After live shows at the Reeperbahn Festival 2024 and Golden Leaves Festival 2025, the Australian folk bitch trio are returning to Germany for their first headline tour. The three-piece indie folk band will be stopping off in Hamburg and Berlin in March 2026. Dissociative daydreaming, painful break-ups, sexual fantasies and media overstimulation - all topics that find their place on the Melbourne trio's debut album "Now Would Be A Good Time" and yet leave no current "Twenty Something" untouched. The three early twentysomethings themselves summarize the stories told in their lyrics as "pathetic little tragedies". Fittingly, Gracie Sinclair (she/her), Jeanie Pilkington (she/her) and Heide Peverelle (they/them) formed their trio when they were still attending high school in Melbourne. While Peverelle was a fan of King Krule or Loyle Carner at school and Sinclair mainly listened to hip hop, she secretly united the folk genre in her mind. Having grown up listening to the works of Joni Mitchell and Gillian Welch, Sinclair and Pilkington soon found their common musical home in quieter guitar music. One day, while they were pondering a band name, the name Folk Bitch Trio ironically came to mind, as they were at odds with the associations of the supposedly dusty genre. From then on, they countered this supposed uncoolness among their peers with clever songwriting and a band name that, like their music, resonates even longer. Once deeply immersed in the folk canon, Sinclair, Pilkington and Peverelle discovered songs by Nick Drake and Sharon Van Etten for themselves. The Folk Bitch Trio would later join Van Etten on the roster of the renowned indie label Jagjaguwar with the release of their debut album "Now Would Be A Good Time" in July 2025. In five years of folk-bitch trio band history, they have created a mixture of modern Americana, classic rock and folk. Always with them: their love of timeless balladry and their subtle, casual wit and charm. Musically, the Folk Bitch Trio has been compared to British singer-songwriter Laura Marling and US supergroup Boygenius, among others. One of the three Boygenius frontwomen even personally agreed with the latter: in an interview in 2021, Phoebe Bridgers described Folk Bitch Trio's debut single "Edie" as "Boygenius if it was from the '40s". The Folk Bitch Trio have already toured Australia with composer Rufus Wainwright as support; the musicians covered Kings of Leon's "Sex on Fire" for the famous Triple J format "Like A Version" and finally graced the NME cover including a 5-star review. If you want to experience this musical highlight live, you should secure your tickets quickly!
