Emerging from beloved indie-rock band Bells Rapids (available to hear on soundcloud), Tanaya Harper’s solo project solidifies her as a leading lady of Perth’s original music scene. Her insightful lyricism resonates with audiences as she weaves silken melodies with her experiences of depression, anxiety and living with bipolar disorder. Harper’s debut EP ​Some Kinds​ was released through Melbourne label Healthy Tapes in June 2018. Featuring former bandmate Stella Donnelly, recorded by Nick McKenzie and mixed/mastered by Broderick Madden-Scott, the launch at Rhubarb Records and first run of cassettes sold out almost instantaneously. Starting out in 2017 as a solo live act, Harper has supported the likes of Jen Cloher, Body Type, Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever, Stella Donnelly and Alex The Astronaut. In February 2019, Harper launched a full live band to a sold out crowd at The Bird, with Sara McPherson on bass (Bells Rapids, NEWTALK, Ursula), Luke Del Fante on drums (Ghost Care) and Beau Torrance on guitar and backing vocals (Ghost Care). Harper will be releasing her second EP, ​Don’t Go Outside,​ alongside this new lineup in October 2019. Stay tuned!
