So then, what’s the band name and what do you ‘do’ in the band?
We’re Biddlewood and we’re made up of guitarist/vocalist/songwriter Tali Harding-Hone, bassist/vocalist/songwriter Bridget McArthur, and drummer/vocalist Isabel Campbell-Taylor.
What do you reckon people will say you sound like?
A lot of people see us play and their immediate response is HAIM; yeah, duh we’re girls, and there are three of us, very original. We think we’re a bit of a mix of The Cranberries, The Strokes, Washington, and San Cisco.
What do you love about making music?
We love the freedom it gives us to tell stories, both autobiographical and fictional, and we love the fact that for pretty much every song there’s someone in the audience thinking, “I bet that one’s about me”. It’s most likely not, but it’s cool that they’re resonating with it.
What do you hate about the music industry?
We hate the lack of girls out there. It’s an advantage in that we stand out more, but often, the fact that the first thing people think of about us is “they’re girls,” rather than “they make sick music,” can get pretty annoying.
If you could travel back in time and show one of your musical heroes your stuff, who would it be and why?
Mozart, because I think he’d be really shocked and it’d be amusing.
Catch BIDDLEWOOD at The Workers Club on Sunday March 29.
