Whilst Beth Ditto wears only her bra and underwear for the majority of the show, Gossip deliver a lively and powerful show with meaning
We’re just a song-and-a-half into the Gossip’s headline set at Victoria Warehouse on Friday night and frontwoman Beth Ditto has already stripped down to her bra and underwear after waltzing onto the stage in a shimmering pink skirt. “I’m not trying to be subversive,” she tells the packed out BBC Radio 6 Music Festival crowd. “I’m really not. I'm just trying to be comfortable.”
The three-piece are also joined by Beth’s fiance Ted Kwo, who takes on the role of touring bassist. Throughout the show, Beth breaks in-between each number to recall a story or two - one moment sees her share fondness for Stoke-on-Trent while later on, knowing the show is being broadcast on BBC Radio 6, she bluntly asks: “Can you say pubic hair on the radio?”. She does it anyway.
And for those wondering if Beth’s vocals still stand the test of time - you can be safe in the knowledge that they absolutely do. Her soulful powerhouse vocals are rough-around-the-edges yet smooth like honey at the same time. They can go from bellowing out numbers like Listen Up to doing an impromptu cover track of Dolly Parton’s 9 To 5. And when she forgets the words to another track, she wears the error confidently on her sleeve as she says: “This is real.
To absolutely no surprise, Standing In The Way Of Control is kept until last and it is the song that, quite rightly, makes the most noise. Written in response to the Federal Marriage Amendment in 2004 which, if approved, would have outlawed same-sex marriage In America, the song is laced with power and anger. Thankfully, despite its endorsement by President George Bush at the time, the bill never made it out of the US committee.
