Bitch Falcon: super furious animals | Electric Picnic

A set that is beefy, brilliant and unforgiving in its forcefulness

There are few rock guitarists in Ireland who play with as much fury and energy as Lizzie from Bitch Falcon, and for a short while the serenity of Body & Soul has its foundations shook to the core with this three piece’s fervour. This stage has always given local acts a good push, and a curious crowd gathers to check out the buzz and don’t need much encouragement to get into it. The set is both beefy and brilliant, unforgiving in its forcefulness, with Loah added as a special guest. You can imagine at least some of these tunes with the right production as rock epics. But it’s the musicianship and sense of potential that’s most captivating. Whatever it is, Bitch Falcon have it.

In three words: kicking f***ing ass
