Edit history

Singer/songwriter/guitarist Beck Payne misspent her youth on Victoria’s West Coast while singer/songwriter/bass player, Roz Smith survived the western suburbs of Sydney. Two worlds collided in Cooktown (4 and a half hours north of Cairns) when they decided to create fast, emotionally driven, in your face rock songs. After ten years of playing local gigs, fundraisers and festivals, the Belles are spreading their wings and venturing south. Last year, 2015 Barefoot Belles supported Melbourne punk band Clowns, the Brisbane based Flanjipanis in Cairns and completed their second CD “Drill and the Gun”. They provide a fun, energetic live show, screaming songs of social injustices and emotional circumstances reminiscent of the 80’s pub rock scene. Comparisons range from L7 and New York Dolls to Divinals and Courtney Barnett. Either way Barefoot Belles always deliver.
