My Giddy Aunt
Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
About
Australian indie rock trio My Giddy Aunt could be most aptly described as a rainbow tornado, combining the thoughtful and witty lyricism of singer-songwriters such as Courtney Barnett with a dash of Springsteen-esque drama and genre-defying arrangements in the vein of Gang of Youths and The Cardigans. The Aunts’ stories investigate themes of loneliness, self-expression and queer love, underpinned by memorable songwriting with plenty of heart, passion and often more than a touch of whimsy. Inclusion and self-expression are at the core of the group’s ethos and critters of all stripes will feel welcome at their exhilarating live shows. The “delightfully charming” (Dave Ruby Howe, JJJ Unearthed) trio’s debut album ‘8 Billion Characters in the Worst Movie Ever’ was released in 2024, a project on which their creativity and eclecticism run rampant. MGA surround themselves with characters as unique and strange as they feel, offering a view of the world from an outsider looking in. Highlights include singles ‘Bugs,’ an anthem of insect revolution, and ‘Laika,’ a tribute to the under-appreciated queen of the stars. My Giddy Aunt has performed at the Port Fairy Folk Festival in ‘23 & ‘24 and gigs regularly around their hometown of Naarm (Melbourne), while their recent releases have enjoyed national airplay on JJJ Unearthed, PBS 106.7, SYN 90.7 and JOY 94.9, among others.
