“You can keep your popstars, here’s an idea for a new reality TV show. Enlisting only the underprivileged and homeless, hand them nothing more than an acoustic guitar and see how many of them can conjure up a song capable of capturing the spirit of a generation. This is exactly what Diana Anaid achieved with her debut single “I Go Off” way back in 97.” XPRESS magazine
Remaining fiercely independent, In 2007 Diana released a highly anticipated live and acoustic CD, (recorded at an unforgetable show in her home town, Nimbin) a collection of her past radio hits called ‘Live At The Bush Theatre’, which included top 10 songs, ‘I Go Off’ ‘Perfect Family’ and ‘Last Thing’.
"...songs that cut right to the listeners soul with brave and unsparing views of everyday life (hers is a) story of affecting people with pure music rather than media gymnastics." Michael Molenda, Frets Magazine, USA.
"...After ten years of hard work, this staunchly independent and single-minded artist remains convinced that good songs, rather than a stylist and makeover, will win out" Kathy McCabe, Daily Telegraph, March 22 2007
“’....great radio songs with memorable hooks. Aside from ‘Last Thing’, other strong tracks are the lyrically clever ‘Dumb Opinion’, which swells with emotion…the first time I heard it, I was sold!” Julie Kertes R&R Mag USA
"This is her reality, still the heart and soul of a woman capable of "going off". No pretense, nothing to hide, take it or leave it. It’s obvious why the guy that helped put No Doubt on the map, Paul Palmer, picked up on her." Michael Smith, Drum media.
From Diana’s self financed debut to her second release in 99 ‘I Don’t Think I’m Pregnant’ being lauded as ‘one of the best rock records of the decade’ Danny Murphy, Revolver Mag, Diana Anaid established herself locally and internationally as a force to be reckoned with.
“Losing none of the angry rock chick edge, yet also incorporating a fresh maturity, Anaid’s latest release is a representation of the strength she epitomizes” Natalie Arnull Scene Magazine
Diana’s next studio single, Cheatin’ On Me, features a re-mix by Josh Abrahams (‘Totally Addicted To Bass’), and returns Diana to her acoustic driven and in-your-face, original sound which has secured her ten years in the industry and electrified her die-hard legion of fans.

Buy "Live At The Bush Theatre" @

hi friends,

Also, iTunes now have the Diana Anaid Live At The Bush Theatre CD available for you!!

Iconic Aussie rocker Diana Anaid returns to Oz, fresh from her successful American visit, to delight fans with shows booked over the east coast throughout the coming months. Diana promises to warm up your winter after slaying the US earlier this year with stunning showcase performances at the International Folk Alliance in Memphis and further shows on the west coast at legendary LA clubs The Mint, Hotel Cafe and the Knitting Factory, where she brought down the house.
Diana will soon be returning to these and other venues including House Of Blues in LA and the Viper Room, as well as to record the follow up CD to 2005’s critically acclaimed Beautiful Obscene with indie producer Ted Hutt (Flogging Molly, MXPX).
A pioneer of female acoustic indie music, with over 40 new songs written to date, Diana and band will be performing many of these at their upcoming gigs such as Brisbane’s Massive Sounds Music Festival and the Brisbane Waterloo Hotel’s final closing bash.
Diana’s latest single Cheatin' On Me is to appear on Nova’s upcoming 4play comp CD and is a collaboration with dance guru Josh Abrahams “Totally Addicted To Bass”. Cheatin On Me is recieving great reviews and airplay throughout Europe and the US and sees Diana embrace the sounds of electronica and dance with style.
Never one to fear breaking down barriers and crossing musical borders, Diana, since her self-financed CD with the hit I GO OFF, with just guitar and voice, has remained an edgy, gutsy and original performer. Fans admire and adore the rags-to-riches rocker best known for her uncompromising lyrics, voice and energetic live shows.
A steadfast member of the Aussie music industry, Diana has shared stages with fellow acoustic muso’s John Butler, Xavier Rudd and Pete Murray as well as rocking crowds with Grinspoon, Powderfinger and Frenzal Rhomb and wears the crown of being the first acoustic chick to ever play the Vans Warped punk rock festival.
With 5 ARIA nominations, 4 indie cd’s and a stack of national tours under her belt, Diana’s maintained 10 years in the music industry through the strength of her songs and performances, hers is a story of affecting people with pure music, rather than media gymnastics. With songs that cut right to a listeners soul with brave, unsparing views of everyday life, it's no wonder she’s got a growing fan base all over the world, and plenty more to come.
