Sophie Ellis Bextor coming
Sophie Ellis Bextor – the woman who carried out a Murder On The Dancefloor – is heading to Australia.
The porcelain-skinned British beauty will perform a special show featuring her greatest hits at the GH in Melbourne on Saturday, October 1 and Homesexual in Sydney on October 2 at Home The Venue.
The singer, songwriter, model and occasional DJ first came to prominence in the late 1990s, as the lead singer of the indie rock band Theaudience. After the group disbanded, Ellis-Bextor went solo, achieving widespread success in the early 2000s. Her music is a mixture of mainstream pop, disco, nu-disco, and 1980s electronic influences.
In 2000, Ellis-Bextor collaborated with Italian DJ Spiller, adding vocals to his then-instrumental club track Groovejet, her first recorded work since that with Theaudience. Groovejet (If This Ain’t Love) entered the UK charts at number one, just beating former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham on her first solo outing to the top spot.
In 2001, Ellis-Bextor released her debut album, Read My Lips. It reached number two on the UK charts and spawned four top-twenty hit singles.
Her rework of Cher’s Take Me Home reached number two, as did Murder on the Dancefloor, which became Ellis-Bextor’s biggest single and was on charts for twenty-three weeks.
Since then, she’s released three more albums, the most recent being the stunning Make A Scene. Expect to hear hits from across her entire 10-year solo career when she performs at Homesexual and the GH.
