Apart from being able to execute the perfect human pyramid, the girls have taken Ronnie’s originals and arranged them for cello, flute, piano, guitar, harmonica, voice, percussion, drums and your refined ear. And there are only 3 or 4 of us. Think enthusiasm, irreverence and energy not stodgy classical deliveries. Beneath our larrikin exterior there beats 3 or 4 hearts of sheer class, arse and shameless self-promotion. Jarrad Payne features on drums and percussion for the big shows inc Europe. We'll frock-up to dress you down! Jarrad probably won't though.
The “OUTHOUSE ORCHESTRA” specializes in ritzy private events, high- society debauched corporates, classy culture centres, wineries where we might even play some music and then there's the European festival circuit as well. We’re great at funerals too as long as they're original.
Marie Suzanne de Lint (alt.flute, harmonica, keyboards, vocals)
Despite being groomed for the National Opera Company, Netherlands, catwalk modelling and KLM, Marie chose to turn her back on it all in order to be part of the “Outhouse Orchestra”. Since Marie’s migration to Adelaide, the “OO” has enjoyed such immediate artistic and financial success that Marie is forced to remain a vet specialising in alt.euthanasia. Might also have a favourite flower.

Amanda Goodfellow (alt.cello, vocals)
After years of classical training, Amanda’s big break came only recently with the advent of the “Outhouse Orchestra”. Amanda also plays a mean bass guitar riff complete with all the moves. When not performing, Amanda enjoys growing vegetables and feeding her chickens.

Ronnie Taheny (alt.piano, guitars, cello, vocals)
Ronnie tours Europe four months a year mostly from jail cell to jail cell so she usually can’t wait to return to Adelaide and all things “Outhouse Orchestra”. As alt.composer for the band, Ronnie chooses to live the life of the alt.tortured artist every day whilst still living. “Why wait to be dead for 200 years before enjoying the inevitable fame and acclaim ?” she enquires, “I intend to be fondly remembered as one of history’s great alt.composers right now complete with rudimentary tantrums, intermediate madness and, hopefully, advanced syphilis.”

Hey guys, thanks for looking us up! Had a great time at Sarah's last night. You sounded awesome! I'm jealous!! Hope to see you again soon. Cheers, Kate :)
Nice stuff guys! Toilet-based music is great. But we need to organise ourselves better so we don't have concurrent gigs. Also, this looks dangerously close to Ronnie Taheny on myspace, which I think is one of the signs given in Revelations.
