BaekMa's Year of the Horse

Ooft! What a year it's been!

Last Christmas Eve we played our very first show. We barely knew each other; barely knew an amp from our armpits, but we did it and thought, 'Well now, that wasn't so bad. There's something to this 'BaekMa' malarkey'. You can catch our first performance here.

In spring we said goodbye to Caroline, and welcomed Adam of New Blue Death to play some shows with us. Amongst those, was our first ever at FF (!) and our studio show that saw the dawning of The Horse Mask.

Then unto us was delivered a most beautiful babe: sound of round-buying and powerful of slappin' da bass. Mike. Otherwise known as: Matt, "the Dude", "You're not in that girl band. You're a bloke! Piss off!"

After Mike joined it was all go! We did our Seoul-band coming-of-age Groove interview, worked hard, played as many shows as we possibly could and in July released our first EP. You can listen to the first "single" here and download the EP here. The lovely people at Doindie asked us to play their showcase, and soon after we were playing at Pentaport Rock Festival! 

We played just about every weekend (including the Itaewon Global Festival where Mike wooed a legion of sweltering grannies), scraping together enough monies so we could get into Union Studios with BA Wheeler and JNKYRD. We handmade a lot of merch and strong-armed mates into doing favours for us from making press releases to making breakfast. 

Here's Rabbits at the Shindig show where Stephanie exposed her arse for the sake of the band's money-saving.  marinacarstensart and AoifeCasey.com designed this amazing album art for us, and we even had Scott from Korean rock-legends YB make some covers for us!

Handmade albums handmadified, and silly costumes thrown togetherilised, we were ready for our album release show at DGBD! Shout out to everyone who helped out with the event-- we can honestly say it was the highlight of our year! You can download the album here!

In the final few weeks of the year we toured, we wrote new songs, and cringed together as we watched our television debut on a Korean TV show where one might  put the words 'horse' and 'shit' together without breaking too much of a sweat. (Hint: The networks rhymes with "Harry rang".)

We've had a great year, and owe the tremendous fun we've had to a lot of people. All you folks who came out, took pictures, shared stuff on your facebook, made videos, made CDs, interviewed us, played with us, let us fundraise for you (holla Hollaback!): we are so terribly grateful and offer you a big horse-sized 'Thank You!'

2015 is just hours away. We're going to try to do more, write more, get bigger and realise our dream of playing with an international act! (Make it happen, universe!) 

See ewe in the Year of the Sheep, folks <3
