Michelle Lewis
vocals/ acc and electric guitars

A converted sunroom, somewhere in the Western District of Victoria. She stands poised at the dressing table, power cord in hand, rock-poses perfected, tennis racquet strapped on.The music – Wham, Abba, Cyndi Lauper, The Nolan Sisters (well, it WAS the 80’s!)It was common knowledge amongst the townfolk that Michelle was a gifted child (musically speaking). It was no surprise to anyone then when the much endeared Johnny Not So Young of the Not So Young Talent Team came to town and hand picked Michelle from a hopeful cast of hundreds. “It was easy” said Johnny. “Not only does she have the voice of an angelic angel but she can dance like the wind. Not to mention she’s as cute as a button!”

And so it began – five wonderful years as Tiny Michelle. She quickly became Johnny Not So’s favorite much to the chagrin of the other team members. Things were going along just fine until Little Johnny Bowells came along and upset the apple cart. “Oh he’s so cute”, and “isn’t that boy adorable!” etc etc blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah….
Yes, Little Johnny was big Johnny’s new star!

And so began a downward spiral of red fizzy, lollies, and heavily processed foods of all kinds. Tiny Michelle became not so tiny! The shows producers were alarmed, not alert but ALARMED! Tiny Michelle was becoming unmanageable. Her sweet smile had been replace with a snarl and what is more, she had begun to grow breasts!!! (very large ones for her age).Tiny Michelle’s sexual awakening was to become her downfall. Caught in an unsavoury tryst with Johnny Not So Young and Little Johnny Bowells, Michelle Not So Tiny decided it was time to leave.

So several body piercings later, the artist formally known as Tiny Michelle embarked on a punk rock career. Then one day she met Libby Langford and discovered that country music doesn’t completely suck. The rest is history.
