Lucy Botting wanted girlboss to be her project. The music was drawn up from the mists of reality television shows, childhood movies, and mixtape tremolo. It had a confidence that was also soft, centred around Lucy’s vision. She put together a live band with Darian Woods (from their previous project, Wet Wings), Douglas Kelly and Olivia Campion (Yumi Zouma, Estère).
girlboss will visit Dog with Two Tails in Dunedin for the release party for its debut EP Body Con: a small run of cassettes through Wellington label Ball of Wax.
Early comments from the studio engineer are that he’s “really digging where it is,” with Olivia’s focused drumming, Darian’s ornamental guitar lines, and Douglas’s bass “defined with string noise” supporting Lucy’s voice, which has “unusual harmonics.”
girlboss is now well and truly a band more than a solo project.
$10 on the door. Doors 8:30pm. First band 9:00pm.
