'The material the Messy Subjects write is inspired by relationships, people, places, families, and real life experiences. They share an eclectic list of influences that form their unique sound - described (in a nutshell) as soulful blues meets melancholic jazz.'
Next Gig:
'The Messy Subjects began rehearsals in a small basement in Long Ashton, Bristol. They immediately struck up a close relationship and conjured a fresh unique style. After several highly tipped performances Bristol’s Evening Post soon ran a full 2-page article on the band. Offers to gig flooded in, including 3 by the legendary underground Grumpy Man promotions team who host shows for acts such as Beth Gibbons of Portishead fame. Now with a fully polished set of original songs they are gigging wherever they can.'
Fancy playing a gig with us a Pete Roe at the Folkhouse? I would be on Sat 6th June. We're about to release our album, so there should be lots of publicity. Dan x
