Full Flower Moon Band Biography
Beloved botanical Brisbane beasts Full Flower Moon Band release their third studio album Megaflower. Following on from their acclaimed Diesel Forever, which launched the burgeoning project onto theatre and festival stages across the country and was one of 2021’s most acclaimed Australian rock albums, only one thing stopped it from being FFMB's best record: The fact that figurehead and bandleader Kate “Babyshakes” Dillon knew she hadn't written that yet.
“I could have easily not challenged myself, but I made a point of going through a real metamorphosis with every song,” says Dillon on the creation of Megaflower. “For the first time, I didn't have a grand concept going into making an album – I just had a point to prove.” That point? FFMB – and there's an entire botanical garden of ideas growing out of the dirt.
Featuring the full live ensemble in the studio with Dillon, with co-production (alongside Dillon) and mixing handled by the award-winning Tony Buchen (Smashing Pumpkins, Kirin J Callinan, Troye Sivan), Megaflower's widescreen vision is fully realised by Dillon's circle of trust. “I really appreciate my bandmates for sticking around and being on this ride with me”.
In addition to Megaflower's explorative sound, Dillon also notes that a lot of the fun that came with making the album was its wry streak of humour. “It's a very cheeky, sarcastic album”, says Dillon. “You could read the lyrics like prose, I think. There's a funny take on the modern age in there, from a lot of varying perspectives.”
To celebrate the release of Megaflower, Dillon and co. are set to tour this August to September with a series of Australian headliners. In the meantime, Dillon hopes you get well acquainted with Full Flower Moon Band's new terrain – and, with hushed awe, behold the Megaflower.
