From the now-defunct (since 2000) Melody Maker magazine 1994.

Review of Lush/Blessed Ethel gig (at the Leadmill Sheffield) by Dave Simpson. Apparently ol' Dave wasn't very impressed by Blessed Ethel and positively bored by Lush until someone in the crowd decided to chuck their pint in Miki's (lead singer) face and 'suddenly Miki is Spacek in "Carrie", her face contorted in evil', yeah, she went all angry punk badass. If you want 'the animal, magnetic, raw, sexy, evil, vindictive [some Nazi comparison]' Lush, Simpson suggests you should have your pint glass ready. (Full text version available here).

I bet it's fucking horrible having a cold pint chucked in your face, I reckon Miki didn't have much choice in being a bad girl. And that's how it works being a female musician isn't it? They want you to be bad and if you aren't bad they aren't happy and if they think they can get a rise out of you they will... and then you're Carrie, then you're the crazy bitch. 

Just hope a similar thing doesn't happen to the working-class-non-white-bad-girl closest to my heart when she plays at the Leadmill next month. Yeah I just drew a parallel between Miki Berenyi and Nadia Javed, so what?
