LOTHARIO, Cut Manners

LOTHARIO

Lothario is the visceral, razor-edged solo project of Melbourne's Annaliese Redlich, creating feminist punk anthems for the bored and reckless. Conceived in her bedroom in November 2022, Lothario's music is a raw outpouring of late-night hedonism, encapsulating themes of sex, conflict, and rebellion. Redlich's songwriting offers a cathartic exploration of betrayal, booze, boyfriends, and bullies, challenging listeners to confront their demons and seize their power.

With a lo-fi immediacy, Redlich recorded all instruments (except drums) in her living room, resulting in an urgent, desperate menace that resonates through her lyrics and soundscapes. The songs are love letters to losers, filled with an unfiltered intensity that invites listeners to rage until daybreak.

Live Lineup:

• Shauna Boyle (Cable Ties, Leatherman)
• Elsa Birrel (Shove)
• Beth Lockhart (Dumb Punts, Elvis 2)
• Al Hall (Cutters)

Lothario quickly gained traction, selling out singles through labels such as Goodbye Boozy, Under The Gun, and Wintergarden. Their 13-track debut LP ‘Hogtied’ released in September 2024 sold out in a record 3 months, receiving broad critical acclaim and features in various media outlets.

CUT MANNERS

Cut Manners delivers a powerful sound that flips the bird to capitalists and fascists. Their music ranges from social criticism and dark tales to kitschy love. With a mix of cheeky melodies, aggressive vocals, and atmospheric chaos, they electrify the underground scene.

Musical inspirations include The Stooges, British punk bands like The Damned and Sex Pistols, along with a hefty dose of hardcore punk from Minor Threat, Black Flag, and Circle Jerks. Their energetic performances create a whirlwind of excitement!
