Video Interview: Abbe May
Before she appears at this weekend's WAM Festival conference, meet Abbe May.. This weekend sees the WAM Festival take over Perth for a series of conference panels, awards nights and free shows celebrating all things WA Music. For a brief rundown of the nominees (including our own Sable and CIRCO Festivals) and events click HERE, and today please enjoy a video interview with one of the conference's guest speakers - Abbe May. A popular figure round these parts for a number of years, recent times have seen Abbe tackling her solo career with the ferosity that has always been a focus of her music. Last year's album Kiss My Apocalypse was an absolute winner, seeing the artist branching into more electronic realms with a heap of success. She's also one of the most open and honest acts you'll ever come across, making this one of our favourite interviews we've ever had the pleasure of conducting.
