W O ND E R C H I L D, the second time round came together as a result of the golden juju vibes from Pippa, Shai & Tao. After a a year of taking a break from leading the original band whilst leader Anna-Kat completed her final year of Jazz at WAAPA, she decided she wanted to take the band & sound in a new direction. After working with Shai, Pippa & Tao for her graduation recital, she begged them to join her in her creative wonderland project - WONDERCHILD, to which they all kindly accepted! Each individual has a super generous vibe when it comes to creating music.
Joni Mitchell, Elton John, Paul Kelly, Missy Higgins, Bowie, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Johnny Cash, Kate Bush, Timothy Nelson, Joel Quatermaine, Anna-Kat's 86 year old grandmother who still rides 2 horses everyday.... her attitude to life largely inspired the lyric.
Tashi, Elkwood, The Lammas Tide, Bernardine Grigson, Ezereve, David Mercy, Morrie Beth & The Tommy Hawks .. The original band was born after a ripping fun cover gig where we played after San Cisco.
Recording with Joel
Just finished recording our first single at Joel Quartermaine's Wastelands studio in Fremantle. Then Anna-Kat just finished shooting the videoclip for the single at her dad's farm in country NSW.
