"Well hell yeah we really did get her back in the club!!
She just blew in from the windy city and rocked this joint to pieces.
She is 50ft of shexyness, classy kinda sassy with her skirt way above her knees…….as Steven Tyler would say !!
But yes sir, this band, are as tight as the proverbial nuns crutch. With tunes more catchier than crabs in Blackpool on the Glasgow fortnight !!!
Minki, poor gal was wee bit under the weather. But she sang her 50ft heart out to the pleasure of one and all. She really has got herself one helluva band. Totally together and it does give me pleasure (!) when a band make the effort to look like a Rock 'n' Roll band….I do wish others would take note !! But there again I am a stickler for that kinda thing !!!
Coming on like a female fronted Aerosmith with plenty of AC/DC riffs and with a subtle hint of pop made it a great show. Songs such as 'Ultra Violet', 'Strictly Only Swinging' and 'Skinny Minnie' are pure pop rock 'n' roll so much so it made me wanna whip out me old glam rock gear and shake some action. Great band and really nice folks!! Well worth a look at from any angle !!!!" - The Gassienda

Bio
Inspired by the eponymous B- movie, 50ft Woman came to be. Rolling all her favourite bands into one, front woman Minki created a superhero character with a superhero soundtrack. now ably assisted by a brand new line-up giving a more edgy rock feel, they have been described as ‘Blondie’s forgotten love child’ and a personification of ‘Into the Valley of the Ultra Vixens’. Catchy choruses, quirky lyrics and crunchy guitars make for a heady mix.
2010 saw them supporting The Union on their UK tour and King Kurt and Vince Ray and the Boneshakers at the London Tattoo Convention, topped with a capacity burlesque EP-launch in Hoxton.
2011 saw them at Silverstone for the British GP as guests of the Marussia Virgin Racing Weekend with Dry The River, life in Film and Alistair Griffin and headlining the Phoenixbury festival, amongst other festival dates.
Currently filming the video for the next single, 'Google Tan' and booking London dates, with a view to festival and further afield UK dates later in the year.
