THE WAIFS ‘IRONBARK’ DEBUTS AT NUMBER 1 ON ARIA CHARTS

Swamp House News & Reviews

Eight albums and twenty-five years later, The Waifs just got their first ARIA #1! ‘Ironbark’ flew into the charts this week to take the top spot.

The Waifs

It’s 25 years since West Australian sisters Donna and Vikki Simpson (now Vikki Thorn) joined forces with Josh Cunningham to create one of the country’s best-loved bands. Since releasing their debut, self-titled album in 1996 The Waifs have established a strong and loyal fan-base worldwide, built on the relentless touring they did in Australia in those formative years, playing in any town that would have them, honing their stagecraft and their song-writing skills along the way. Ironbark, the group’s eighth studio album, is a thank you to those thousands of fans who have stuck with them at home and overseas, and a fitting one given the quality of the material.

The Waifs will be touring nationally through March and April, tickets on sale now:
