Ste McCabe / Mayr - 7“

STE MCCABE (Edinburgh) Queer-feminist one-man electro punk band

Ste McCabe is an electro-pop-punk one-man-band from the UK who started performing in 2006, using only a drum machine, electric guitar, synth samples and a very loud voice! Ste sings about serious topics such as homophobia, abuse and classism but always with a lot of fun, energy and humour. In the last year Ste has performed in over 15 countries and has appeared everywhere from punk squats and DIY queer festivals to Glastonbury, where he performed onstage alongside legend Billy Bragg.

“At heart, McCabe is a brightly coloured pop-punk artist who gets better with each release” - Artrocker Magazine

"Ste McCabe is angry, hilarious and brilliant. Most importantly, he gives a shit. It’s time you started to give a shit about him too." - The Line of Best Fit

"This is that particular brand of electro synth DIY punk, which reminds you that our differences can be celebrated without any sort of conformance whatsoever." - GT Magazine

MAYR (Vienna) Queer-feminist one-mayr electro punk band

MAYR is the solo project of Viennese musician Birgit Michlmayr. MAYR is working with guitar, synthesizer, violin, effect pedals and loops to produce songs which sound like punk rock, chanson or both (and sometimes smell like cat). This 7inch-split is Mayr's first release and comes in anticipation of a full album, which is due in 2014. Birgit Michlmayr also drums and sings for Viennese queer-kitsch-Schweinerockjazzpunk-band FIRST FATAL KISS, plays violin and bass in the noise/impro band Mutt/Mayr/Hackl and participates as a singer and performer in the performance-group NINCOMPOOP.
