Kate Dillon knows exactly what she's doing. The frontwoman, figurehead and chief songwriter of Brisbane rock outfit Full Flower Moon Band – better known as simply 'Babyshakes' when she steps to the mic – is all about subverting expectations and offering a new reality in its stead. So it goes with FFMB's third studio album Megaflower. On paper, an allusion to the megaflora – particularly giant plants, suggests ‘everything that's come before, to the nth degree’… or so you'd think.
“When you think about Full Flower going 'mega', I don't want you to think about us going harder and heavier,” Dillon explains. “I want you to think about us going in every direction. Acts like the Arctic Monkeys and David Bowie were able to define careers that went genre-less at as many intersections as they could. I want to have permission to do that as an Australian artist, and not get pigeon-holed. My mega is everything instead of one thing. I'm not saying that I'm doing it perfectly yet, but I am saying I will be moving in places that I want to, and we refuse to be just a heavy-rock band. That's our mega.”
