Da Line UP:

Partyline (USA)
Hailing from Washington DC, PARTYLINE is a punk trio with some serious feminism royalty at the helm; asides from being the former frontwoman of BRATMOBILE, singer ALLISON WOLFE, was also a major instigator of the RIOT GRRRL movement in the Nineties and the first LADYFESTS in the Naughties. When PARTYLINE toured in 2006, they loved Australia (and the concept of ‘bogans’) SO MUCH that they nearly cancelled their flights back home. Back in town for Ladyfest Melbourne, we’re very excited to have Allison, Angela and Crystal on board to get the Grouse Party started.

Origami (USA)
If you were seeing gigs around Melbourne a few years back, you can’t have missed the all-girl powerhouse that was ORIGAMI! Very sorely missed around the scene, this half-American/half-Aussie band relocated to the USA in 2005 and sadly disbanded last year. With American-born singer, RHONDA SIMMONDS back in Australia on holidays we invited her to get some of the ORIGAMI girls back together for a very special DJ set. (Note: come early for this – Origami DJs + Happy Hour = ultimate grouseness!)
