'Drunk Mums'- Not Just A Great Name

‘Drunk Mums’- Not Just A Great Name
About three months ago, Facebook recommended to me that I like a band called ‘Drunk Mums’. I mean, with a name as cool as that it would seem silly not to give them a listen.
First track I heard was, ‘Big Titty Trippin’’ and that’s when they gained another fan. With a sound not too dissimilar to a scratchier FIDLAR and the raw cartoony-ness found in their albums, Drunk Mums’ live show promises to be fun, messy and full of chaos.
Drunk Mums, originally from Melbourne, play to a young crowd at The Loft on Tuesday night. The line-up contains 6 bands in total and is one of the smoothest changeovers of bands I have ever seen. The timing was perfect. A band finishes, you light a cigarette and by the time you put it out, the next band are ready to go. Support comes from local acts such as, The Gillies showing that Southampton knows a thing or two about metal inspired grunge and Vinyl Staircase who have been starting to cause a whirlpool in the music industry. Each different support brings their own twist to the night and show-cases the fact that unsigned bands can be just as great to watch as those selling out arenas.
Drunk Mums come on stage shortly after and greet the audience with an Australian “Gooday” before kicking off their gritty set that shows Melbourne sure know how to party. With songs about pissing the bed and going to the ‘Pub On My Own’, this Australian four-piece cater perfectly to their young crowd of drinkers and converse wearers. Track, ‘Vitamin D’ proves the highlight of the night with the crowd chanting back, “I just want my vitamin D” to the four leather-wearing reprobates on stage as their trouble-making humour shines through their occasional splashes of surfer inspirations. One major highlight is when they are joined on stage by an uninvited fan as guitarist, Jake Doyle finishes pouring a pint into his shoe and begins to feed it to this unexpected fan. Vocalist, Adam Ritchie then mentions, “you’ve definitely caught something now” as he stumbles back to his spot in the crowd.
As far as influences go, The Stooges scream claim to the top of Drunk Mums list along with potential Sex Pistols and Dune Rats. But as far as sound goes, Drunk Mums hold onto some originality with their mixture of garage, surfer, punk and rock. It’s a brilliant blend of everything that’s fun in the music industry. And that’s what Drunk Mums are- fun. And who doesn't love a drunk mum?
