Genevieve Maynard and the Tallboys

About Me

Sydney-based artist Genevieve Maynards’ career continues its journey with the creation of her new project Genevieve Maynard and the Tallboys.

Genevieve started her music career in the early 90s with indie band Bughouse before becoming a founding member of the successful electro-rock group stella one eleven.

For the past three years Genevieve has pursued the solo route, releasing two albums and two EPs to critical acclaim and national airplay. Her debut album Ghost Notes (2002) spent over 25 weeks in the independent AIR charts and was nominated by Rolling Stone as one of the top ten international debut albums in their end-of year issue.

A desire to continue her explorations of the alt. country genre lead to the formation of the Tallboys, featuring long-time collaborator Richard Anderson (ex Swirl, Genevieve Maynard band) on piano, Stephen Campbell (Bughouse) on guitar, Geoff Martin (Bow Campbells’ Bloody Hell, The Impossibles) on bass, Bryce Jacobs (Josh Pyke) on lap steel and Brian Cachia (stella one eleven, the Margeritas) on drums.

Genevieve owns and manages Revolution Studios in Alexandria, Sydney, and has produced and engineered work for bluejuice (who came in at number 11 in jjj’s Hottest 100 with ’Vitriol’ and have just won the Red Bull AMP award), Melanie Horsnell, and National Top 20 and 100 charting releases for stella one eleven
