Jeanie and the White Boys

If you’ve ever stumbled into a DIY venue, warehouse rave, or sticky-floored dive bar and found yourself hypnotised by a voice that sounded like Debbie Harry fronting a no wave circus, chances are you’ve met Jeanie Crystal or at least felt her energy in the room. As the frontwoman of Jeanie and the White Boys, Jeanie channels something both theatrical and visceral: a punk-glam cabaret of sound, sweat, satire and soul.

Her band is part raw noise, part performance art, and entirely unmissable. It’s no surprise they’ve become a cult favourite among London’s underground scenes, pulling from decades of outsider aesthetics and recharging them with queer fury and messy glamour. Think New York Dolls, think Nina Hagen, think Grace Jones doing punk karaoke in a drag dungeon, only louder.
