“This all feels a bit like therapy but a lot less private as it will be going on the Internet.” Juliette Jackson confesses. Through the maze of tunnels that is the backstage area of the Brighton Dome and Corn Exchange, past the numerous Grime crews and frantic tour managers, The Big Moon sit in their tiny dressing room looking cool as cucumbers. The all-female indie four-piece from London are storming onto the scene in some fashion. The hype behind the band is rapidly growing and there is good reason for that. They are yet to release an album but recent single ‘Cupid’ is huge. It’s had plenty of airplay on various radio stations, a vinyl release and is one of the best songs you’ll hear this year.
“Before I was doing this I was a waitress” Juliette explains, “its what I’d been doing forever so even the bad days are so much better then serving people burgers and chips.” The band life is something she is clearly relishing. You can hear it in the music and feel it when they play live. The Big Moon simply love making music. As well as their music being incredible as a live act there are few acts without an album and years of experience, which can top them. They’re the sort of support act that out shines whoever the headline act is. They are going to go far.
