Summer Sapphic: QUEENIE + KATE ALEXANDER

About This Event

Queenie; the trash queen alter-ego of Melbourne musician Eloise Thetford (ex Heloise, Bone Shack and Badgers), is a fearless performer who wears her heart on her sleeve. Her live shows shake, shudder and smoulder with fiery charisma and freewheeling stagecraft when she's performing with her band; a Rougues' gallery of Melbourne's finest musicians. Beneath all the sizzle, though, is a uniqe and powerful voice: tender one moment and visceral the next, Queenie can soar from Emmy-Lou Harris to Mariah Carey at the drop of a hat, launching her deeply emotive songwriting into the stratosphere like a rocket strapped to a Cadillac.

Kate Alexander is a Naarm-based songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. In addition to playing in numerous local outfits including The Hot Blood, UTE ROOT, Party Pest and Mightiest of Guns, Kate is a prolific solo artist, currently preparing to release her fourth studio recording and first full-length solo album in 2024. Revered for pointed lyrics and distinctively raw, fervent vocals, Kate’s songs echo with the disparate threads of country, punk and alt-folk, creating a dark swirl of imagery and feeling.
