Echobelly: Let's Get It On
Everett True, Melody Maker, 30 September 1995
Read this, it's great! ECHOBELLY, who are Number Three at the time of going to press with their new album, On, have a habit of being a bit... earnest. But not here – oh no! EVERETT TRUE confronts SONYA AURORA MADAN about that schoolgirl uniform, then gets her to open up about her sex fantasies, her failed search for love, her fondness for gay bars, her hatred of geek critics, her desire to be spanked (yes!) and how she was unpopular at school.
