Meet Lucy Log

Sally Wagoony takes tea with a new pop sensation.

You’ve probably never heard of Lucy Log, nor her techno-trance-dance-ska-punk-mutant pop group Nautical Themed Clothing, but with new single 'I Want to Touch Certain Parts of You' about to be unleashed on Radio 1’s A list, the chances are YOU SOON WILL. I joined Lucy in the kitchen of her swanky new East London digs.

“I’m not used to this at all” she remarks whilst swinging a vodka bottle around her immaculate newly fitted open-planned chrome-a-tosed dining-kitchen-pantry. And she’s not just referring to the piles of money that line the hall way. For since moving to London five years ago Lucy has not had a place of her own, but spent her life squatting in un-occupied buildings as part of the political and artist group slash movement known as Actival.

“People think it’s all partying and drugs but we put on vegan barbecues and that for crackheads and that, and we don’t just squat, we do the buildings up as well. I like painting stars on the walls and ceilings”. The group’s activities have even come to the attention of local MP Brian Ryan Lions who said in a recent interview “We don’t approve of their tendency to hold all night drug infused orgiastic raves in residential areas, though we do approve of their low emissions policy.”

But Lucy’s ambition stretches beyond the bounds of East London. “I want to bring the whole world together - Christians, Muslims and normal people. I want to bring them all together under my music. That is what “I want to touch” is about. It’s about coming together for the environments sake, for all our sakes. I want to go on tour in Iraq and Afghanistan and Pakistan and Zimbabwe and Haiti and North Korea. I want everyone to dance and forget about their troubles.”

Unfortunately it seems that for the time being this dream is unlikely to be realised, however the band will be supporting Miley Cyrus on a tour of the US next month.
'I Want to Touch Certain Parts of You' is released next week on Time Warner in conjunction with Viacom and BAE Systems.
Peace out.
