Ste McCabe started performing live in 2006, using only a drum machine and electric guitar as an alternative to a full band. In 2008 he was signed to Cherryade Records with whom he released his first official EP "Pink Bomb" as a limited edition CD which is no longer available.[1] His first album "Hate Mail" followed later that year and received favourable reviews from underground alternative press and mainstream gay media such as Gay Times, who described Ste as "armed with a mean, lean, bedroom Disco drum machine, a cheap guitar and his biggest asset; a mind and a loud mouth to speak it."[2] Over the following year Ste became known as an LGBT rights advocate as well as a popular underground musician,[3] performing at events such as London Literature Festival at Royal Festival Hall and Indietracks Festival in Derbyshire. The same year Ste joined Dandelion Radio as a DJ, playing "leftist, feminist, queer positive" underground music.[4] Ste's second album "Murder Music" was released in 2009 and featured a duet with avante garde performer David Hoyle. He was subsequently featured in Time Out, Gay Times and more recently Artrocker Magazine, which in September 2010 featured his open letter to The Pope protesting against Benedict XVI's visit to the UK.[5] He has performed at LGBT rights festivals across Europe such as Noc Walpurgii in Warsaw, Poland and Gay Pride 2010 in Bristol, UK.
In 2010 Ste toured the UK to promote his latest EP "Harrowing Breakdown", which was released on Cherryade Records and received repeated national airplay by Huw Stephens on BBC Radio 1.
