Megan Black
Ever since the release of her debut single ’Fur Coat Queen’ in 2019, Megan’s highly personal songwriting has offered a powerful exploration of sexuality and gender conventions. The track is deeply autobiographical, drawing on her lived experience of coming out to friends and family and hitting back at societal prejudices and ingrained biases around bisexuality. Now, ’Deadly Is The Woman’ expands on Megan’s unapologetic vision, incorporating vintage-inspired sounds from blues, rock and jazz with sharp lyricism that reflects her own experiences of navigating the social and political spectrums in which she currently finds herself. With the kind of gritty, alluring vocal ability that recalls icons like Stevie Nicks and Alannah Myles, themes of gender, sexuality and mental health underpin the album, creating a powerful sonic bridge between her 70s-influenced sound and contemporary views on feminism and the LGBTQ+ community.
Full Fat Band
The line-up consists of Fraser McKain on electric guitar and lead vocals, Fraser Urquhart on bass guitar and backing vocals and Simon Rattray on drums. The group is a melting pot of influences and styles; Whether it be the blazing Stevie Ray inspired blues riffs from Fraser M, Fraser U’s frenzied funk bass a la Joe Dart or Simon’s country rhythms fit for Cash himself, their music will be pumping through your veins and into your heart and soul. They have a passion and a talent that will not be stopped and this is clear to anyone who sees them play. Pre-pandemic the band were going from strength to strength. After their European “In the Dark” tour promoting their latest EP of the same name, they sold-out a tent at the Edinburgh Jazz and Blues Festival, secured a headline gig at the Glasgow O2 and this then paved the way for their first London gig which would have capped their 2020 Winter/ Spring tour. This tour however was cut short like so many others due to Covid19.
