Baby Animals, one of the most respected and revered rock bands to come out of Australia, are set to embark on a national tour next February to celebrate the release of their single ‘One Word’, which came out 25 years ago and launched their careers.
“’One Word’ was my least favourite song on the album and I begged the label to not even put it on the record!” says frontwoman Suze DeMarchi. “I remember when Dave was recording the intro guitar part how frustrated he was but he ‘played it till his fingers bled’ and it really made the whole track come alive.”
“Now, I love looking over at Dave’s face whenever we start this song and have a private giggle in memory of that day and grateful that, once again, the label didn’t listen to me! It went on to become one of the most memorable and successful BA tracks ever and I love playing it.”
DeMarchi, guitar legend Dave Leslie, bassist Dario Bortolin, and drummer Mick Skelton are still a formidable live act 25 years later and will be playing cuts from their timeless discography alongside ‘One Word’ this February and March.
