Clairsy & Lisa's Perth Pub Crawl interview session rounded out with the incredible Suze Demarchi. The guys asked her about her about an iconic gig at the Cat and Fiddle in Mt Lawley and the moment she knew she wanted to make music.
The guys fanned out and asked a bunch of questions including her favourite venues, her time living in London and was she competitive with her sister? Suze recounts the time she was electrocuted at a Sunday session and Lisa asked if she thought she would still be touring forty years on.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
I must really be seeing a man at work song
to twelve hundred people and men at work be down
the road. I only did the people party in the venies,
but the bands was a.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Wavelonge Colesy and Li says.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Perth Pub Crawl at Pinocchio's Magnet House is resurrecting Pinocchio's
for one night only.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
Magnet House, a mecca of dance and diversity right in
the heart of the city. Wrapping up our Perth Pub
Crawl series today, we saved the best for lasses. It
okay to say that Sou's Demarchi from The Baby Animals
is joining us.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Hallo, hey guys, how are you very well?
Speaker 3 (00:31):
We've had such a wonderful time. This as our second
pub crawl actually so for you. It all started with
photo play and I read that you still clearly remember
your very first gig at the Cat and Fiddle in
Mount Lawley.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
Because well, you never forget your first.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
But also you left that night knowing, without a shadow
of a doubt that you'd found your calling.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
I think I knew that that was what I was,
you know, going to do with my life. I mean,
you know, you're so you're so sort of dumb and
blind to everything. At that age, you just got full
of opportunity and you kind of think everything's possible and
ed it is. But that was the moment where I
just thought, you know, I I love this, this is
(01:20):
kind of my thing. I'm going to you know, I'm
going to have a go at.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
This because I'm seventeen. That is Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
I was seventeen in my first band, and I was
with Photoplayed for two years and I just kind of
it wasn't like a you know, I kind of just
always loved guitar and I always loved singing, and so
you know, that was sort of the beginning of it all.
That was the first time I realized I wasn't nervous
at all the first gig. It was the second gig
that's ah.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Yes, And wasn't the applause. Was it applause in a
public places? It was part of that thing that.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
It's all of it. It's all of it. It's the
it's the idea of the band thing for me because
I've done solo, I've done the band thing, and the
bad thing is just always I just don't like the
solo thing. I much rather be in a group of
people just hanging out. Yeah, solo stuff is just this
more pressure. It's boring, it's just not into it.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
I like it's more fun in that numbers definitely, it's
funny numbers, yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
And having a lot of fun. But I'm the nerd
who's got twelve boxes at home in my garage of
old Rolling Stone magazines and I found the one of
you from thirty three years ago, the front of the
Australian Rolling Stone Thank You very Much from June of
nineteen June of nineteen ninety two is a great photo
of your mug.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
Oh, that is spectacular.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
How did you go all along with fame and people
wanting to take your photo? Did that sit well with you?
Especially in the Baby Animals got big as well, But
even in the early days, yeah, I'll.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Tell you what though, we weren't really famous. I mean
we were sort of well known, but we didn't really
have that kind of super same that people have. No.
We just and also, to be honest with you, when
that album was big and the band sort of blew up,
we were away touring. We came back after a couple
of years. We toured after that in Australia, like we
(03:09):
toured after that album went to number one and then
I don't know. I think also that's the other reason
I've been in a group is kind of you just
sort of together, are you? We say, in on off our,
it's like you do this, you get in, do the gig,
you get you know, on off out you sort of
don't hang around. But to be honest with you, we've
got fans from back in the from the very beginning
(03:32):
that are still with us.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
Absolutely.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
It's wild. Yeah, We've We've done the whole journey with them.
So I feel like it's a real honor when people
come up and want to do a photo and they
love the music, and that's really what it's about.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
You know, that's the quality of the songs. That's the thing.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
I guess it is. I hope it is. I think
the song is what carries any success in a band.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
You know, some of those people all have been there
at the Cat and Fiddle on that very What what
were your favorite venues around town to play at other
than that one?
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Wow, there was a lot, and that's so we were
so lucky. There was a lot of venues. We'd do
the Shenton Park Blazers. Gosh, what was the other one.
I mean we do the UNI. They used to do UNI. Yes,
I'm shown to the UNI.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
They were great.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
I mean that was the thing. We do the UNI
show on a Friday lunchtime. We pack up. This is
in fire to play pack up. Then we'd go and
do the Shenton Park three sets, mind you. Then we'd
pack up and we'd go do Blazers.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
I loved going to the Shenton Park. It's it's a
retirement home now.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
So I feel like Circle on Nicholson Road last week
and I would live there.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Later later I would go there. Yeah, I remember, actually
I think I remember. I was there a few years
ago over Yeah, but you know the other gigs. There
was Hernando's Highway, there was there was the ones down in.
I got electrocuded at the ab H on Sunday Sunday session.
(05:12):
I got a kicked back from the mic because I
went on stage with no shoes. The floor, the little
there was a bit of a dodgy connection. As soon
as my lips hit the mic, I got thrown back
into the drum kit. Oh wow, and had a big burn.
There was a burnmark around the mic. Yeah, oh yeah,
(05:34):
it's all happened.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
It was part of the show.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Yeah, I thought it was. Yeah, we were the original v.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
I love it. But would there have been many times
you played a gig or multiple gigs with photo playing.
The next morning you're trying to count those annoying orange
twenty dollar notes at the Aroni Bank. Did that happen
a bit?
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Oh my god? Well, I swiftly left the bank. I
only left school because my sister was working in the bank.
My disease is working in the bank. And then Mum
and dad said, yeah, you can leave if you want,
but you have to go work. So I got this
job and I lasted a year. I think I quit
(06:13):
before they were going to buy me, and I don't
I was terrible. I was terrible at that. But yeah, well.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Of Denise, she's also a musician, still performing around town plenty.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
