Sounds LikeMamas
Press

"Already banking radio play with this delicious modern take on sumery '70-tingled soul...(Mamas Gun) openly filters the multi-layered spirit of Stevie and Marvin through laer-day smooth sensualist such as D'Angelo or Maxwell...Think Mark Ronson without the smarm"

Uncut Magazine 4 OUT OF FIVE stars (August 08)


"Mamas Gun are to be commdended: it's pretty hard to reinvent the sweet, warm, groove filled - r'n'b of the 1970's with credibilty . Their trick is to sound like they've cherry picked the finest deatils of an eclectic record collection...This, together with frontman Andy Platts's winsome vocals and the outfits experimental instruments, means they've nailed some seriously crowd pleasing tunes"

The Metro 'One to watch' (August '08)


"One of the best things you can do on radio is play a good record, today someone bought this little gem into our studio, I played it and I thought well, it really doesn't get any better than this...(plays Pots Of Gold)...Can you believe that we get songs like this delivered into us?. How good is that song?....unbelievable!...contemporary, its just smacks of quality"

Chris Evans Drive-Time Show on BBC Radio 2
07.05.08


"Mamas Gun - a great new artist"

DJ Trevor Nelson on Radio 2


"Mamas Gun, led by über cool vocalist Andy Platts sound fabulous on record and go down a hoot live too!"

Steve Lamaq BBC Radio 1


"Mamas Gun tracks belong in an art gallery rather than on a piece of laser embedded plastic. One listen and you'll feel like real soul music and music with real soul has finally found its way home."

Greetings...we've been doing some radio interviews and sessions. You can watch / listen to all 3 of the songs we did at BBC Radio Solent recently by clicking HERE. Big gig in Stuttgart coming up as well as the ever-fantastic Secret Garden Party festival before we start heading into promoting the next single and the album!!!

22.06.09

OUR SINGLE IS OUT TODAY! Go to Itunes and type in Mamas Gun and you should find a link to "Single - Let's Find A Way".......Other news: We've been playing some absolutely KILLING gigs in France and Germany at Club Nouveau Casino and Wurzburg Draussen festival, respectively. The latter saw the 10,000 strong crowd chanting "Superbad-Superbad-Superbad" until they were furnished with an encore...looks like The Prof has his own fan club started too! Come July we're opening a stadium concert for The Fantastic4 in Germany and hitting the Secret Garden Party too. See you at our 30th June single launch(ish) gig next week! AP x

01.06.09

SO Summer's here then....and sunshine generally brings with it a healthy dose of lithium, good times and festivals! SO while new single Let's Find A Way starts hitting the airwaves (we've just made the BBC Radio2 playlist!), Summer will see your favourite incendiary live band busting a few moves on a few stages around the UK & Europe. This week we're in 2 big smokes: London & Paris with Laura Izibor....and don't forget our single release show on the 30th June in Hoxton, London!

17.04.09

SO IT"S ABOUT TO KICK OFF! Man it's been busy. We've been away in Meribel supporting KT Tunstall and her lovely band, filming the music video for our Japanese release of YOU ARE THE MUSIC. So yeah video and lots of behind the scenes footage coming up... AP x

22.03.09

AP: Yes it's been another month of frenetic activity. I've just been away in Holland for a week producing 3 songs for rising Dutch artist Dennis for her 2nd album. MG have a few gigs coming up including an ice-cool support slot with KT Tunstall in Meribel, France next week. We're also filming a video for 'You Are The Music' at the end of April so watch this space for further developments....AP

19.02.09

Checking in on a fresh Thursday morning here folks....Well we got an hour long set down at The Pigalle this Friday as part of the Music Box night...we're also in the studio today recording 'Supa Sneakers' for a tribute album to German Hiphop giants Die Fantastischen Vier....as well as preparing for another release and a whole load of live dates and tour news....peachy! APx

18.01.09

BELATED Happy New Year to all our loyal fans! After a nice break we kicked off 2009 in fine style with a live 45 minute set in Stuttgart, Germany recorded for TV. Expect to see 'what went down' up on this page very soon. Needless to say we tore the place 'a new one'. We play Midem, Cannes next week before we get into the business of finally releasing our debut LP Routes II Riches. We plan to tour extensively this year, release some more singles and and perhaps do a live record...it's all very exciting so watch this space...
