I first came across Berlin-based Ella’s music via her project Jools Hunter (she was also in Go Die Big City along with label-mate Monsterheart’s Anna Attar). Ella’s music is electronic, experimental, whimsical and at times intense. She’s currently focusing on latest project UMA, with her husband. What kind of music would you say that you [...]

HI MY NAME IS ELINE ADAM. I’m in the Belgium band Little Trouble Kids. We like to call our music noisepop. Recently we’ve been into the music of Cat Stevens -Tea For The Tillerman. For some reason, I can sing along with almost every song. I asked my mother about it, and apparently she had [...]

Here’s the first in a new series on ConversationsWithBianca.com where I spotlight creators whose work I love, in a way that’s a little bit of a departure from the Q&A style interview I usually run. First up, local musician-artist Alex Wall! I adore musicians (especially lo-fi artists) like Alex that do every aspect of their [...]

Recently I did interview with an inspiring Portland-based lady creator, Nadia Buyse. Nadia kicks ass in bands: Ghost Mom, Tombstalkers/Bloodbraid and most recently the Adrian Piper Cover Band. She works with “images, sounds, puppets, insecurities and regrets. Experimenting with adaptations of gender and sexuality.” She also teaches at the Rock n Roll Camp For Girls. [...]

They’ve been likened to The Melvins, Death From Above 1979 and Karp since [...]

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 [...]
