The Steve McQueens are an exciting young band discovered by Incognito’s Bluey whilst he was giving a motivational speech at a music college whilst touring in Singapore. He asked if any of the students could play something for him and after the band’s mind blowing performance of two original songs, Bluey offered to produce them on the spot! This talented bunch of Jazz heads promptly headed to Bluey’s Livingstone studio’s in Shoreditch to record their album, where lead singer Ginny Bloop fell for all things London from Pink Doc Martens, Marmite and the good old Cockney accent. The excitement of the city’s rich cultural mix and vibrant musical scene brought an uplifting energy to the recordings. Even fan Gilles Peterson popped down to the studio, whose presence and comments were met with great excitement! The result is an absolutely stunning 10 track debut album, ‘Seamonster’, that oozes with fresh soulful and jazzy vibes, executed to the highest standard of musicianship and drizzled with Ginny’s sweet, distinctive vocal tones.The Steve McQueens ‘Seamonster’ album also hails the very first release for Bluey’s brand new joint record label project alongside David Ranalli, Julian Fontenell and Ravi Chidambaram, Splash Blue.
“Recording this album in London took us as a band to another level. The vibrancy of the city is at the heart of these recordings!” – The Steve McQueens
