Join Cheryl Lee - That Radio Chick on STILL ROCKIN' IT for news, reviews, music and interviews with some of our favourite Australian musicians

A London record deal with EMI, the early grind of cover gigs, six months touring with Van Halen and a festival in the outback that feels like a pilgrimage. Cheryl Lee sits down with Suze DeMarchi, the unmistakable voice of The Baby Animals, for a wide-ranging chat that connects the dots between where an artist starts and how they last.

We talk about Suze’s musical roots and the family soundtrack that shaped her, including the mother she credits as a truly great singer. From there, Suze walks us through the working-band years that taught her how to survive on stage, the leap to the UK, and the “sliding doors” moments that pushed her to back herself as a rock singer. If you love Australian rock history, you’ll want to hear her reflections on massive tours, what that kind of schedule demands, and the stories that still feel too big to fit into one conversation.

Then we bring it back to the present: Baby Animals heading to the Mundi Mundi Bash, what makes the event so special (red dust, huge skies, community, and surprisingly sharp organization), and why Suze calls it quintessentially Australian. 

She also shares where the band’s new album is at, when to expect fresh songs, and what’s coming on the road next year.
