I'm taking it on Solo which is a new trip all of its own.. I've just recorded a couple of loungeroom demos with Syd Green at his Mononest home studio set up and have put them here!! The songs were co-written with Jodi Moore (Violinist/Mando player) from Dirty Lucy..Even though the band is having a break we still get together to create..

Sounds Like: "Nicole Brophy has a voice possessing everything that is good about country singing, with the grunt and raunch of the great female rock tradition thrown in for good measure†Rolling Stone“For those of you wondering where Magic Dirt’s femme-growl went when Adalita discovered power pop, try Dirty Lucy on for size – 10 Ft Tall is an ace bit of churning radio rock with more than a nod to screaming females who went before.†Inpress Magazine
