Today, Naarm / Melbourne based Folk Bitch Trio continue expanding their musical odyssey, announcing an extensive world tour this September – November with new single and video ‘God’s A Different Sword’ out now. Tickets are on sale from Friday 16 August at 10am local time. LISTEN HERE + WATCH HERE + BUY TIX HERE.

The partnership of Gracie Sinclair (she/her), Jeanie Pilkington (she/her) and Heide Peverelle (they/them) boast inventive vocal arrangements and warm instrumentation at the striking intersection of the grounded, beyond-their-years conversationalism of Laura Marling and the lightly wrought swirl of Grizzly Bear or The Japanese House. Continuing their ascent today with ‘God’s A Different Sword’, Folk Bitch Trio showcase their resplendent three-part harmony – signature to their longstanding creative collaboration.

As the trio explain: “‘God’s A Different Sword’ speaks to relinquishing a pattern but indulging in the habit ‘just one more time’. The song was produced by us and Tom Healy during a fleeting stop in Auckland, Aotearoa this winter, while we were in town supporting Ben Howard. The lyrics are exasperated and questioning, so we wanted them to be held by instrumentation that is optimistic and open. The video, made by our dear friend Bridgette Winten, shows us gallivanting around our stomping grounds in Naarm, where this song was written and born.”

Folk Bitch Trio manifest a unique kinesiology of relaxed indie-folk with a quietly confident, assured underbelly. Born out of what they describe as a “mutual love for songwriting and truth-telling,” most significant to their rise and consistently captivating to their craft is the joy they take in making music together — it surges with the power of friends and collaborators executing a unified vision.

What began as an unserious collaboration at some local shows, has quickly led Folk Bitch Trio to share stages with acts like Alex G, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, Julia Jacklin and Courtney Barnett. In 2023, they released the singles ‘Analogue‘ and ‘I Heard‘; Rolling Stone described the latter as “resplendent in gorgeous harmonies and confessional songwriting”; and Phoebe Bridgers shouted them out on triple j. From packed out BIGSOUND showcases, the group performed a triumphant run of shows at SXSW Austin earlier this year.

Folk Bitch Trio’s world tour is a massive undertaking that includes, in order: a series of shows in the UK and Europe including dates with The Teskey Brothers and Cat Clyde as well as a headlining London performance; a support run alongside M. Ward across the U.S.; and a lengthy headlining tour of Australia.
