Local and Vocal is back on board for the Autumn Grid, Sundays 1 - 3 pm. I'm pretty stoked about that.
Today's triumphant return happened to fall on International Women's Day (other wise known as happy birthday Angie Hart day), so there was a big focus on the ladies. I might play all dudes next week in the second hour, just to ensure I remain an equal opportunity radio program.
I had a chat on the phone with fab Sydney lady Sarah Aubrey, who you may know for many reasons:
- her band Girl Most Likely
- she was featured in a Tropfest short film about her doing a poo, and won best actress at Tropfest for this in 2002
- the girl in the Silverchair video for Ana's Song
Sarah is in a band with her girlfriend Beck (drums), neighbour Chris and friend Scott. They're grouse! Check them out.
In the second half of the program the happiest lady I've ever met popped in to have a chat and a play, Coby Grant is launching her EP Coby Grant Is In Full Colour at the Northcote Social Club tonight in the middle of her national tour. We played BAM and Coby played A Song About Me (which was not about me, but about her) live in the studio. It was so lovely and affirming that I almost floated away but I did force myself to stick around and press the buttons til the end of the show.
