Three best friends become indie folk sensation

When Folk Bitch Trio pick up the phone from a night off in Brooklyn as they gear up for an upcoming show in Los Angeles, there’s an ease between the three of them that's instantly noticeable, the kind that only longtime friends, and now collaborators, can pull off.

The Melbourne-based group of Gracie Sinclair (she/her), Jeanie Pilkington (she/ her), and Heide Peverelle (they/them) has been singing together for five years, long before their debut album “Now Would Be a Good Time” began earning praise for its blunt storytelling, harmonies, and fearlessness.

But the story of Folk Bitch Trio starts even simpler, with one gig they “just kind of ran with.”

“We took our first gig and just kind of ran with it,” Sinclair reflects over the phone with a laugh. “We took it seriously, seriously enough that it felt like a job, but still fun. That balance has always worked for us. We've just taken everything as it’s come, and it’s been rolling ever since.” That relaxed, almost unexpected beginning became the seed of something much deeper. Music wasn't a forced decision, it was a natural extension of their friendship. When asked what it’s like to move through the world as a band of three, their answer is as straightforward as it is heartfelt.
