Not only do I like the Waifs, and Australia in general, this whole album is great. More Sheilas! |

Would never guess that there is someone else that sounds like her. |

Not if their last names were Waif, in which case it would just be pluralized with the addition of an s. |

I ran into these guys travelling in Australia, in a tiny little town named Maruya, I think. I was camped next to some Aussie surfers, and we all went out on the town (tiny little coast town) on a saturday night, and it turns out everyone in town had packed into a the tiny little community hall (BYOB) to hear the Waifs. It was totally awesome and magical, and I've been a fan ever since:)

Just saw them here at the Aladdin Theatre. Great show. It was my first-I'm a recent convert thanks to RP.

There's something a little rough around the edges, even on such a beautiful tune, that attracts me to this. Thanks RP for introducing me to yet more great music.

Thanks R&B!
