Girls With Boy Names... Posted by Music 11 June, 2009 - 8:50 AM

Who Are They?

They are 18 year old singer/songwriters Charlie Thorpe (Dash) and Josie De Sousa-Reay (Will). Hailing from Melbourne they have been performing, writing songs and being besties since a young age.

Dash and Will fun fact #1: Their stage names come from their parents’ choice if they were to be born boys.

What Do They Sound Like?

Musically they are an edgy pop/alternative mash with unique voices coming together perfectly for the light-hearted fun in their tunes.  A standout is 'Pick you Up' - it will be stuck in your head for ages!

Personally they come across as down to earth 18 year olds with all the trimmings: cool hair, check, funky clothes, check, Lily Allen bangs, check.  Don't forget to love them for their anti-Veronica's feel too (yeah, I went there).

Dash and Will fun fact #2: They were discovered and are now produced by Barry Palmer, a lead member of the famous band Hunters and Collectors.

Want To Know More?

Debut EP Out Of Control is full of catchy and totally danceable songs AND its out now. Check out their June tour dates and get your free MP3 download at http://www.myspace.com/dashandwill.

When you’re there take a listen to the techno-ised version of 'Out Of Control' and note it sounds like it’s just jumped off a Ministry Of Sound cd.

Is that a good or a bad thing? I love a good dance tune as much as the next girl but do all song these days have to be remixed? Boo hiss to remixing Dash and Will! Tell me you agree?

Till next week…
