PRESENTED BY ALEXANDRA MELCHIOR
SUZIE STAPLETON’s voice commands a room. In an instant it spirals from a charcoal murmur to a thundering roar "like a 747 taking off." It wraps around words channeled from a primal source sometimes direct, and often disarmingly poetic.
Stapleton has gained a following for her engaging performances, fierce guitar playing, and intelligent songwriting. Her second EP “Obladi Diablo” was released through Beast Records (France) in 2013 during a European tour which included appearances at France’s Binic Folk Blues Festival (Thee Oh Sees, Mikal Cronin) and Colours of Ostrava in Czech Republic (Sigur Ros, Tomahawk, The XX) .
Whilst in London, Stapleton crossed paths with Cypress Grove, the producer of The Jeffrey Lee Pierce Sessions Project. He invited her to record for the project’s third album ‘Axels & Sockets’ which was released in June 2014 (Glitterhouse, Germany) and includes Iggy Pop, Nick Cave, Debbie Harry, and Thurston Moore amongst others. Stapleton appears on the album’s first single “Constant Limbo (Constant Rain)” alongside Mark Lanegan, Crippled Black Phoenix, Cypress Grove, and Bertrand Cantat, as well as album track “My Cadillac”.
Stapleton returns to Europe this November to play shows in France, Germany, Czech Republic, and the UK including International Blues Alive Festival in Sumperk and a support for ex-Bad Seed Hugo Race in London. The tour also coincides with the release of Lydia Lunch & Cypress Grove’s split album “Twin Horses” on which Stapleton cameos. She will return to Australia in December to finish working on her debut full-length release set for 2015.
