BACHELOR GIRL
Homegrown pop sensations reunite
for album release and exclusive live shows!
Australian
duo Bachelor Girl are thrilled to announce that they will reunite for the release
of their greatest hits album, "Loved & Lost: The Best of Bachelor Girl"
(Sony Music) on Friday 15th April, followed by a select group of live shows in
May and June. 'Loved & Lost' is the first best of collection from Bachelor
Girl and will bring together hits such as 'Permission To Shine', 'I'm Just A Girl'
& 'Buses & Trains' along with four 'lost' songs. These 'lost' songs were
recorded between 2002-03 and have remained unreleased, until now.
Bachelor
Girl, comprising vocalist Tania Doko and keyboardist/producer James Roche, created
waves in the local and international music scenes in 1998 with their debut single
"Buses And Trains", taken from the double platinum-selling album "Waiting
For The Day" which claimed the 1998 ARIA Award for Best Producer. They secured
pop icon status in 1999, when "Buses And Trains" won the APRA Award
for Song of the Year and became PPCA's Most-Played Song on Australian radio, and
continued to turn heads as the debut record spawned a further four smash hit singles
including "Treat Me Good" and "Permission To Shine".
2002's
follow-up release "Dysfunctional" saw the band remain on an upward trajectory,
featuring hits "I'm Just A Girl" and "Drowning Not Waving".
Both Doko and Roche return to Australian shores for the 'Loved
& Lost' tour, after taking a lengthy overseas hiatus; Doko has been based
in LA and Stockholm for the past six years, with Roche spending time in London.
The pair is delighted to be back on home turf, and they're gearing up for a run
of gigs that will showcase new Bachelor Girl tunes alongside old favourites to
fans across the country.
"It's amazing to think it's
been almost 20 years since James and I met and started working together"
says Tania. "It's also been several years since we've both lived in Australia
for more than a few months at a time. 2011 has never been a more perfect year
to celebrate our career 'gems', tour a new release for our fans, and expose some
of our favourite lost tracks. We really can't wait to get out there and play!"
