about

VENUS GRRRLS return from hiatus after lead singer GK's recovery from Leukaemia, presenting a brand new single ‘Lidocaine’. Gritty, unfaltering, and elegant, the band make for a powerful rebirth in a new era of a chilling and unrestrained demeanour.

Speaking on Lidocaine, lead singer GK says:

‘Lidocaine, a local anaesthetic, is used as a numbing agent during bone marrow biopsies to check for bone marrow diseases and cancers such as Leukaemia. Now in remission, I reflect on the lasting damage of cancer and begin to process the gritty and complex repercussions; including the small, seemingly insignificant factors that helped me along the way. ‘Lidocaine’ is a metaphor for this, as not only was it used as an attempt to numb my pain during a gruelling procedure, but it symbolises all attempts of this in a mental and spiritual manner, too. Getting through the day is a win in itself, even if it meant I stayed in bed all day, that was the Lidocaine I needed to get me through it.’


The band are also actively encouraging people to join the Anthony Nolan stem cell register following on from GK’s experience. They further comment:

“Due to GK’s journey, we’d like to take this opportunity to encourage you to join the stem cell register. Some people who get diagnosed with Leukaemia need a stem cell transplant to prevent disease from returning, and you could be that person and save a life. It’s quick and easy to sign up, visit www.anthonynolan.org for all the details.”

lyrics

I feel you in my veins
As you take away my pain
The numbness permeates
And my useless body waits now

Mask the way I feel
Ask me and I'll kneel
Right the wrong, reap the strong
My heart you steal, my heart you steal
Ask me and I'll kneel
My heart you steal

It's you my Lidocaine baby
It's true my ride or die baby
It's you

Breathing seldom sails
Or digging in my nails
Now I just lay still
Consumed by your full heal

Mask the way I feel
Ask me and I'll kneel
Right the wrong, reap the strong
My heart you steal, my heart you steal
Ask me and I'll kneel
My heart you steal

It's you my Lidocaine baby
It's true my ride or die baby
It's you
I'm scarred, I'm battered, and I'm bruised
Holding together just by you
By you
