Jeane Frontwoman Jazz Johnston on Debut EP 'Sicko'
Jazz Johnston, frontwoman of Melbourne/Naarm-based band Jeane, discusses their debut EP 'Sicko' ahead of its release. The band includes Luke Moseley, Pelaya Arapakis on drums, and Connor Black Harry on bass. The EP is a reworked version of an earlier project, with two songs saved from the previous EP. Johnston produces and engineers the music alongside Moseley in their home studio. The band name pays homage to David Bowie's 'The Jean Genie'. The concept of 'sicko' reclaims the term, inspired by Johnston's religious upbringing and attitudes toward female sexuality. Johnston describes their music as 'a little cheeky arse slap from your best friend, while you're mid-cry.' The interview appears in issue 132 of frankie magazine.
