One summer night a year and a half ago, two Melbourne artists found themselves unexpectedly co-writing a song. With just a pedestal fan, a beat-up bass, and some empty cups of tea, Didirri and Ro wrote ‘Tea Stains’.
Reminiscent of drive-in movies, longing gazes across the room, chipped fine china, silk dresses at sunset, and heartfelt duets as the train leaves the station, ‘Tea Stains’ (out now) has a tasteful understated romance that mysteriously reels you in.
With over 600,000 collective streams, ‘Tea Stains’ has been played extensively across triple j, double j, triple j unearthed, and community radio stations across Australia, was added to RAGE and MTV, and has been praised with comments such as “they’ve crafted an enveloping, folksy sing-along that draws you in from the first strum and dual-voiced lyric” (Al Newstead, triple j), “is so intoxicating, so honest and beautifully bittersweet” (Wolf In A Suit) and “a smooth blend of timbres akin to a good cup of Earl Gray” (RUSSH Magazine).
Now is your chance to hear both lyrically prolific songwriters share their quirky and romantic collaboration live across Australia as Didirri announces an August headline tour, with special guest Ro in support.
