Track Of The Day: The Mo-Dettes - White Mice (Mode)


The Mo-dettes emerged around the time of the first mod revival, and therefore slotted nicely into a space that had been kept open for them since its start; ie: a sonic female presence amongst the testosterone anointed mohair suits They were anything but a mod band however. I suppose post-punk may be more accurate? In any case, I remember going to mod clubs around the time and everyone losing it to this track, in rather the same way that people turned up to the Sleaford Mods’ gigs wearing parkas.
