After a busy summer of performing at Glastonbury, Reading and Leeds Festivals, Green Man, End Of The Road, and supporting Amyl and the Sniffers around the US, Lambrini Girls are not slowing down. Today, the two-piece have released a new single called ‘Company Culture’ and have also announced a huge EU/UK tour for next year.
Speaking on the track, the band explain the theme, describing
Tired of working twice as hard while white, middle-aged men get credit for your ideas? Afraid to report harassment? Constantly second-guessing to avoid conflict? If you’ve answered yes: you’re probably a woman or a queer person. If these challenges hold you back, it’s entirely your fault. And if you succeed, you’ll feel like a fraud. No matter how hard you work, you won’t be taken seriously. Your boss wants to shag you, HR thinks you’re hysterical—so maybe just shut the fuck up and smile. Many girls would kill for your position, stop complaining or it’s back to the kitchen. Welcome to the boys’ club.
Comprised of Phoebe Lunny and Lilly Macieira, the duo’s latest singles ‘God’s Country’ and ‘Body Of Mine’ have been playlisted by BBC6 Music and have earned them support from the likes of BBC Radio 1, NME, and Variety. The band have also covered Kerrang! Magazine alongside Sleater-Kinney, bagged a nomination for Rolling Stone UK’s Rising Stars Award, and even Iggy Pop is on board.
Known for their remarkable live performances, which have garnered them a dedicated following, Lambrini Girls have today also announced upcoming live dates for Europe and the UK taking place next year. Tickets will be available for purchase starting at 10am on Friday, September 20th*.

‘Body Of Mine’ out now
The new track follows on from previous single, ‘Body Of Mine’. Of the track, Lambrini Girls state:
While many of our songs are critiques of societal issues, Body of Mine is a little more personal’, continuing, ‘This song is about trying to connect to your gender identity, feeling like you’re not fully yourself, and struggling to figure out how to truly become it. Gender is a complex experience, we acknowledge that this song represents just one perspective among many, of not knowing where you fit inside it all. It’s tough to feel that nobody really gets you and it’s also truly quite shit when you don’t know how to understand yourself either.
Lambrini Girls have quickly climbed the ranks in their scene. From appearing on the cover of Kerrang! alongside Sleater-Kinney to receiving praise from BBC Radio 1 and NME, as well as being nominated for Rolling Stone UK’s Rising Stars Award. Not to mention, the band have also become Iggy Pop’s new favourite band.
Limited to a run of 700, this Friday will witness the release of a purple 7” vinyl, the exclusive release will feature the recent track ‘God’s Country’ along with ‘Body Of Mine’, recorded with Daniel Fox from Gilla Band.
Lambrini Girls are set to deliver their largest headline performance at SCALA in London on 13th June, where CLT DRP and Sulk will support them. The band is also gearing up for their debut in the United States this summer, where they will be supporting Amyl & The Sniffers, alongside their headline tour. Lambrini Girls have been confirmed to perform at various festivals including Wide Awake, 2000 Trees, Reading & Leeds Festivals, Green Man, Manchester Psych Fest, and Glastonbury Festival. Furthermore, they will be joining IDLES for their sold-out Alexandra Palace shows.
The new track follows on from the success of their debut EP, You’re Welcome, and recent single, ‘God’s Country’. The band explains that the track is a call-out to the UK’s shambles of a government:
‘God’s Country is our long, overdue call-out of the government and rise of the far right. We wrote this a few months back when the political landscape had reached a global boiling point. Great Britain. Think colonial, shit-hole, chunk of land. Thriving off unhinged nationalism, fed to us by the right red hand of unelected prime ministers. Despite this, we dare to call our country ‘Great’. So we ask you, ‘Are you sure?’
They continue, ’We could deep dive into inspirations and influences- but the songs about politics, not us. We hope the song speaks for itself. Rishi, Cameron, Cummings, Starmer – you’re all on our shit list.”
Already the two-piece have made a name for themselves with their unforgettable live performances, and fresh from setting the Moth Club quite literally on fire, they have today announced their biggest headline show to date, taking place at SCALA on June 13th.
Next month, the band are set to head to the States for the first time, performing at SXSW, and summer will see Lambrini Girls hit Wide Awake, YNot?, 2000 Trees, Reading and Leeds, and Manchester Psych Fest, and more.
