Joey Bedlam is a singer, songwriter, lover of 1960's fashion, style and architecture.  She is also a model and a graphic designer and a pin-up artist.  DollSquad was Joey's main band for 10 years.  She is now doing some international music collaborations with various bands and writers from Europe and the US.  Even though Doll Squad was courted briefly by Kim Fowley, Joey chose to record DollSquad’s second album with Steve Lucas (of legendary Australian band X) at Bakehouse Studios in Melbourne. Making an album is not like buying a designer pair of jeans. You don’t go to some big-name producer just to get their ‘name’ all over your record. While it was the ultimate compliment to get attention from Kim Fowley, I felt that Australian bands should be utilizing resources at home whenever they can. Having said that there are some immense benefits in international producers for specific sounds that I might be chasing in the future and I am open to that.

i'm a sometimes musician, audioman, soundman, engineer*, never had a degree in psychology. i'd like to work with all the artist i admire, like Jonny G. from Radiohead and the rest of the member of the band. Billy Corgan, Johnie Mayer, and ALL OF YOU MUSICIANS ARTIST. i got support from Sony corporation, line6, and samsung. and last but not least Last.fm. One more thing, that should be in note. All off sounds that i've uploaded is not entirely mine. And i did this because., hm..., maybe i can't put anymore songs on my itunes. 

Formed in 2012, Tell The Shaman is a four piece funk-rock band residing in the suburbs of Perth, WA. Their eclectic multi-genre inspirations and abilities create a uniquely original sound, yet they have a recognisable resemblance to each individual influence. The band consistently delivers high-energy live performances, heavily bass driven grooves, catchy riffs, and aren’t ever short of clever and insightful lyrics.

The group has proven their excellence in previous local band competitions having steadily placed top 3 on five separate occasions in their existence. Featuring in local music festivals, they have received great response as a band that provides a vibrant party atmosphere.

“Home Free” was released as a much-anticipated debut single on October 2015 at The Velvet Lounge to a sold out out crowd, in lead up the bands debut EP. The track accurately depicts a driving bass-line, catchy vocal and guitar melodies, several unique influences and a solid groove throughout.

Tell The Shaman’s front man and rhythm guitarist is Dennis Kooij, who undeniably looks to Jim Morrison (The Doors) as an influence through lyrics, style and persona. Aden Griffiths on lead guitar has multiple metal and funk inspirations that are a large asset in songwriting and creativity within the group. Kristina Craig on the bass guitar adds edge with huge pop and funk energy and feel. Jamie Laval brings tight yet simple grooves and rhythms to the table with a background in reggae and rock.

Played on RTR, WFMU, Little Steven's Underground Garage
