Many Glasgow gig-goers might have seen the Miss’s over the years, without realising it.

They’ve been a part of anything from hip hop act Hector Bizerk to indie pop group Aerials Up and Nashville tribute band Glasville.

Now Rutherglen songstresses Michelle Low and Audrey Tait are set to put their original project in the spotlight again, with a new single, Keep Me, and a show at the Hug & Pint tonight.

“We went to a few gigs a wee while back and felt really inspired by them,” explains Audrey, who plays guitar with the Miss’s but also drums with Hector Bizerk.

“We were at shows like Ryan Adams, and we wanted a bit more of that sound. He can play a song acoustically and sound amazing and then play it again with a full band, and make the song amazing in a different way.”

That means the pair will be joined by a three-piece backing band at the Hug & Pint tonight, boosting their acoustic-led pop to a bigger sound. The group have gigged on and off for years, but the band took a backseat in recent years as their other projects took off.

Now they’re planning a new album for early next year. It will continue the fuller sound of Keep Me’s brightly melodic pop, which was picked as the Single of the Week on BBC Radio’s Janice Forsyth show last week.

“For the past couple of years, whenever we’ve written a song it’s been something where we can hear bass in it, or hear the other parts right from the start,” says Michelle, who also fronts Glasville.

“We usually don’t write something that we can’t play with just the two of us live, but this time we’ve kinda done it backwards – we’ve written and recorded them with Audrey playing multiple instruments, and then done an acoustic version that’s just as full. We were going for a deliberate studio sound.”

The duo have been writing songs together for years, but it’s only now that they feel they’ve gained enough confidence to really take the songs forward, and give the band their own identity, too

“There was a long time where we weren’t really sure how to describe it,” says Michelle.

“We used to call it acoustic soul pop and we’d play these acoustic nights, but trying to get people to think that we weren’t just another folk act was annoying. Now the lines are really blurred with music.

“Hector Bizerk are the perfect example, because it’s hip hop but they can support the Libertines.”

Both women feel they’ve benefitted from the success of their other projects. Michelle has seen Glasville go from strength to strength with their covers of songs from the hit TV show.

“People were throwing bras at us on the last tour, which was a bit mental,” she laughs.

“They were aiming at Michael (Glasville singer), not me though! We even got given guestlist to see the stars of the show play in Glasgow the other month, and we got to meet Sam Palladio, who plays Gunner, at the end.

“He said to us ‘I’ve heard of Glasville – I was like, ‘are you sure?’”

There’s been some different emotions for Audrey. There was a huge reaction to the news Hector Bizerk will break-up at the end of the year, following a run of final gigs and the tributes paid to the band showed the impact they’d had on Scottish hip hop.

“It was quite overwhelming,” says Audrey.

“Even though we’ve been going for a few years, I think there’s still some folk who think it’s just Louie, and it was nice that people were asking what the rest of the band are up to, too.

“We’ve had people saying they’ll come to the Miss’s gig too, because Hector weren’t just hip hop, and I think people can get into this band too.”
