About the show
Hailing from Blackburn, combining ferocious fuzz guitar sounds of Queens of the Stone Age, The Stooges and Black Sabbath with the soul-smoked sound of Kayley’s deep, rich voice, Sky Valley Mistress takes you through a range of soaring, delicate and yearning melodies between peaks of mountainous riffs and depths of granite-heavy desert rock grooves. Defying logic with aspiration, the pair have created a live show that has to be seen to be believed... Facing each other on stage, the Duel-Drumming Duo stand with vocalist Kayley “Hell Kitten”Davies behind one half of the kit and guitarist Max “Leather Messiah” Newsome holding onto the kick drum pedal. No samples. No backing tracks. No click tracks. No one is playing rock and roll like these two do. FFO: Queens of the Stone Age, The Stooges, Black Sabbath
Featuring - Sky Valley Mistress
Returning with their first release since their debut album “Faithless Rituals”, Sky Valley Mistress have launched back into the sonic stratosphere with their brand new single “Too Many Ghosts”.
Recorded at The Nave Studios, Leeds with engineer Danny Blackburn (Adult DVD), it’s clear that the sound of the desert still fuels this band wherever they go as their latest cut is cactus needle sharp. From the moment the track picks up, Sky Valley Mistress drive you beyond the horizon and leave you hanging by the hook of the chorus ready to ride again. Or as the band explain:
“This song is meant for the open highway. Somewhere you have the freedom to put your foot down and still feel like you’re cruising”.
Now streamlined and stripped back to the two original members, refusing to conform to conventions, on the record Sky Valley Mistress have doubled down their studio sound and present themselves as a four-piece band. How the hearse rollin’, flare strollin’, speaker ‘splodin’ outfit recreate this in the flesh as a Duel-Drumming Duo however, has to be seen to be believed. Lead vocalist Kayley “Hell Kitten” Davies picks up the sticks and play one half of a drum kit, with former drummer Maxwell Harvey William Newsome III taking on the electric guitar and keeping one foot on the kick drum. No samples. No backing tracks. No click tracks.
No one is playing rock and roll the way that these two do.
