Ratbag with Mel & Sam

Show Notes

Hey cutie pies. SORRY CAN'T STAY CALM WE ARE FREAKING OUT A LIL!! Today we are joined by Jade and Miranda, aka - two of the three members of THE girl group: Blusher!!! (we missed you Lauren!!). We cannot tell you how excited we are for this episode, our Hotline blew up, and we cover a lotttttt of ground. If you don't know already Blusher are a pop-girl-band who are known for their electronic-pop with soaring synths and shit hot fits. They've opened for Kesha, performed main stage at Laneway and even London Pride (no biggie!) We chat everything from opening for Kesha, to how the group formed, we also talk about how their group name came to be and there's even a hint at us collaborating on a musical which PIN. We are pinning!!! (For future reference). We of course open up our Hotline for all your burning questions and then end with a chat about the muffin man, which will make sense one you listen. We cannot thank Jade and Miranda enough for joining us. We hope you enjoy!!

Mel & Sam would like to acknowledge that Ratbag is being recorded on Stolen Land.

The original custodians of this land have had a rich history of storytelling for over 65,000 years, and we pay our respects to the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation whose land we are recording Ratbag on.

Treaties were never signed. Sovereignty was never ceded. Always was and always will be Aboriginal land.
