Brigitte Handley CyberNation

May 21, 2025 Maynard

Brigitte Handley has a new release out, as well an EP of vinyl featuring unreleased Dark Shadows live tracks.

In between all her German shenanigans she’s been recording again and pondering the evil sound that is autotune.

Time to talk about that ominous looking splatter vinyl pressing, the implications of releasing music on cassette tape and who the hell presses 7″ picture singles.

We meet at the scenic Madame Frou Frou Cafe to discuss Brigitte’s new releases and the implications of recording acoustic guitar in the same room as Shirley Bassey’s vocals.

So have a coffee and pull up a Cher.

Maynard is turned black and white with shock. — Revelations so surprising, I’ve turned black and white with shock.

The Coldest 100 is songs about Australia, or by Australians that somehow worked out well (or not)

Brigitte Handley of The Dark Shadows has returned to Australia to let Maynard know what he is missing on German television. Also to remind all of us of the educational value of the work of Falco (even though he was Austrian).

She’s been exploring a new range of sounds there and has been working with Matahari Ranch to produce a full sound and stark video for Köln.

So enjoy a Sour Candy, meet us in the Kylie Minogue park in Glebe and prepare yee for the way of “Schlager”. Careful with your pronunciation of “Klaus Wunderlich”.

It’s great catching up with Brigitte, apparently Dr Who doesn’t translate well into German, but Skippy does?

Tilly Electronics have a new single as well “Tilly Pop”, but that’s a story for another day.