Was there ever much rivalry between the two of you.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
There was a little bit. It was funny. It was
like we were always so supportive, but then we were
I mean, I do take account a little bit of
accountability because I dragged her into it a little bit
when we were doing we did the kids this couple
band for a little while, and that kind of started
her in the band. Stuff, and then and then she
(06:52):
came over to Sydney and everything did all her other stuff.
But there wasn't rivalry. It was more like a one
upman ship. It's like, oh, yeah you did don't Oh
you know, I know I did that to you. Yeah. No,
it's a healthy kind of sisterly. You know. We love that.
You know, we get to i mean do stuff together.
(07:14):
That we started sort of a little bit together. We all,
you know, we're back in the Kevin Pete Trevors Spence
to Day's. Denise did a lot of work with those guys.
She's really talented and I you know, I love her
voice and I love singing with her, and yeah, it's great,
it's great. We have a lot of stories.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Well you you went from Perth a pub scene to London,
moving to London in the mid eighties to pursue a
solo career. On a scale of one to ten, how
scary was that?
Speaker 2 (07:41):
I mean, see, that's the thing. I didn't really know
what I was in for until I sort of did it. Yeah,
I was just no, No, I wasn't scary. I was excited.
I was like, bring it on, I was I was
a bit scared once I got there. Yeah, but that
sort of didn't last song. I had actually a great
I've fell into Peter Lister Todd giving me guidance, so
(08:05):
he was the guy that was always there. It's actually
still in my life. We still see each other, stay
in touch. Peter Lister Todd was was my manager at
the time, and he was always a real guide and
kept me sorted in line because it I went crazy
in London. I just went off like I was twenty one.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
I think I put it was the eightiesfe eighties living it.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
I had a record deal with them. I ridiculous. It
was mental. Yeah, I can't even need to take a
whole show. I can't. It was so great. It was
so much fun. And I put three singles out in
four years, Like what is that with a big record label? Nothing,
but I had a lot of fun.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
It was not prolific the time.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Yeah, we're still not that prolific, still having And.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Then of course it was it was home, but it
was baby animals, as we talked about saying, not that famous,
but I guess you didn't have enough time at home
to be hassled on the street that much.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
So she ran not much.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
We do we don't we you know, occasionally, but yeah,
you know, yeah, it's always like in a good way,
you know, it's not like a crazy.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Yeah yeah yeah. But Baby Animals, Baby, that debut album
just it did blow up. I didn't know. There's so
many great, great songs.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
It blew up. Yeah, it was mental. I couldn't. I
couldn't father that. You just kind of got to go
along with it all.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
As was the way though, of course, the way we
were situated with us scene back then in the in
the late eighties, you had to kind of had to
move to Sydney to do it. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Yeah, there was no labels in Perth. No, And you
know what was really I was very lucky because I
got I kind of got involved with Kevin Peek and
Travis Spence, you know all that story that they were
Australians who lived in England for twenty years before that,
and they Kevin Peak was in Sky Wonderful, he's no
(10:04):
longer with us, but they started a Woman Records, so
I had a sort of a little taste of a
labeling sort of thing. They saw a video that I
had done in photoplay and then we got talking and
I did a little small deal with them, and that's
how I got the deal with the m I in
London because they're all of their connections with there. But
(10:24):
I did a lot of recording with them. Kevin had
a studio up in rolling Stone, unreal beautiful property and
a gorgeous little studio location for it, gorgeous location, and
you know, and I did a lot of studio work there.
So they were really helpful in so learning just how
to record, Like I didn't know how to you know,
(10:44):
get how to get up to the mic and not
to move too far back and all that kind of technique,
you know.
Speaker 5 (10:49):
Not to get not to get excuted at it and
actually no, but Photoplay taught me everything I needed to
know about being in a band, you know as well
those two years.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Yeah, so I used to steal my sister's foreigner Pink
Floyd and Joe Wolsh records. Which ones are your brothers
did you steal? Do you remember.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Budgy Hawk Quinns. It was ten years after l Yeah,
al later all of all of the English seventies kind
of rock ane.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
Yeah, everyone everyone had a little guilty you know, that
was them.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Yeah, yeah, that's great.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
And and you know, I used to. I used to
practice Echo Beach and it was one of the first
songs I learned on guitar.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Yeah, yeah, I was in my final year of school
in eighty four.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
That song was that together.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Yes, yes, we would do we were definitely.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
My job was very boring. I'm an office clerk.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
And now the Baby Animals, Yeah, the first girl, we
should do that.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
Baby Animals continue to tour up until this day, and
you know it's one of WA's.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
Australia's most successful exports.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Did you ever think back at the start that you
would still be touring and performing and loving it as
much as you still do?
Speaker 2 (12:11):
For I hoped I would. I don't think I really
thought I hoped I would, But I don't think I
thought that at the time. I thought of probably burn
out or whatever. But I just every time I walk
on a stage, I'm still really grateful. I did a
show on the weekend in perfectly in Northern at the festival,
(12:33):
which was unbelievable. By the way, I had no idea.
It's a hot air balloon. Capital were there and Frank
and Eddie were there, and they were were there proud
Mary Baron and so that was really a fun little
we didn't Yeah, it was. It was great, but we're
good now, we're all that's good. Yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
From that first album.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Yeah, yeah, So I never thought that, you know, I'm
sixty one now. I didn't think I'd still be doing it,
but I I you know, I look at people like
Suzi Quatro and yeah, I love her because she's She's
always been an inspiration to me. And I get to
play with her now.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
Yeah, and we call her Leather Tuscadero.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
I went into her addict, I went into I stayed
her house in England. She took me up to her
ego rooms. She I had a cheer in my eye.
I went up and I was like touching the leather
and her old leather jumpsuits.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
It's the.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Room in the attic.
Speaker 1 (13:36):

