2016 was a massive year. Brutal, yet totally rewarding.
Someone asked me what the best thing about 2016 was and it was without a doubt joining Bitch Diesel and getting my radio show Garageland back.
Meeting these three beautiful and witches has been a hilarious and entertaining journey. I've been playing in bands since I was 14 and never have I felt more connected, free and musically stimulated than with Phoebe Taylor (The Silver Skidmark), Ashlee Pierce (The Charger) and Rhia Taranto (The Falcon.) A huge thanks to our cosmic brother/ husband Darren Cordeux for making us sound so great this year and for his musical support and talent. I can't wait to put all of our new tunes onto vinyl next year.
You can hear our new releases from this year on our bandcamp.
These legends had my back all the way through my journey in the psych ward (I even missed the first two gigs) and they put up with me for the rest of my saturn return. So happy to be on the other side of that epic journey. I'm hoping 2017 takes it a little easier on me.
Here are some of my favourite pics with Bitch Diesel from 2016 during our week away recording in Lake Eildon.
