ZSA ZSA LA FINE

Zsa Zsa LaFine is a Sydney based Pop Artist whose music is the product of her training and talent in art, fashion and performance and her adoration of industrial, pop, hip hop and electronic music.

Last year she dropped her debut EP 'Dreamhaus', a collaboration between herself, Simo Soo and Brendan Maclean. It was an enthusiastically welcomed sample size pack of tracks that made rotation on FBi radio and Triple J Unearthed as well as interstate and international play and blog chatter.

Tastemaking blog Who The Hell described Dreamhaus lead single 'Milk' as sounding "like lazers, desert-bound acid-trips and probably some musical influences too"

Her stagecraft and music combine to make a dysphoric synthesis of lowbrow and highbrow with a stylishly sincere irreverence. She's like the love child of a post-apocalyptic femme-fatal and pouty 60's glamor-brat. LaFine is an elegantly crass, theatrically vulgar, singing and dancing, hyperreal sentient femmebot. Always dressed to the nines and ready for a good time.

Zsa Zsa is an artist who pulls references equally from the past and the future/ She turns Kylie Minogue covers into riot grrrl house anthems, shares incredibly personal stories wrapped so tight in an ear-worm hook you won't even realize that you are singing along until the 20th time she's looped through your head and butchers Rammstein into a bubblegum-pop anthem.

Zsa Zsa LaFine will be your favorite artist any day now.
