Celebrated Scottish indie band Goodbye Mr Mackenzie announce October dates to mark the 30th anniversary re-release of their album Five.
Expertly re-mastered and sounding better than ever, Five’s original release represented a particularly colourful period in the Mackenzie timeline.
The band’s legacy includes original member Shirley Manson who, before Garbage fame, formed offshoot band Angelfish (93-95) with three core members of the Mackenzies, Kelly, Metcalfe and Wilson. The four-piece toured the US and Europe and recorded one album produced by Talking Heads’ Tina Weymouth and Chris Frantz. Big John Duncan meanwhile, was touring with Nirvana as Kurt Cobain’s guitar tech but also played live with them. In fact Big John played with Nirvana in 1993 the same week Angelfish supported The Ramones in New York (where Debbie Harry, Chris Franz & Tina Weymouth showed up to see what all the noise was about).
Five is released on Last Night From Glasgow on Fri 25 Oct 2024.
