PETER BIBBY - Butcher/hairstylist/beautician (Orange Vinyl)

Asking 'Do you know Peter Bibby?' seems
like the kind of question that might come up
when trying to decipher which mutual friends
yourself and a new acquaintance might
have. For those within a particular bubble of
the Australian music community, however, it
serves as a secret handshake of sorts. The
last ten years has seen this Western
Australian plasterer making some serious in-
roads as one of the country's key musical
cult figures, packing out rooms all over the
country.
An artist who has been celebrated as
inherently working-class and wholeheartedly
independent, Bibby comes by this caution
honestly, having cut his teeth in the rough-
and-tumble underground rock scene
centered around Perth's Hyde Park Hotel in
Western Australia.

Bibby's affable personality has gotten him
plenty of mileage as a live act. He's toured
the U.S. with Pond and performed at the
infamous open mic night at Pappy and
Harriet's in the California desert. He's also
taken the stage at international festivals
such as Laneway, Falls, All Points East,
South by Southwest and South Africa's
Rocking the Daisies while notching his fair
share of rowdy headlining shows.
Bibby's first studio album,
Butcher/Hairstylist/Beautician, has been
repressed for its ten-year anniversary.
