Bio

After releasing Sad Girl Theory’s first single, White Walls & Promises in March, Le Pie told a heartbreaking story of motherhood, love and loss. The track was partnered with a film clip from cutting edge cinematographer, Hannah Dougherty, and a musical score that sounds as though it could sit perfectly on the Twin Peaks soundtrack. The track received praise from Australian media, landing her a full-page feature in Rolling Stone Magazine.

On the flip side of heartache, are the feelings of lust, butterflies and excitement of a new relationship. “Go Unsteady” is the second single to be released from Sad Girl Theory, a romantic indie-pop tune with a hint of naivety. It opens the EP with high hopes, “The night we met, boy you stole my stubborn heart”. The remainder of the EP takes the listener on a journey through the complexities of long-term relationships, motherhood, self-doubt and sadness.

Sad Girl Theory is due for release on May 26 and is available for Pre Order Now.

Tell us about your music. How did you develop your sound?

My music has been described as a cross between grunge and 1950's girl groups. I developed my sound by immersing myself in all sorts of music, playing different instruments in all sorts of bands then write write writing until my own sound and style naturally came through.

What’s your greatest source of inspiration for making music?

#lyf

What can punters expect from a Le Pie live show?

A wall of sound.

What’s the best advice you’ve been given and who was it from?

'Here, have another glass of champagne' - Mum

What Australian track would you play to cheer up someone who was crying?

I'm completely obsessed with 'Endless Drain' by Major Leagues at the moment, it's a jump around the lounge room kinda track.

What Australian track would you play to someone to make them cry?

Knuckles White Dry by Gang of Youths. I haven't spent a lot of time following this band but this track came on the radio a few weeks ago and it captivated me right from the first line, so much raw emotion, I was almost in tears by the end of it.

You’re the DJ at a party. The dance floor is pumping. What Australian track do you put on next?

'Better The Devil You Know' Kylie Minogue, everybody wants to party with Kylie!

What was the last local gig you went to? How was it?

Brighton Up bar with You Beauty, Donny Benet, SPOD, Jack Ladder and Geoffrey O'Connor. How do you think it was!?!?

Tell us about the bands or people in the Sydney music community that inspire you.

There is a really strong female presence in the Sydney music scene right now with the likes of Bloods, Julia Why, Black Zeros. I would like to see someone put on a festival with an all female line up. Wink wink.

What are your plans for the rest of 2015?

Making music, making out.
