THERE are four female school friends from Paris, who create chunky riffs, and new wave pop tunes.

Single Bitch is a slice of pure, unadulterated pleasure, a protest song against people who said Plastiscines were just a rich girls band.

Ironic then that the single should have its world premier on the cult, hair pulling, and boyfriend stealing hit American TV series Gossip Girl.

While they give it their best shot, the music isn’t interesting enough to grab your attention.
