Goodbye Mr Mackenzie

Goodbye Mr Mackenzie were a Scottish 1980s and 1990s rock group formed in Bathgate, near Edinburgh. At the band's commercial peak, the line-up consisted of Martin Metcalfe on vocals, John Duncan on guitar, Fin Wilson on bass guitar, Shirley Manson and Rona Scobie on keyboards and backing vocals, and Derek Kelly on drums.

The band came to prominence in the late 1980s after releasing two independent label singles, then were signed to Capitol Records. They charted in the UK with their debut album, 'Good Deeds and Dirty Rags', and single release 'The Rattler', but the band were hindered by record company conflicts and failed to break through outside the UK. They split up in 1993, leaving Manson, Metcalfe, Wilson and Kelly to form Angelfish and continue recording music. Manson left for Garbage in 1994, and Goodbye Mr Mackenzie played their final live show at the end of 1995.

But in 2019 they announced a reunion with a handful of live dates.

FO Machete are back. The duo of Natasha Noramly (bass, vocals) and Paul Mellon (guitar, vocals) formed in 2003 in Glasgow. Their debut album My First Machete was released on Lost Dog Recordings. After years of headline tours, high profile shows and festivals around the UK and Europe - Natasha moved to LA and in 2011 the band went on a long hiatus. In 2023 Natasha returned to Glasgow and FO Machete reformed.
