Celebrating 20 years since their first EP, London’s favourite pop-and-roll band The Schla La Las are high-kicking their way back into your heart and onto your stereo after eighteen years away! Consisting of original line-up Piney Gir, George, Katrin, Vee and Delia, the band remain a vital force of high-octane energy, inspiring a new generation of girls to pick up a guitar, bass, or pair of drumsticks, grab a microphone and let out a rebel yell!
Having spent the early noughties dazzling crowds with their matching outfits, close harmonies and duelling guitars, the London based band have returned to win our hearts with the release of new single ‘1234’, a tune that shows off their punky, poppy, pounding sounds and sugar-sweet allure in all its glory. The release comes ahead of more celebratory releases to mark their debut’s 20th anniversary.
And now, accompanying the video, is a gorgeously cute, strangely empowering, lego-filled stop-motion video. Watch it for the first time below. In the band’s words:
“Yes, the rumours are true. ‘00s darlings The Schla La Las are back back BACK and high-kicking their way onto a sound bar near you. London’s favourite pop and roll girl gang waved goodbye from the main stage at Truck festival eighteen years ago after their debut EP twenty years ago, but they’ve picked up their guitars again. They were – and remain – a vital force of high-energy entertainment and, while your first born sons are probably safe these days, you might want to keep a close eye on your dad. And your mum. Their single ‘1234’ has been remastered and the video polished to cinematic standard by its creator Ben Cowell-Thomas, whose visual effects credits include the Fast & Furious franchise, Deadpool and Men in Black: International.”
Counting BBC 6Music’s Marc Riley and ‘00s legend Beth Ditto amongst their fans, The Schla La Las have played at numerous festivals, appeared in i-D Magazine alongside Florence Welch and Paloma Faith, and built a solid reputation across the UK for their joyous live shows. So, make sure you catch them back on stage on 15th November at Dream Bags Jaguar Shoes – it promises to be a memorable night! Tickets here.
‘1234’ is out now via No Distance Records.
