Lolita Storm was a digital hardcore band from the UK consisting of Nhung Napalm, Romy Medina, Jimmy Too-Bad, and Spex.[2]
Its main characteristics are chanted punk lyrics about sex, celebrity hatred, drugs, and feminism.[3] All are presented in a comical rather than deeply political form, backdrops of generally highly aggressive breakbeat. In their own words:
On the Rabid Badger label, they released their single debut, "Goodbye America" / "Get Back I'm Evil," in 1999. NME subsequently made this their "Single of the Week."
In 2000 they released "G.F.S.U." (an acronym for "Girls Fucking Shit Up"), their best-known work to date and only album, on the feminist "Fatal" sub-label on Digital Hardcore Recordings (abbreviated as DHR).[4] Followed by two singles from the album: "Red Hot Riding Hood" and "Hot Lips Wet Pants." In August 1999 and June 2000, the band participated in two John Peel sessions.[5] [6]
Lolita Storm's last recording on DHR label was an EP, "Sick Slits," in 2001. The next single, "Studio 666 Smack Addict Commandos" / "I am Your Enemy," was released on 555 Recordings. They also self-released a single, "Dancing With The Ibiza Dogs," in 2004, after which the band disbanded.
Lolita Storm reunited in 2006 to record a song "Stranger Than Kindness" for a Nick Cave tribute album. Their song "Red Hot Riding Hood" from "G.F.S.U." album is in the club scene in 2017s Workin' Moms TV series - season 1, episode 8, "Hoop Earring."[7]
After the split, Nhung Napalm (real name, Nhung Dang) later became a qualified counselor, hypnotherapist, and regression therapist.[8]
