Description

Hailing from the vibrant and rich music scene of Melbourne AUS, Katie Bates has a heart steeped in great and spirited American music - from The Flying Burrito Brothers and The Band to Nirvana. But there?s many other things at play in Katie?s music. With heavy influence of the grunge and grit of artists such as PJ Harvey, Garbage and Audioslave and aims to blend both her love for Americana/alt-country with alt rock and grunge. Music you can both two-step and head bang to.

Bates has had a busy couple of years, most recently opening for Melbourne rockers, Kingswood, on the Victorian leg of their massive ?Hometowns? tour, and shortly after for Americana singer-songwriter Eilen Jewell (USA). When not playing in her own band, she?s a touring bassist in bands such as Ben Mastwyk & his Millions, Catherine Britt, Dan Brodie, Lachlan Bryan and the Wildes, and USA hailing artists Hannah Aldridge andBen de la Cour - both of whom she has toured the country with multiple times.

?Sultry, intriguing and provocative, with a sound that turns satisfyingly, defiantly snarling, evoking PJ Harvey.? - Sophie Hamley, Sunburnt Country
