A tour booked and an album due to be released. P3dro: Looking at your website, you had quite big plans for last year. I think I’ve seen Tobias and Ben once each. And that’s pretty much the last time I saw those guys as well. It’s just about a year since our last full band gig. But, yeah, I’m really excited, hopefully for some form of normality towards the end of this year. I managed to get a couple of gigs in last summer, reduced cap and outside kind of thing. Otherwise, frustrating, boring and I just can’t wait to be able to play again to a room full of people without feeling anxious about it. So, things were good from that perspective. I’ve been quite lucky as I have a job outside music and I’ve kept that.
Katie: Up and down, which I think has been the same for a lot of people. Katie: Yeah, I’m in this room, where I have been spending a significant amount of time for the last year or so.
P3dro: Well, you’re not the only one, so cheers. I’ve been trying not to drink in the week during this lockdown. Katie: I am in my flat and having a well earned Friday beer. P3dro: Where are you and what are you doing?
In that regard, we gave Katie the chance to rethink and / or amend any of her responses where we spoke about equality issues. We should make it clear, this interview took place before the discovery of the remains of Sarah Everard in London and the events at the vigil on 13 March 2021. We caught up with Katie on Zoom for a chat. With two EPs now out there in the world as well as a follow-up single (including a b-side because well, why not), Katie and the band were scheming on the next steps – a UK tour in spring 2020 was planned, but, well, guess what? Covid put paid to the planned album release as well. Their raucous, energetic and thoughtful live set is not to be missed, from the all out punk of Apocalypse to the Clash-inspired Leather Jacket, with a sprinkling of political comment in-between: Brexit and break-ups go well together. The band (also called Katie MF, but they’re working on that, so they say) also embarked on their first tour to Scotland in support of second EP, Everything Trouble Meant. Together with her band, Tobias (drums) and Ben (bass), she’s been creating a groove and getting noticed. Her contagious, punch-the-air folk/punk has gone from strength to strength, including the mid-year highlight of supporting Frank Turner at his No Man’s Land album release show. With two powerful EPs and an album on the way, this was a band about which we wanted to know more.Ģ019 was a pretty awesome year for Londoner Katie MF.
Katie MF deliver a classy genre crossing punk / folk / country style of bar rock.
