Wendyhouse


In a pre-apocalyptic time – long before Billie and Finneas Eilish were born, let alone made the sound of an Australian crosswalk buzzer into a hit beat – there was Wendyhouse, making music out of the sound of wet tyres on a wet road, of a cash register registering, of toy instruments squawking like a dance party in a kindergarten.

Established in 1992, they’ve been experimenting with guitars and “C-A-S-I-O” Casiotones, and popping up weird with varying degrees of regularity ever since.
