Pistol Daisys | Off Axis Artist of the Week in Scotland On Sunday, 20 April 2025
The trio are striking a chord with a more danceable sound, write Derick Mackinnon and Olaf Furniss read Scotsman.com
Pistol Daisys founding members Lorna Lynne Johnson and Beverley Rachel Matujal aka Belly, first met at an open mic night in Glasgow, not long after the later had moved to the city from Malaysia. They were soon introduced to veteran manager Brendan Moon, who was so impressed that he offered them free studio time, while the in-house engineer Lewis Kelly, liked them so much he ended up joining as a third member.
Initially dabbling in a country sound, their most recent work has taken them in a more danceable direction, striking a chord with programmers at Radio Scotland, who playlisted the recent single Crying In Marseille.
The trio are currently on tour supporting Big Country and have already been booked to play a string of summer festivals, which will see them opening the main stage at Belladrum on 2 August.
Pistol Daisys new single, Calling Your Name, is released on 30 April and is a disco-infused anthem, complete with string stabs and rousing hooks. It will be launched at a special over 14s gig at Glasgow’s St Luke’s. Expect it to go off with a bang! visit https://linktr.ee/pistoldaisys