her last year and she told us about Elvis had
a crush on her and tell us all kinds of
sh Yeah.

great woman.

you know, yeah, it's always like in a good way,
you know, it's not like a crazy.
Speaker 1 (09:20):

just it did blow up. I didn't know. There's so
many great, great songs.

couldn't father that. You just kind of got to go
along with it all.

were situated with us scene back then in the in
the late eighties, you had to kind of had to
move to Sydney to do it. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Yeah, there was no labels in Perth. No, And you
know what was really I was very lucky because I
got I kind of got involved with Kevin Peek and
Travis Spence, you know all that story that they were
Australians who lived in England for twenty years before that,
and they Kevin Peak was in Sky Wonderful, he's no
(10:04):
longer with us, but they started a Woman Records, so
I had a sort of a little taste of a
labeling sort of thing. They saw a video that I
had done in photoplay and then we got talking and
I did a little small deal with them, and that's
how I got the deal with the m I in
London because they're all of their connections with there. But
(10:24):
I did a lot of recording with them. Kevin had
a studio up in rolling Stone, unreal beautiful property and
a gorgeous little studio location for it, gorgeous location, and
you know, and I did a lot of studio work there.
So they were really helpful in so learning just how
to record, Like I didn't know how to you know,
(10:44):
get how to get up to the mic and not
to move too far back and all that kind of technique,
you know.
Speaker 5 (10:49):

actually no, but Photoplay taught me everything I needed to
know about being in a band, you know as well
those two years.

much as you still do?
Speaker 2 (12:11):
For I hoped I would. I don't think I really
thought I hoped I would, But I don't think I
thought that at the time. I thought of probably burn
out or whatever. But I just every time I walk
on a stage, I'm still really grateful. I did a
