The 2 sisters are
an internationally recognized band touring consistently 8 months of
the year. Fierce and feisty delivering songs from the heart The Soap
Girls are a modern day phenomena. Millie and Mie are sisters that
shoot from the hip lyrically, daring to broach subjects from personal
experience in a way that is both refreshing and unique. The French
born South Africans are self claimed society’s rejects that have
earned themselves a reputation for their strong message of artistic
freedom and their fight for passionate causes namely animal and human
rights and their strong anti government/political stance.
Followed by globally by their ever
growing cult following known as their ‘Soap Suds fans the band
recently completed a highly successful European tour as well as
performing continuously within the UK during 2018 Their punk
credentials were rubber stamped by scintillating performances at the
legendary Rebellion festival where they played to hugely enthusiastic
crowds. Such was their success that they were asked back to play the
Blackpool event again in 2018.
Fighting prejudice and haters with a
sword of honesty and a shield of integrity The Soap Girls have
endured much but have always risen above those that have sought to
derail them. The girls shine during their mesmerising live
performances putting inclusivity and freedom of expression at the
core of each show. They are keen to show that music should be for
everyone and everyone should be free to be themselves.
They started their career in Cape Town
performing as street artists for eight years – “We have been The
SoapGirls since we were 8 and 9 selling hand made soap and street
performing for various causes, we did this 365 days of the year for 9
years”. At twelve and thirteen they began their recording career
and signed to Universal Records releasing their debut album in 2011
which topped the domestic charts.
South Africa was just a stepping stone
and soon the girls were performing in the US and then the UK and
Europe. They played their first UK tour in 2015 in a country that
was to instantly fall in love with their music. That same year they
released their first independent album ‘Calls For Rebellion’ with
one critic catching the mood of the band by calling it “Raw,
catchy, anarchistic Rock and Roll.”
Guitarist Mie is a big fan of Fleetwood
Mac, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Heart, Nirvana, The Butthole
Surfers and R.E.M. She loves laid back vibes and melody.
Bass player Millie is a fan of heavier
music from acts like Alice in Chains, Marilyn Manson, The Smashing
Pumpkins, Korn, Alanis Morrissette, Hole, Aretha Franklin, Nirvana,
Napalm Death and L7.
Both Millie and Mie swap vocal duties
giving them scope to show their individual nature in a way that adds
to The Soap Girls dynamic. Their common ground is grunge but their
ethic is punk. What’s in a genre anyway? It’s all music at the
end of the day.

consummate professionals, playing great original songs to an
appreciative audience and treating everyone with respect then The
Soap Girls must be at the front of the pack.” – Devolution
Magazine
“Fantastically varied, hugely
enjoyable and brilliantly catchy” – Belfast Metalheads
“Proof that sistas are doing it for
themselves” – Uber Rock
“They kick arse while they laugh.
Fantastic” – Fighting Boredom
