It really just comes from the type of production that I like to listen to,” says Serra. “I like reverby sound, I like a chorus guitar, I like busy-ass basslines and I love percussion. It was never a decision, it was just a happy accident. But of course the sound is always evolving because we're all so different.”

Nic - herself previously a member of various hardcore punk bands - adds that each member’s different experience means that “you each have your own style” that feeds into an overall sound “without thinking about it.”
