Jeanie and The White Boys are an underground rock band from London, UK known for their bold, punk-infused sound and theatrical performances emerging from the queer art and punk scenes.

Fronted by Jeanie Crystal who is energetic and charismatic performer, chatted to us after they supported Hot Wax’s show in Sheffield on Friday 6 February at Sidney and Matilda.

So, how did you feel about tonight’s show supporting HotWax?
Yeah, it was great! We have played here for a festival a few weeks ago, or maybe like a month ago, and we were in the afternoon, and that just felt right. Sheffield is always a good crowd, and I've got new musicians now, new white boys, so this tour is one of their first shows and they all did great. It was fresh and fun!

What were your favourite song to play tonight, would you say?
I’d say for tonight’s show, I really enjoyed ‘Boohoo Girls’, because that it’s one of my favourites. All the gays and the girls love that one! I love that one, and I really enjoyed playing ‘Psycho Killer’, which is more folky, it’s a hard one to get right but paid off tonight.

What are you planning for the next year? Anything big in the pipeline?
Okay, so we have an EP coming out, or maybe an album. I can't decide what I'm doing. I think it's likely to be an EP in June. So, there'll be more singles off that. We've got some that are a bit of a different vibe as I'm a product of, like, the guitar scene and the punk scene but also the rave scene and I think both talk to each other. I've got a load of mates that who operate in that world, so, we've got some really good remixes coming out of our first two singles, ‘Creepy and Indigo Blues’, but the main to finish this record and get it out.

Do you have any festivals coming up after this supporting tour?
We have one in Liverpool this spring which is called ‘So Long, Good Friday’ at Baltic Triangle on Friday 3 April.

Do you think you've got a goal that you want to reach by the end of this year?
The record is our main goal, just to get this wrapped up and finished. However, I feel like we're building, a really nice kind of fan base, the people that are coming to our shows. It’s cross generational. It’s a mix of people that come to see us and that’s really important to me and people can feel like our music is for everyone. Everyone that gets it!
