Hard House Heroine's Hell's Angels' Help

Lisa Lashes was once rescued from a nuisance neighbour by her local chapter of Hell's Angels, she told Skrufff this week, after making friends with the gang when her sister started dating a member.

"They helped me out once when I lived in Leicester, when some lady kept on picking on me," Lisa revealed.

We'd been having a neighbours' fight and I'd told my sister this woman was annoying me so one day all the Hell's Angels drove up and started revving their bikes up outside my house. Nothing more happened but the woman didn't say a word to me after that."

The incident happened almost ten years ago, just before Lisa became a DJ, and though her sister still goes out with her biker, Lisa insisted she'd never been tempted to do the same.

"They're too rough for me, though they're cool, and obviously I know quite a lot of them," she said.

"They're actually really nice people until somebody messes with them."

The Midlands based DJ also had kind words for the clubbers expected to flock to her London show (Lashed Live In London) spread across all five rooms of London Bridge's massive SE One club.

"I love playing in London because it's only been the last two years that I've been playing down there and it's great but it is a different crowd to the Midlands," she said.

"It's always an older crowd whenever I play in London and they also dress differently from people in the Midlands. They seem more down to Earth and a little more relaxed in London too, you can wear your trainers and your jeans and that's quite cool."
