“I am a huge fan of their playing and musicality.”Cerys Matthews, BBC Radio 6.

“There is definitely a correlation between CHEWY SHE and David Bowie By being an artist that keeps pushing herself, exploring, testing, and learning different forms of art. ” Cerys Matthews, BBC Radio 6.

“To me, it’s more of a performance art piece with banging tunes mixed in.'“ LOUD WOMN review

" weird and wonderful " Jess Iszatt, BBC London


CHEWY SHE is an electro-disco-punk band from London, blending glittery disco grooves with punk rock energy.

Known for wild, immersive live shows that mix humor, absurdity, and feminist themes, their performances feel like a chaotic, campy fairytale where the audience is part of the action.

With sold-out shows and support from BBC Radio 6's Cerys Matthews, they’ve toured the UK , challenging norms and making you dance, while questioning everything—all with a wink and a killer outfit.

the MOTH POPERA

With the reckless spirit of punk combined with a disco groove, this piece of avant-garde musical theatre is an existential fairytale about human insects on a spiritual quest.

A feminist search for mind-blowing sex without emotional ties, questioning the social norms around relationships, embracing the surreal, and metamorphosis while acknowledging the fundamental need for love. A show for all the sex-positive men and womxn of today who follow their own desires, f*ck the patriarchy and look for their own ecstasy.

The show is brought together by a team of female creatives, giving a platform to supreme musicianship, physical theatre, deliberately awkward comedy, and innovative visuals. The result is a show that will titillate even the most impenetrable soul - to laugh, to dance, to question, to share, and perhaps even be a little aroused.

HOW IT ALL BEGAN

The band’s formation began auspiciously, with a premonition, as told by  bandleader CHEWY: 

“I had a dream that I was in David Lynch club and he said to me ‘I’ve got  something for you...’ Incredibly frustratingly, I woke up before he could tell me. The very next day, I was in a car with a couple of friends who told me  they would be playing at David Lynch‘s club a few weeks later, and needed  an opening act...” 

This uncanny synchronicity proved the inspiration for a new and electrifying musical shift.
