Oedipus and The Mama’s Boys are a seven-piece sonic soundscape from Edinburgh, blending raw post-punk energy with experimental noise rock textures. Armed with guitar, bass, saxophone, violin, drums, and synths, their sound is chaotic, cathartic, and original. Drawing influence from genre heavyweights like IDLES, Gilla Band, Squid, The Murder Capital, and Gurriers.
Known for their intense live performances, the band sold out their headline show at Sneaky Pete’s and made their Glasgow debut at the world famous King Tut’s, opening the venue’s prestigious Summer Nights series. With a lineup that pushes boundaries and a sound that defies convention, Oedipus and the Mamas Boys are carving out a bold new space in the UK’s underground music scene. With exciting support slots with ‘Joe and the Shitboys‘, ‘Legss’, ‘Hotel Lux’, ‘Bones Ate Arfa’ and ‘ Fuzz Lightyear’ scheduled for late 2025, this band is only just getting started.
