Australian alternative artist Suzie Stapleton has been captivating audiences with her electric live performances and guitar-driven noir soundscapes since she relocated to London in 2015. She has opened for artists such as Mark Lanegan, Mick Harvey, and Boss Hog and this year appeared as guest vocalist on Lydia Lunch & Cypress Grove’s unlikely covers album “Under The Covers” – a continuation of Stapleton’s collaborations with Cypress Grove on The Jeffrey Lee Pierce Sessions Project.

This will be Stapleton’s very first performance with her band in the capital whose current line up includes Gavin Jay (Jim Jones Revue/The Righteous Mind) on bass, and Jim Macaulay (The Stranglers) on drums.

“Those who complain that there are no musicians with star quality anymore should do themselves a favour and check out Suzie and her band’s live debut as a three-piece at Servant Jazz Quarters in London on January 25th. This is an unmissable opportunity to see one of the most exciting emerging talents on the London scene before she hits the big time – book your tickets now before it sells out” – Louder Than War

Madam is a five-piece London based band, fronted by singer-songwriter and composer Sukie Smith. They create nocturnal, intricate, cinematic soundscapes; songs that are at once confessional and a call to arms. Epic and fragile, melancholic and joyous, Madam play songs of love and death and the human condition.

The band has amassed a loyal legion of fans at home and abroad, showcasing their smoky sound at intimate gigs and packed venues across the UK and Europe.
