The SS Workout "SWEAT WITH PYRAMIDDD/STARFUCKER"


Formly known as seducers of the cosmic variety, Starfuckers they have transformed (as of two month ago) to a less arrogant spell-check inducing title Pyramiddd. So at Camden's Flowerpot venue, after delays all round, (thank you "medical emergency" on Northern line), I bopped to the US wonders on their first ever tour in the UK.

A lot like Daft Punk on steroids, the lazer popping, sweat band wearing act were just so darn athletic, all I wanted to do was strip, don my trusty sports-bra and spandex leggings combo and start a workout there an' then (ugh, if only I didn't have that little remaining self-respect left). But Pyramiddd really have some serious moves to get in shape to, so I got my tinkering brain to work and compiled wicked workout inspired by Pyramiddd's energetic show. NOW, GET YOUR SWEAT ON!

"The Schizophrenic" (WARM UP):
Find your inner calm....then listen to the voices in your head...now you are ready!

"The Keyboard Thrust"
Get those digits in keyboard playing form, stick your arms out moving up and down, then in a repressed sexual motion, move your pelvis in and out at the same time. Repeat 8x

"The Assaulting Air Guitar"
Hold your imaginary guitar, now swing left to right like you've never swung before! But remember not to go all the way round, that's just showing off...Repeat 10x

"The Distorted Yelp"
For those who don't have a voice-altering microphone, smack both hands over your mouth and scream, shout or sing. The result? To sound like a kitty being thrown at the electronic fan.Yes please. Repeat 6x

"The Pouncing Power-Walk"
Not just running on the spot, your arms have a to flail about out-of-time with your legs in a power-walking pose, then, if you are feeling super ballsy, pounce on fellows in the street and stare them out until they join in too!

"The Cyndi Lauper" (WARM DOWN)
Breathe, Stretch your ears, point your left arm to the sky, and shriek "Girls Just Want To Have Fun". Then sway side to side, left foot touching right, and then vice versa. Warning: You will experience a teenage flashback in the process...



Now go get physical and check out their last remaining gigs!
