Soaked in sin, fueled by gin and on their way to high tea with the devil, Mama Red & the Dark Blues bring to the stage a wicked elegance which resurrects the most decadent and dangerous eras of our time. Mama Red presides over a mutinous crew of Perth's meanest musicians who take their influences from the best of the retro and relic. Notionally ‘Alt-Country-Pop with a hint of gospel’, but traversing genres and refusing to be stylistically confined, Mama Red’s eclecticism and originality is part of her charm. She harks right back to the earliest bawdy blues, sinks into soulful R&B via the hallowed halls of country, belts out dangerous jump blues and then gives a slightly ironic nod to modern pop – all within one hour and across one cleverly coherent album. Mama Red is a truly versatile performer. With a set of lungs that can simply blow the speakers, a posse of badass instrumentalists and some seriously sexy harmonies behind her – Mama Red & the Dark Blues deserve your undivided
