Queenie is the trash queen alter-ego of Melbourne musician Eloise Thetford. Slaying her way as fearless performer who wears her heart on her sleeve. Her debut album, New Moult was released on 30 August 2024 via Cheersquad Records & Tapes/Believe and debuted at Number 19 on the ARIA Charts (Australia) and Number 3 on the AIR Charts, being added to rotation on Australia radio nationally including Double J. In February 2025 Queenie has been shortlisted (Top 20) for APRA’s only peer voted award - “Song of the Year” for her single, “Not Divine”.

Her live shows shake, shudder and smoulder with fiery charisma and freewheeling stagecraft whether she’s performing solo or with her band, a rogues gallery of Melbourne’s finest musicians.

Beneath all the sizzle, though, is a unique and powerful voice: tender one moment and visceral the next, Thetford can soar from Emmy-Lou Harris to Mariah Carey at the drop of a hat, launching her deeply emotive songwriting into the stratosphere like a rocket strapped to a Cadillac.

Following a sold out Northcote Social Club album launch in September 2024, she rolled into the Australian summer with festival appearance including:

Townfolk (Marlon Williams, Tesky Brothers),

Queenscliff Music Festival,

Beyond the Valley NYE,

City of Melbourne NYE,

Party in the Paddock,

St Kilda Festival,

Brunswick Music Festival,

PANAMA (Tasmania),

Previous highlights include performances a slew of festival appearances (Gum Ball, Port Fairy Folk

2024, Dashville Skyline, Party in the Paddock, Boogie 2023), and an invitation to perform at the
