What’s your name then? Oh. And the name of your band…
Retro San dee and Retro Rach. And we are The Retro Girls.
And what do you do?
Sing, dance and move to the grooves in a cabaret style duo performance.
When did you start doing that?
The Retro Girls have been together for three years.
Why did you start doing that?
Well, it’s all Wendy Stapleton’s fault. She made us. She reckons “You girls have got it.” So that’s how we started. Plus I had a great idea about a retro girl group.
Do you think you’re good at doing that?
Of course. As you can tell we are also extremely shy. Not only have we been under the influence of Wendy Stapleton, we’ve also been very lucky to study and work with Debra Byrne. Both strong, legendary women still working in the Australian music industry.
What makes you happiest about what you’re doing?
Definitely the feathers. And the smiles and the joy we bring with our music and feathery silliness.
And what makes you unhappiest about what you’re doing?
When you take a breath to let out that big note and a feather floats in
What’s you proudest moment of doing what you do?
Every time we set a goal and we achieve more than we set out to do.
And your least proud?
Always proud of what we do, because we always give it a red hot, or rather, a hot pink go.
