Tobi-lea is a musician originally from Western Australia now living in Tasmania. I find her story inspiring and her music honest and straight from the heart. Her story, in her own words: “I ran away from my hometown Tom Price (a small mining town in the Pilbra, Western Australia) with dreams of starting a punk [...]

I recently had the absolute pleasure of interviewing Kathleen Hanna!! She was so honest, candid and all-round lovely. I’ve been waiting to speak with her for over a decade! Here’s a little of the chat: Didn’t you go to a Babes In Toyland concert and that experience opened things up for you and you realised [...]

Fiona Horne is a rock goddess, best-selling author, Wiccan priestess, actress, TV writer-producer and more! This year sees her back in the spotlight in a big way as her band Def FX gear up for a reunion tour, the first in 15 years. In her first interview since announcing the tour dates last week on [...]

I used to go see Kellie’s band Screamfeeder play when I was in my teens, along with bands like Powderfinger, Custard and (my favourites) Fur. Kellie was one of the first local female musicians I ever saw play, it was definitely inspiring. I was stoked when Rolling Stone Australia’s editor asked if I wanted to interview Kellie [...]

I am so incredibly EXCITED about the Portland and Washington DC-based band Wild Flag!—four independent thinking, strong musicians that work very, very hard at their craft. They make me want to pick up my guitar and start a new band! Drummer Janet Weiss was lovely enough to chat with me recently about female musicians that [...]

I’ve listened to Le Butcherettes practically every single day since I first discovered them last year. There are not many bands that have made my daily playlists, especially so quickly. I get the same feeling listening to Le Butcherettes’ Kiss & Kill and Sin Sin Sin records as I did when I first discovered Hole’s [...]

I recently had the pleasure of speaking to UK musician Kate Nash. We spoke about music, feminism, sexism, online criticism, empowering young women, zines, her Rock N Roll For Girls After School Club, Brazil, Dubai … a whole load more, as well! Here’s a snippet of our conversation: I know that you’re really proud to [...]

I believe that Drea Smith is destined for greatness. One half of indie duo PYYRAMIDS, along with OK Go’s Tim Nordwind; previously fronting the genre mashing He Say, She Say with best friend Million Dollar Mano; currently working on a solo project with Doc McKinney (Santigold, The Weeknd, K-OS + more)—this lady is a creative [...]

Rainbow Arabia – husband and wife team Danny and Tiffany Preston – is another favourite find for me this year (I included Tiffany on my Top Music Makers for 2011 list). They’re inspired by “the purchase of a Lebanese synthesizer playing microtonal scales and lo-fi Eastern drum patterns” so the story goes. The UK’s Guardian [...]

Australian artist Pom Pom and I first bonded over our mutual love of band Felinedown and admiration for their kick ass frontlady Brodie-Ann Wright. After a little correspondence I found out that Pom Pom makes music herself that she describes as “a distorted crossbreed of Trent Reznor, Fever Ray and Peaches.” When not making [...]
