Much-loved, ARIA award winning, pop/rock duo Bachelor Girl began their meteoric trajectory in 1998 with the anthemic, APRA Song of the Year debut 'Buses and Trains'. The Australian smash hit also made waves in Asia, Scandinavia, Europe and the U.S (signed by legendary A&R Clive Davis, Arista records). Written by James, it was credited as the most played Australian composition in the last 25 years. The formidable coupling of songwriting and band performance excellence is landmarked by the recent announcement of Tania Doko's place in

the top 300 of Triple M's 'Greatest Singers of All Time' list.

Their double platinum album 'Waiting for the Day' spawned a further four chart topping singles, still boasting high rotation today, including Treat Me Good, Lucky Me and Permission to Shine.

With their own hit-studded, dynamic set (including reimagining other loved Aussie and international tunes), Bachelor Girl has become one of Australia's most in demand acts, having also supported international heavyweights including The Eurythmics, Simple Minds, The Goo Goo Dolls, John Farnham and Icehouse. As songwriters, producers and friends for over 30 years, the chemistry between Tania and James remains strong; their shared and continuing passion to release 'thinking person's pop', has them currently co-creating a massive, 25th anniversary celebratory album, to be unleashed early 2026.

Acknowledgement of Country

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities. These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years. As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
