I, Doris – Beach Body Ready
Menopausecore sheroes I, Doris are back with a sun-drenched new double single: a body-positive garage-surf anthem released in not one but two versions — English, and (inexplicably) en français. This joyous ode is here to remind us all that “tout le monde est prêt pour la plage!”
Speaking about the new releases, the band said:
“We wanted to make a song that reminds everyone their body is already beach-ready — no crash diets, no filters, just you and your fabulous self. And why French? Because everything sounds cooler in French… even cellulite.”
A glorious video, shot this summer on the beach and punk festival stages of Blackpool by Mark Cartwright, captures the track’s playful spirit, complete with bold swimwear, cheeky choreography, and a cameo from Hull’s rising riot grrrl teen sensations WENCH!
I, Doris are also heading off on something of a world tour, with dates confirmed for Sydney (7 Dec) and Melbourne (14 Dec) — swimsuit packing essential.
Before crossing hemispheres, UK fans can catch them live this autumn:
- 4 October – The Lexington, London (LOUD WOMEN 10th Birthday Party with Yakkie)
- 11 October – Sound Lounge, Sutton (supporting Chris Difford of Squeeze)
- 21 November – The Cavendish Arms, Stockwell (with Fast Blood and Honey Joy)
