Hello! Who are we speaking with and what do you do in Lady Oscar?
Hello. I’m Nitida, the lead singer, songwriter, motivator, vibe-regulator, visual artist, artistic director, treasurer, co-manager and receptionist for Lady Oscar. Right now, I’m painting our band shirts on the lounge room floor. It’s a DIY world these days.
You’re about to release your debut mini-LP Dapper Desperado. Tell us about the writing and recording process that led to this release.
Our music is very much a product of collaboration. There’s a lot of mutual respect and love of one another’s musicality in the band. So everyone’s creative opinion is valued. Once we have a starting point all of our ideas, tastes, instincts and reactions are thrown into the mix, eventually a song is born. As for recording, we made the excellent decision to record, mix and master at Pughouse Studios with Niko Schauble. This is our first recording, so there was a lot to learn, but we couldn’t have been in better hands. We’re very happy with the way it turned out.
Describe your sound to us in five words.
Honest, intimate, refreshing Melbourne soul.
What’s in store for crowds at your Howler launch?
This is going to be our best show yet. Grooves deeper, climax steeper, more for your money with the door price cheaper. Tight drums, fat horns, beefy bass, guitar solos with the maximum taste. Sequins, freestyles, dance moves and more. That’s just a taste of what they have in store.
