Wiri Donna has managed to very successfully turn up the ‘rock music’ dial, with her new ‘full’ sound, strong vocals and well-crafted songwriting. To top things off she has surrounded herself with an as well as an exceptionally talented ‘band’ of musicians & artisans around her. With the singles released to date, achieving Top 20 Hot NZ Chart results, sitting for multiple weeks at #1 on the alt airplay charts and receiving solid reviews, things don't look to be slowing down anytime soon!“ 'The Gold' charges with coarse, exhilarating guitar riffs and climactic, crashing drums set against Wiri Donna's striking lyrics” Sniffers
The new record toils with drive and ambition, being met with almost laughable limitations or heartbreaking setbacks. While writing this record Wiri Donna was balancing her own music making journey while continuing to build on her 'other' career in the music industry, producing events and working on festivals. Finding herself during this time surrounded by the most talented and inspiring women and gender diverse folk who were all constantly being undervalued (and underpaid) for their work.
Recorded at Surgery in Newtown with longtime collaborator James Goldsmith. Led by songwriter, guitarist, and vocalist, Bianca Bailey, featuring the incredible talents of Harrison Scholes (Arjuna Oakes, TOI), James MacEwan (Arjuna Oakes), and Elliott Dawson. ‘In my Chambers’ is the record you can rely on to deliver heavy hitting lyricism, explosive guitars and to keep you grooving from needle drop to finish.
“Wellington-based Bianca Bailey makes up for lost time with another slice of wholehearted indie rock with a purpose…With the impressive songwriting backed by muscular guitar riffs.. Rolling Stone
