Baby Animals, one of the most respected and revered rock bands to come out of Australia, have expanded their February national tour, which will celebrate 25 years since their timeless single ‘One Word’ came out. The band will now play a second show at Max Watts in Melbourne.
The show will be taking place on 25th February and will see Baby Animals joined by Aussie rock veterans Dallas Crane and more recent up-and-comers Palace of the King. Meanwhile, tickets to their first Max Watts show are selling fast.
“’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.
