Rock chic: Model Alice Dellal arrives at the 1234 Shoreditch Festival carrying a bag containing her cymbals and drum sticks before the jaw-dropping performance


It's a tried and tested method of attracting fans straight out of the textbook of rock rules.

Take off your top and play your heart out - and that's exactly what former Agent Provocateur model Alice Dellal did when performing at a small festival.

The catwalk star was drumming for her dubiously-named band Thrush Metal, an all-girl fashion-based group set up earlier this year.

The band were appearing at London's 1234 Shoreditch Festival, a one-day event featuring a number of minor acts.


During their set the band - which also features fellow models Isabella Ramsey, Emma Chitty and Laura Fraser attempted a number of stunts to attract a crowd.

Brazillian Dellal arrived at the festival wearing a pink and blue dress, black fishnet tights with her trademark blonde undercut hair.

Carrying her sticks, the drummer made her way to the stage but decided to strip off during the performance to reveal a black and red lace bra.

However, the outrageous performance did not go down well with all music lovers at the event.

One male festival goer said: 'She was very sweaty and wasn't very good at the drums. The band made a lot of mistakes.'

In another more bizarre attempt to get a rise out of onlookers, Dellal was also seen wielding a huge five-foot pink phallus made out of papier mache.

The festival also featured former Primal Scream frontman Bobby Gillespie who unveiled his new rock supergroup The Silver Machine.

Thrush Metal is set to release it first EP 'at the end of this summer' according to its explicit MySpace website.

It urges fans to 'fight for the right to party' and also sells T-shirts for £10.
