Episode 15 - Vika & Linda

I’m going to let you in on a little secret. Making a good record. Is really hard… There are so many choices to make… Think about it? Which song do you record? Which studio? What band? What are you having for lunch? The options are endless!And what if this album would be the first, in 17 years. 

Todays guest are Vika & Linda - one of Australia’s most iconic vocal duos. 

Coming to prominence singing in Joe Camilleri's band The Black Sorrows they went solo in 1994 and released a run of albums, receiving aria noms, a number one record - and continued to feature on some other pretty cool albums with Ross Wilson, Hunter & Collectors, Archie Roach, John Farnham, Deborah Conway and more!

We recorded this chat - this year - yes this is a fresh one folks just prior to the release of ‘The Wait’ their brand new record that is available now. And we take a deep dive into how Vika and Linda make a record. It’s a really fun and interesting look behind the recording process.

Check out new music from my upcoming solo record produced by Louie Shelton and bass legend Nathan East… 

But we kick off the ramble proceedings with just how much has happened in the last 17 years and eventually get to the important things like lunch in the studio… When the best time to record is during covid and sitting in with Billy Joel’s band while on tour with the Piano Man himself.
