Define your genre in five words or less:
Is there a “song” genre? We like songs.
What can a punter expect from your live show?
Autoharp, banjo, electric guitar, harmony singing, puns.
How long have you been gigging and writing?
Sime’s being playing, writing and releasing music for 15 years. Alice studied classical music and started gigging around Melbourne about five years ago. We started playing as Sweet Jean in late 2010.
Do you have any record releases to date? What are they? Where can I get them?
We released our debut album Dear Departure last year. You can buy it on Bandcamp, iTunes, or your local JB Hi-Fi.
What’s the strangest place you’ve ever played a gig, or made a recording?
Our first gig was on top of a mountain at a biker rally beside an apparatus called ‘The Dome of Death’. Luckily nobody died. We’re currently recording new songs in our laundry.
Tell us about the last song you wrote.
The last two songs we wrote were about murder and memory.
When’s the gig and with who?
Melbourne Folk Club on Wednesday May 28 at Bella Union with Sara Retallick (Jimmy Tait) and Davey Lane.
