The group performed God’s A Different Sword, the tender highlight from their debut album, Now Would Be A Good Time. Folk Bitch Trio’s Colbert performance follows their recent Like A Version debut, where they put their own spin on Kings Of Leon’s Sex On Fire.

Stephen Colbert’s #LateShowMeMusic Series spotlights rising stars as well as new music from his famous friends in a weekly music discovery program. Folk Bitch Trio join recent performers Rise Against, Hudson Westbrook, Madilyn Mei, Aloe Blacc, and others.

Folk Bitch Trio’s performance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert arrives at the perfect time, as in just two weeks, the group are set to begin a North American and Canadian tour, which wraps in late November.

In December, the trio will return to Australia and perform at this year’s Meredith Music Festival, as well as open for King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard live at Melbourne’s Sidney Myer Music Bowl. In March, they head to the UK and Europe for additional tour dates in support of Now Would Be A Good Time.

Folk Bitch Trio’s debut album was released in July of this year. The album has earned the group four ARIA Award nominations for Best Group, Breakthrough Artist, Best Independent Release, and Best Adult Contemporary Album. It has also been shortlisted for the Australian Music Prize for Best Australian Album of 2025. 

Now Would Be A Good Time saw Folk Bitch Trio record in Auckland with Tom Healy (Tiny Ruins, Marlon Williams) during winter 2024. The group’s strongest link, of course, is music.

Jeanie Pilkington explained, “We all talked about loving music when we were growing up, and knowing we wanted music to be a big part of our lives. But for me at least, when I looked into the future, it was this relatively mysterious thing.”
