“You can keep your popstars, here’s an idea for a new reality TV show. Enlisting only the underprivileged and homeless, hand them nothing more than an acoustic guitar and see how many of them can conjure up a song capable of capturing the spirit of a generation. This is exactly what Diana Anaid achieved with her debut single “I Go Off” way back in 97.” XPRESS magazine
Remaining fiercely independent, In 2007 Diana released a highly anticipated live and acoustic CD, (recorded at an unforgetable show in her home town, Nimbin) a collection of her past radio hits called ‘Live At The Bush Theatre’, which included top 10 songs, ‘I Go Off’ ‘Perfect Family’ and ‘Last Thing’.
‘…songs that cut right to the listeners soul with brave and unsparing views of everyday life (hers is a) story of affecting people with pure music rather than media gymnastics.’ Michael Molenda, Frets Magazine, USA.
‘…After ten years of hard work, this staunchly independent and single-minded artist remains convinced that good songs, rather than a stylist and makeover, will win out’ Kathy McCabe, Daily Telegraph, March 22 2007
“’….great radio songs with memorable hooks. Aside from ‘Last Thing’, other strong tracks are the lyrically clever ‘Dumb Opinion’, which swells with emotion…the first time I heard it, I was sold!” Julie Kertes R&R; Mag USA
‘This is her reality, still the heart and soul of a woman capable of ‘going off’. No pretense, nothing to hide, take it or leave it. It’s obvious why the guy that helped put No Doubt on the map, Paul Palmer, picked up on her.’ Michael Smith, Drum media.
From Diana’s self financed debut to her second release in 99 ‘I Don’t Think I’m Pregnant’ being lauded as ‘one of the best rock records of the decade’ Danny Murphy, Revolver Mag, Diana Anaid established herself locally and internationally as a force to be reckoned with.
“Losing none of the angry rock chick edge, yet also incorporating a fresh maturity, Anaid’s latest release is a representation of the strength she epitomizes” Natalie Arnull Scene Magazine
Diana’s next studio single, Cheatin’ On Me, features a re-mix by Josh Abrahams (‘Totally Addicted To Bass’), and returns Diana to her acoustic driven and in-your-face, original sound which has secured her ten years in the industry and electrified her die-hard legion of fans.
A favorite and unique performer at festivals and events, both solo and with her rock band, Diana will be touring extensively in support of her music throughout ’08, starting with the International Folk Federation Alliance in Memphis Tennessee in February after which she will be based in LA writing and recording her new CD. .
