Biography

Described as the lovechild of ABBA  and The White Stripes, London based, Australian born, indie pop quartet, Tall Poppies match neat, melodic alt- pop with darker, creative notions. Inspired by retro alternative British acts including Kate Bush and David Bowie,  Perth identical twins Susan and Catherine Hay emigrated to the UK to pursue their musical dreams. They spin melodic tales of life from both sides of the planet in luscious dual harmonies alongside Diarmuid Nugent pulling at heart strings on violin and Doug Fink injecting the energy and danceability on drums. Tall Poppies have toured the UK, Europe and Australia with their uplifting live show that will leave you feeling a taller poppy and part of the family.

Upbeat but humorously dark, and not short of passion, wonderfully catchy indie pop‘ Peter Kimpton, writer for the Guardian

They look super – all legs, knee socks, knowing grins to each other and glossy bobs. They sound even better – inch perfect harmonies, all Tanya Donelly crossed with Barbara Dickson(!), abetted by bass and guitar that is another texture, rather than just an aside.” James G, SoundsXP.com

Cat Got Your Tongue has the unusual aspect of individualism and perfectionism in the midst of the indie genreNadine Walker Tenement TV
