So often female musicians get stuck inside twee, acoustic, folky pigeonholes a la Frankie magazine. Or maybe they’re the leather clad, full-fringed, heavily kohled eyed sex goddess of sorts. Not that there is anything wrong with either of these musical styles, it just makes me sad when women (or record labels) feel like they gotta be one or the other. One of my favourite bloody things to do is to watch girls rockin’, doing their thing without any pretence or contrived “femme” awareness.
Diana Rozz are the Auckland based trio who are doing just that. Their five track EP Numbskull is deliciously rebellious and loud. Walk On By is a melodic dream, and my stand-out track. The Miseducation of Diana Rozz features a screaming, throat rattling reinvention of Beyonce’s Crazy In Love and Lady Gaga’s Telephone. Classic.
