Private Wives

Get ready for this Gold Coast! You’re not gonna know what hits ya, with Private Wives taking the stage with legends Queerbait and Fat Dog and the Tits, it’s going to be a big night at Vinnies Dive!

Private Wives are an all girl punk trio, forming just before the constraints of lockdown in sunny Wollongong. Hard and angry riffs, screaming group vocals and haunting words that makes you want to get down and dirty. With their goal to be a voice for young women like themselves, Private Wives don’t leave out any important info. Born into Wollongong's punk scene post Rad Bar, Private Wives have been keeping busy, playing with the likes of grunge legends Tumbleweed, Tasmanian icons A Swayze and the Ghosts, hitting the stage for King St Carnival with Australian exports C.O.F.F.I.N., getting rotation on radio stations like FBi Radio, 2ser, 2RRR and more around the country, and recently signing with local record label Farmer & the Owl. 

With the release of their debut EP, being recorded by Frenzal Rhomb’s Jason Whalley and mixed by Clem Bennet at ‘Pet Food Factory’, alongside mastering legend Mikey Young, the bands upcoming EP ‘BAD TASTE’ is set to be released April 2023, and it’s not to be slept on. ‘BAD TASTE’ follows a series of stories told from the personal perspectives of members Phoebe, Lucy and Zoe, telling of the struggles and frustrations of being a young woman navigating adulthood. Songs of betrayal, breaking toxic cycles and calling out issues they face head on, with the goal to empower young people to take power imbalances and remodel them, altering the cycle of toxicity and creating a supportive environment for change, Private Wives are unapologetic and fearless. With the fast approaching release arriving, Private Wives are getting ready to set off on their first Australian tour, with the aim to hit venues up in NSW, VIC, QLD and SA, the girls are excited to show the other states what they've been missing out on.
