Dj kitty jump12/24/2022 ![]() ![]() I Wanna Jump Like Dee Dee is a music podcast that does music interviews differently. The lead singer of the Belle Stars was, of course, Jennie Matthias and it's a true honour to talk with someone who has, in the words of her debut book, experienced pain and grown through adversity about how her mindset has guided her through her life.

They toured a lot, headlining and also supporting The Clash, the Police, Madness, Stray Cats. They looked and sounded fantastic, wearing fabulous clothes (mine extended to a second hand combat jacket and DMs with not enough holes) and their music fused a whole host of sounds and influences that I, as a narrow minded punk rock hardcore kid, found fascinating and exciting. They formed in 1980 when The Bodysnatchers disbanded. The Belle Stars were part of that identity searching.

I was always drawn to the non-conformers, even though I conformed in many ways.
