Alternative singer/songwriter and 90’s favourite Diana Anaid will be joining us for what promises to be an unforgettable night in The Bunker on Friday 27 April.   

Diana returns with the quirky and upbeat My Queen, on her 'Better Girl' album tour of the East Coast.   

A rebellious firecracker, Diana pushes boundaries lyrically and emotionally; calling her albums a “tool-kit for survival”.    

An uncompromising artist, with jagged-edged alt pop and emotional relevance, she's an inspiration and dynamic powerhouse performer - a totally passionate one-off.    

Starting in 1997, Anaid’s self-funded and self-produced feral-folk debut stood out amongst the hip hop and teen-pop that was dominating the 90’s airwaves, spawning the #1 alternative hit I Go Off, and leaving many to wonder if this young mum was just another one trick pony.     

Diana’s follow up I Don’t Think I’m Pregnant saw her receive her 5th ARIA nomination and her second inclusion in Triple J's Hottest 100, crossing into commercial radio with Don’t Believe In Love and silencing those who had placed her in the one-hit-wonder pile.     

With comparisons to Liz Phair, P.J Harvey and Ani DiFranco, Diana Ah Naid (as she was known until changing it to the palindromic Anaid) in 2004 cracked the U.S market with Last Thing and her ‘No Boys Allowed’ campaign,which saw the single climb into the Billboard Top 40.                         

Anaid is a stand-out musician who “continues delivering authentic, original music” (Kathy McCabe)", and is a pioneer of a “Different kind of girl power” (Music Network).         

Her first album in seven years, with video clip for Can’t Apologise by Rock n Roll Hall of Fame recipient Nick Egan (Oasis, Duran Duran ), My Queen was mastered in the UK by Tim Young ( Massive Attack/Madonna) and its list of impressive contributors have helped to create the album of Diana's career.  ​Co-written with long-time guitarist Nathan Correy, the album's 11 songs reveal the tremendous personal and musical growth of the artist with themes of endurance and transformation, capably backed by some of the country's best players and produced by ARIA award winner Steve James (Sex Pistols, Siouxsie and the Banshees).​​

Diana's career highlights include US Billboard Top 40 placement, 5 ARIA nominations, 2 inclusions in Triple J's Hottest 100 and sets at the BDO, Falls, Vans Warped, Woodford and Byron Blues Fest.

Catch her up close and intimate this special appearance in The Bunker.
