Molly McQueen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Molly McQueen (real name Molly Decima Ure) was born March 7, 1987 and was the lead singer of the band The Faders, with whom she performed under the name Molly Lorenne. Molly has described her music as being "Pop punk with a sixties edge".
She is also noted in the media for having Midge Ure as her father, although she has done little herself to try and exploit this link. This often leads to confusion over her surname (as people assume she is called Molly Ure). She also has three sisters, Kitty, Ruby and Flossy and a brother Ted. The family also own a dog called Morrigan. When asked what she must have with her at all times Molly says her mobile and her iPod.
Molly is noted for her simple can-do attitude. For instance, when Molly was asked about what she looked for in a car, she said: “Believe it or not, I look at the same thing that I look for in an amplifier. It may sound silly but I prefer something that can be fixed easily if it breaks. Something reliable and if it does break, you can take it anywhere and they'd be able to fix it.”
Molly had sung with a jazz band at school in South London. "A teacher said I had a great jazz voice, and I said, ‘But I don’t want to BE a jazz singer!’" Molly grew up listening to Destiny’s Child and India Arie. She knew Brian Rawlings, Mark Taylor and Jeff Taylor, aka the Metrophonic production team and was introduced to Toy and Cherisse - the other members of the Faders at an audition in South London.
On 6 July 2006 it was revealed that The Faders had split and Molly was going solo. She is re-releasing No Sleep Tonight under the name of Molly McQueen. A video for the song was featured on the DVD version of My Super Ex-Girlfriend under special features.
