Beth Seymour & The Lizzies

The busiest woman in punk, Beth Seymour, has been a mainstay of Melbourne’s music scene across three decades. Equal parts Brody Dalle, Liz Stokes and Laura Jane Grace, the prolific writer/producer and proud trans-woman continues to release her idiosyncratic brand of alternative music, combining earnest lyricism, power-pop melodies and a punk attitude. Accompanied by her faithful backing band, The Lizzies, Beth produces bittersweet music that sets tales of pain, suffering and dysphoria to an upbeat, catchy and danceable rhythm; proving that, while we may all feel awful, we might as well feel good and look good while doing it. "If you’ve so much as even thought about the Australian punk scene in recent years, then there’s a good chance you’ve given (Beth Seymour) some of your mental real estate." - Tyler Jenke, Rolling Stone Australia "As real as they come.” – Max Quinn, Triple J “Direct, heart on your sleeve songwriting.” – Tommy Faith, Triple J
