Louise McVey and Cracks in the Concrete - Muse

Vocalist Louise McVey and guitarist/noisemaker Graeme Miller met in a basement in 2009. Their shared passion for dark unexplored musical territory has made for a highly fruitful period; exploring dusty pianos, scuttling guitars, sonorous vocals and selective percussion. Drummer Gordon MacPherson, pianist Jimmy O'Donnell, bassist Garry Freckleton and violinist Kathy Boyd were all press-ganged into the fold to create a stark haunting backdrop for Louise's vocals.
In 2010 they performed live in amongst others Glasgow, Edinburgh, Stirling and Berlin to rave reviews and played coveted support slots with Pete Molinari and She Keeps Bees, and an incendiary Radio 1 live session for Vic Galloway in the Summer. They are continuing to unsettle audiences far and wide.
Their self-titled debut EP was released digitally through the hugely auspicious Optimo Music in Autumn 2009, and in 2010 on 7" white vinyl through Metropolicana. Their debut album will be released Autumn/winter 2011, and the band will further seek out the darker corners.
