About Me



vi·gnette /v?n--y?t/ [vin-yet]
Gargantuan, twisted garage rock is exploding in your face with the chaotic sounds of The Vignettes! Welcome to a world of Massive riffs, psychotic vocals and powerfully pummeling drums, blowing all in their path into oblivion. Fronted by sexually deranged, glam rock banshee Joel the Jester, and backed by the spunky powerhouse of attitude that is skins woman Queen Katie, these are the sounds of world domination!
Having shared the stage with Faker, The Thrills, VHS or Beta, Van She, Young and Restless, The Paper Scissors, Mercy Arms and having played nearly every venue in Sydney and beyond, The Vignettes raw and insane live shows have to be seen to be believed. With their debut EP ‘Out of Home On our Own’ (produced by PNAU’s Peter Mayes and John Hardie) finally complete, The Vignettes are HERE!!!!
