Lynks

By Elliot Brett’s own admission, Lynks began life as a comedy act. “I mean, I had a song called ‘How to Make a Béchamel Sauce in 10 Steps (With Pictures)’. I wasn't taking it too seriously.” It’s all the more remarkable, then, that he’s gone on to become one of queer pop’s most potent forces. Instantly recognisable thanks to his self-made costumes - that he’s described as making him a ‘masked drag monster’, while NME went for ‘alt-pop gimp’ - his taste for thumping beats, stylised dance numbers and lurid strobe lighting have made the Lynks live experience an unforgettable one, and marked him out as one of the scene’s most unfailingly entertaining performers.
