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.
