HUGGY BEAR
Huggy Bear was an English riot grrrl band, formed in 1991 in Brighton.
On February 14 1993, Huggy Bear performed "Her Jazz" on the TV show, The Word. After they played their fun, chaotic set, the band stayed in the studio to watch a report on 2 American models who called themselves "the Barbi Twins". Huggy Bear and their fans became upset at this and started shouting at the show's noticeably uncomfortable presenter Terry Christian. They were violently ejected from the studio and a spokesperson for The Word later said that one of the band's friends had "bit the face of a member of our production team." The performance was given a Melody Maker cover, the event being compared to the Sex Pistols Bill Grundy incident.
