50ft Woman are a female fronted London based band, consisting of front woman and lead vocals Minki, a 6ft diva (Walsall and London), Adie (Kent) and Paul (Essex) on guitars, Matt (Portsmouth and Elephant and Castle, London) on bass and Cormac (Belfast and Acton, London) on drums.
Rolling all her favourite bands into one, Minki created a superhero character with a superhero soundtrack. With influences as far reaching as AC/DC to Adam Ant, it stands to reason that each song will be a story in itself. Energetic, spunky songs with quirky lyrics and catchy choruses make for an eclectic but energetic mix.
Live, Minki’s fetish for high heels never fails to delight, with her followers invited to join the ShoeShoe Club, an exclusive member’s only shoe worshipping club, and to worship at gigs by wearing their favourite fabulous pair, along with “any excuse to dress up, I don’t need to be asked twice!”
It’s Minki’s dream to have themed gigs, “where everyone will dress up and wear something outrageous and make the effort”. 50ft Woman is such a visual brand, so why not have fun and play with it!
And play with it they do. Their website boasts a whole section dedicated to collages from fans who have sent in their own images that really do make Minki into a 50ft Woman including one that was created to look like Minki was actually lying on Tower Bridge!.
But it’s not just about the image. Without the songs there is no band. With subjects ranging from goldfish to Soho to trainspotters, there will be something for everyone. When asked to define their genre, each member of 50ft Woman will say something different, but actually it is three genres all rolled into one.
50ft Woman create their own genre; rockpunkpop. It’s a big sound live, and finally with their new EP, 'Ménage á Trois', recorded at new Islington studio “The Church of Steve Honest”, that big sound has finally been captured.
