 Seven years ago Nicole Brophy and Jodi Moore joined together
to create Dirty Lucy, one of the most promising outfits to
emerge from the Australian music scene in recent times. Powerful
songs delivered with obvious stage chemistry has been luring
crowds across the world ever since. With the added dimension
of Syd Green (ex-iOTA, Mantissa) on drums to their live shows
the energy and sound produced by the three piece is massive. 
Nicole Brophy's vocal arrangements and gritty guitar riffs
teamed with electric violin whines, electric guitar style
mandolin, plus backing vocals from Jodi Moore, create a sound
that challenges the way people perceive roots-based rock music.
This unique cocktail of sound is fast becoming a trademark
of Dirty Lucy.
Growing up on the South Coast of NSW and travelling across
Australia and around the world is huge influence behind Brophy's
lyrical assault. Performing to thousands at some of Australia's
biggest music festivals, her raspy, earthy-lain vocal melodies
and hard-edged guitar style is making a lasting impression
on the world's live music scene.
 Moore's approach with her six-string electric violin fused
with an obscure use of effects is breaking new ground along
with her unconventional low-strung mandolin, grinding out
dirty rhythms and sugary twangs. The non-traditional style
of Moore's extraordinary violin talents has been turning heads
and commanding standing ovations that are fast becoming legendary
in the live scene; reviewers across the globe labeling her
"the Hendrix of the violin."
Dirty Lucy has been receiving consistent and positive press
coverage for their live performances on national television
and international radio and print press. They were no doubt
the talk of the 2002 SXSW Music Conference in Austin, Texas
USA, where they received three standing ovations at their
full house showcase gig. In 2002 Dirty Lucy continued to grow
their fan base at home, headlining their own national tour
and supporting class acts such as The Whitlams, John Butler
Trio, and The Waifs. To kick off 2003, Dirty Lucy were named
as one of the top 10 bands to look out for in Rolling Stone
Magazines Next Wave issue and made huge waves at the
East Coast Blues and Roots Festival in Byron Bay. After ten
months of heavy touring Dirty Lucy have parked the van and
relocated to Melbourne. They are working on new material and in the mean time Nicole has been busy on tour playing guitar and singing in the Kate Miller-Heidke band and working on solo material for an upcoming studio album.
