Fan Girl to start the weeknight. In session for BBC 6 New Music Fix program – recorded on October 15, 2024 at Salford studios.
Fan Girl started as a concept in the minds of Melbourne musician Vincent McIntyre and spiritual wunderkind Jack Wood. Together they began to craft a collection of songs. By divine providence, frontman Noah Harris was contacted while in South Korea, and a fruitful bond ensued as the trio began collaborating on what would become Fan Girl’s first album.
Fan Girl grew to include friends and musicians Dominic Buckham, Luke Thomas and Krish Soorkia, rounding out the group’s live show.
Recorded at Vince’s home studio, and mixed by the wonderful James Cecil (Architecture in Helsinki/Super Melody), Fan Girl’s debut album was released in 2018 to inevitable critical acclaim.
Since then they’ve released a follow-up ep, Real Or Staged on September 5, 2024 and a new single, Flood which came out just a few weeks ago. Right now they are on a tour of the UK and Europe and so far the reception has been very positive. They head back home to Melbourne for a several shows in November and December.
No word on any travels to the States, but there’s always next year.
In the meantime, dive into this session and head over to their Bandcamp site and pick up some vinyl.
