Much-loved, ARIA award winning, pop/rock duo Bachelor Girl began their meteoric trajectory in 1998 with the anthemic, APRA Song of the Year debut 'Buses and Trains'. The Australian smash hit also made waves in Asia, Scandinavia, Europe and the U.S (signed by legendary A&R Clive Davis, Arista records). Written by James, it was credited as the most played Australian composition in the last 25 years. The formidable coupling of songwriting and band performance excellence is landmarked by the recent announcement of Tania Doko's place in the top 300 of Triple M's 'Greatest Singers of All Time' list.
Their double platinum album 'WAITING FOR THE DAY' spawned a further four chart topping singles, still boasting high rotation today, including 'Treat Me Good', 'Lucky Me' and 'Permission to Shine'.
With their hit-studded, dynamic and vocal driven live set, Bachelor Girl has become one of Australia's most in demand pop acts, having supported international heavyweights including The Eurythmics, Simple Minds, The Goo Goo Dolls, John Farnham and Icehouse. As songwriters, producers and friends for over 30 years, the chemistry between Tania and James remains strong; their shared and continuing passion to release 'thinking person's pop', has them currently co-creating a massive, 25th anniversary celebratory album, to be unleashed early 2026.
This June, the #25in25 Redux tour sold out 2 x Melbourne stunning venue Chapel off Chapel as well as none other than the iconic Sydney Opera House (studio). Bachelor Girl's nostalgia, versatility and popularity sees the band booking tours as far ranging as special guests for the Corrs (Feb 2025) to the iconic Red Hot Summer tour (2025), with headliners Icehouse, Wolfmother and Noiseworks.
