DESCRIPTION:
LeighStarDust has been showing up fashionably late to performances since 1997. Between-song-banter is her raison d´être and her quirky poptastic mix of Casio and vocals has earned her many a dubious offer. Her 2002 debut EP, Manly Detectives sat at the top of local radio station 3Ds charts for several weeks and came in at number 17 in the 2002 Top 100+1 for 3D. In 2003, LeighStarDust played at the Big Day Out with her then-band, Hello Minnesota. She was voted Best Solo Performer (Female) by the readers of dB Magazine in 2003, 2004 and 2005. Her 2005 EP, They Make Good Pets (But I
Dont Have One) also rode high in 3D charts and won Best EP in the dB Readers Awards for that year, and the LeighStarDust's first video clip was made to showcase the title track of the EP. 2006 highlights for LeighStarDust included performing at the 2006 Adelaide Cabaret Festival,
making a guest appearance during the Adelaide Symphony Orchestras Edge 1: Rewrites concerts and appearing on the soundtrack to Australian feature
film, Shot of Love. Since then shes released Every Other Bumblebee(2007), supported the awesome Peter Combe and started pulling back on the gigging front with a view to writing piles of new songs about puppies. That said, this video shows LeighStarDust in a rare 2009 performance at the Whitmore Square Arts Fair, an excellent day featuring a variety of creative art formats!
