CRAM Article November 2007: LadyBeats Profile

Have you ever been stranded in confusion by an ambiguous text message? Thought about approaching a secret crush but agonised about sneaking or bounding onto their radar? How about staring at the big, fat, round moon and questioning whether it is in fact possible to build an entire music playlist based on space? Are “Hot and Bothered” words you’d use to describe yourself after running the length of a cricket pitch, listening to The Gossip, ogling a well-oiled rock and roll haircut or lying head to toe with the love of your life?

Analyse no more! LadyBeats has considered it all on your behalf!

LadyBeats is a women's music program designed to have some fun with itself and its audience. Each week presenter Jane Curtis selects a juicy theme from the world at large and sources a range of lady tracks. Co-host Jules Stopp adds in her tunes and the result is an hour of current and past women musicians playing rock, indie pop, electronica, world music, folk and hip hop.

But LadyBeats is not just about the music - every week Jules presents writings to tickle and tantalise the theme in play. Then Jane and Jules invite inner-north love wench Candy Quixotic to the mic for a weekly segment about all things relationships, predominantly the dos, don'ts and oops-I-accidentally-just-dids!

Jules is a good for nothing South Australian who has a history of community radio and feminism. She is obsessed with women’s health and will rant anywhere she can to blow up body image ideals and promote DIY Gender. Her passions include tunes, humans, circus, writing and artsy stuff. The colour red is currently her significant other.

Jane has migrated to Melbourne from the tropical north. Her small obsessions include finding new women’s music, public radio podcasts, design of all sorts and indoor plants.

LadyBeats is a program you talk about with your friends, change your outfit 100 times to, dance, sleep in, ride your bike, clean, take a holiday, have a picnic, work and play to. It’s a late night show of suburban girls hankering for a radical existence.

If you’re a local female musician, LadyBeats wants to play your music! Please send CDS to LadyBeats, PO Box 1277 Collingwood VIC 3066.
