Live Concert Photography: Folk Bitch Trio with Alex Amen at Baby’s All Right 11/11/25

Rising Melbourne/Naarm-based trio Folk Bitch Trio — Gracie Sinclair (she/her), Jeanie Pilkington (she/her) and Heide Peverelle (they/them) — released their critically applauded full-length debut, Now Would Be A Good Time earlier this year through Jagjaguwar. 

The album’s material will sound warmly familiar: it’s built upon the foundation of the music that the trio have loved throughout their lives — gnarled Americana, classic rock and piquant and clear-eyed balladry. And yet, despite the seeming old-timey-ness of its sound, the songs are simultaneously modern and youthful, with the album thematically touching on dissociative daydreams, galling breakups, sexual fantasies, media overload and the petty resentments and humiliations of being in your early 20s in the mid 2020s.

Now Would Be A Good Time has been sold-out with two sold-out London shows and a run of the international festival circuit, with sets at Green Man and All Points East. The album landed at #32 on the UK Official Record Store charts, Top 3 on the Aussie charts and earned 4 ARIA nominations.

The rising Aussie trio are closing out a big year with a lengthy international tour, which featured a stop at Baby’s All Right. (The rising trio’s remaining tour dares for 2025 and their tour dates for 2026 are below.) The trio’s set which featured their cover of Kings of Leon‘s “Sex on Fire,” and “Foreign Bird,” showcased the trio’s breathtakingly gorgeous harmonies and earnest, lived-in songwriting to an enraptured and packed house.

The charming Alex Amen opened. His set showcased his lovely and easy-going Texan/Californian delivery. Much like the night’s headliner, Amen’s set featured material anchored around earnest, lived-in songwriting.
