Full Flower Moon Band Go Viral With 'West Side' Reel, Gain Jack Black & Noel Fielding’s Attention

Brisbane rock band Full Flower Moon Band are experiencing a taste of viral fame, with a clip of them performing live making waves on social media.

Filmed during their recent European and UK tour, the video captures the band performing their track West Side, with singer and guitarist Kate “Babyshakes” Dillon in electrifying form on stage.

The video has spawned passionate debate in the comments, with viewers expressing shock and awe at the band’s undeniable gritty sound. So far, the video has garnered over 800,000 views, more than 18,000 likes, and received numerous reactions and shares.

Additionally, Full Flower Moon Band have been inundated with new followers, including rock and entertainment stars such as Jack Black, Sleaford Mods, Noel Fielding, and Cage The Elephant. You can check out the video below.

West Side was released as a single last February and features on the band’s third album, Megaflower, released last July.

Dillon said of the track at the time, “West Side has always been a track that bridges our last album, Diesel Forever and into a new era of bigger, bolder production. When I first gave the band the chord charts, and ‘rap section’ was written on the page, I think we all knew I wasn’t playing it safe.

“I worked and re-worked this track, and now it has the essence of a rock song, but structurally it’s quite unusual. It’s exciting to bring in a new era for the band, and I love that the first thing audiences will hear me sing after two years is, ‘I was hoping motherfucker will call me back’. So pick up, Full Flower Moon Band on the line.”

Upon its release, Megaflower debuted at #1 on the ARIA Australian Albums Chart. The band have gone on to receive international buzz from American radio station KEXP and BBC Radio—courtesy of Iggy Pop. They’ve secured a UK/EU deal with Free Trade, launched their own beer with Mountain Goat, and continue to achieve local success while growing their profile overseas.

Next Saturday, Full Flower Moon Band will share the stage with The Saints 73-78, Regurgitator, Tropical Fuck Storm, Screamfeeder, and many others in Brisbane to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the community radio station, 4ZZZ.

From midday until late, bands will perform on two stages for a clash-free event for 4ZZZ - ZED50: A Market Day Celebration of 50 Years of 4ZZZ Radio.
