If you could bottle Nina Hagen, Tom Waits, Annie Lennox, Prince, Laurie Anderson, Cyndi Lauper and the Pointer Sisters, and Australia had an answer, it would have to be Maiden Speech. Almaryse Murphy and Pascalle Burton bring theatrical, innovative, mind-bending Poetry-Pop.
Maiden Speech are sister act Almaryse Murphy (she of the silky vox) and Pascalle Burton (Queensland Poetry Festival Slam winner 2006/Woodford Folk Festival Slam Deluxe winner 2006/07).
Joining forces on Pascalle's return from the UK, they have been freebasing ideas and creating their own breed of Poetry-Pop.
They are inspired by the ground-breakers of the 80's and aim to bust open the genres with new fusions of wordplay, funk and theatre.
The Maidens' self-titled debut album (produced by Ant Aggs and mixed by Magoo) has just been released and the track Don't Be Afraid of the 80's has already hit the Triple J airwaves. Request the track here!
To hear them is one thing - to experience Maiden Speech live takes it to another level. Are you a rebel? Have you ever danced with the devil? They have been likened to a female cross between Tenacious D and Salt-N-Pepa.
The 2007 Maiden Voyage Tour of the UK and Cyprus had The Maidens following a hectic schedule, including the Latitude Festival, headlining at The Fly, and playing venues Madame Jo Jo's, Club 333 and The Vibe Bar.
And since landing back in Oz, it doesn't seem to slow down! The coming months see performances at the Queensland Poetry Festival, Brisbane Writers Festival, Brisbane Cabaret Festival and Woodford Folk Festival.
“The songs sounded excellent, you have the chops and the ideas. Brilliant... You are certainly playing in a wide open area there, no one else for miles around!” Dave Graney
"you must go listen to maiden speech…they remind me of the david byrne musical I saw last year based upon the life of imelda marcos. if you weren't there and were in brisbane you missed something."Andy White
“[Leonard] Cohen’s Gypsy Wife, performed by a group of women called Maiden Speech, with some really wonderful singing, combined with kitsch visual (and occasionally lyrical) interplay with Pat Benatar’s Love is a Battlefield! It could have been truly awful, but it was fabulous.” Senator Andrew Bartlett - Democrats
"Maiden Speech is the kind of act you never knew you had to see.
It's a bit like being sucked into a kind of spunky time vortex. Maiden Speech is disarming, unforgettable, and more than a few 80s skips past refreshing. That being said, simply listening to Maiden Speech only gives you half the picture. They're the kind of group you need to SEE to come close to appreciating." Jacob Diefenbach
"Brisbane duo Maiden Speech are putting the groove back into spoken word. Their live show is an all singing, all dancing wordfest; an irresistible blend of pop, poetry and performance art to get even the most rhythmically challenged on their feet, shaking their hips." Graham Nunn
"Think of an electro lounge cruise of the mind with Nina Hagen as your captain, Gary Numan as the head chef and Prince serving the cock tails...think HMS Maiden Speech." David 'Ghostboy' Stavanger

NEW GROSS PROPHET EP ETHIC AVAILABLE ON Fwonk* TOTALLY FREE!
From the site: Gross Prophet returns to Fwonk* with a second EP of intense glitchery, square wave synths and pounding beats, bringing to mind the works of Aphex Twin or Kid 606. The beats stay arhythmic and the production is crisp, distorted and off kilter in all the right places.
