UK alt-rock band Bastette share their brand new single ‘Good Time Girl’, out on 1st July. A song celebrating diversity, ‘Good Time Girl’ is an anthem for womxn, the yee-haw gays, the QPOC community, and everyone in between. Featuring pole princess Kitty Velour and drag icon Liquorice Black, the music video was shot in the Northern Quarter of Manchester and showcases people from diverse backgrounds embracing who they really are.

Recorded at the Lounge Wigan with Gaz Nuttall, the band laid down an electrifying guitar riff and the song effortlessly came together to create a mashup of old Guns n Roses with a punky upbeat chorus. Written for womxn and the LGBTQ+ community, this track doesn’t hold back; it is bold and punchy just like the communities it champions. 

Speaking of the track, Caroline says, “‘Good Time Girl’ is about taking control of your own desires. It has always been the case that womxn have been objectified in society and those who are different are made to feel like they don’t belong and belittled. ‘Good Time Girl’ is about owning your sexuality, wearing what you want to wear, choosing the career you want to choose and being who you truly are not trying to cater to other people’s needs or dim your shine because they deem it to be too bright.

Don’t let others dictate who you can or can’t be. Sometimes, you have to fight your way through hard times to come out in a better place and to truly understand who you are.  I have included some of my friends in the video. Out of all the people I have met throughout my life, the friends I have made through the community are the only people who have embraced me for who I am… Flaws and all. 
People within the LGBTQ+ community have had to fight to be seen and heard in a society that doesn’t accept differences. I too have felt like an outcast over the years and to find a group that accepts and embraces you is something that should not be taken for granted.”

Bastette was formed in early 2019 and is the brainchild of singer-songwriter Caroline Eve Kenyon. Delivering modern alternative Rock and drawing inspiration from the likes of Halestorm, The Pretty Reckless, Starbenders and Lady Gaga, Caroline’s powerful vocal is reminiscent of Florence and The Machine and unapologetically delivers her music with swagger and panache.
