Biography:
I am Ste McCabe. I play political queer-feminist pop-punk music around the UK with cheap drum machines and a pink guitar. Playing around the DIY music scene over the last three years has really opened my eyes to some fantastic bands who I am more than aware will never get a mention in the mainstream music scene, either because of their politics, their different approach to making music, their female presence, queer gobs or downright originality. I am particularly passionate about music made by women and queer people (by queer I mean anyone not identifying as the sexual "norm", which let's face it, we don't hear much of on the average radio station), sometimes for political reasons but mostly because it makes me tick and gives me a genuine buzz to hear anything other than the bland pathetic boys constantly hailed as the "next big thing" when frankly they sound exactly the same as the last big thing. Musically, pop, punk, lo-fi weird stuff and electro really get me going.
Basically I am interested in playing music from today or from the past that is underrated, has something to say be it important or even a bit ludicrous, leftist, feminist, queer positive, or truly different. Message me if your music fits this description or you know of anything that might have been overlooked from the past that does, I'm very interested in given forgotten heroes a plug as well as underground heroes, but be warned I will probably talk a lot of crap along the way and get very much distracted by silly thoughts popping into my head during each show!
