Two Stars At Work Skills Bianca Demarchi &_ Clarkes Boutaine
Luck may not play as big a part in DeMarchi’s career as she claims. Leaving school at 15, quitting a nowhere job at 16 and living on the road with her band at 17 shows a confidence and a willingness to fast-track experience that seems rarer now. “Sometimes we’d do three shows a day,” she says of her beginnings in Perth rockers Photoplay. “We’d do a university lunchtime show, then a pub gig, which would be three sets, then we’d do a nightclub gig, three sets again; three different 40 minute sets.” She says laughing. “That’s where we learned how to play. I did that for two years. I got my work ethic from thinking it’s no big deal to drive [from Perth] to Geraldton to do a set or three. Now I wouldn’t want to – I have enough trouble getting through a one hour 40 minute set!”
With the release of new album , DeMarchi has eased into the role of a youthful rock legend, dispensing wisdom and dividing her time between parenting, performing and writing. While there are many album highlights, for DeMarchi two songs stand out. “We recorded on [previous acoustic album] , but I didn’t think we did it properly; I always wanted to give that song the right treatment. I wrote with Andrew Farriss when I was talking to him about all the INXS stuff [DeMarchi was in discussion about becoming the singer for INXS before they went the reality show route], I love that song.”
DeMarchi toured with as their keyboard/guitar player and backing vocalist on their world tour, performing at major concert venues across the United States; Canada; South America; Europe and Asia. DeMarchi’s performance in the Cranberries concert at in Los Angeles was mentioned in two separate L.A. Newspapers. Entertainment Section review of the Cranberries concert printed that “Demarchi triggered the swelling orchestration and provided welcome background support all evening by bolstering the sound and enriching vocals.” reported that “The Band, augmented by keyboardist-guitarist Denny DeMarchi from O’Riordan’s recent solo disc , brings sufficient energy to the set, the influence of the Smiths quite prevalent; oddly enough, the more racket they created, the more cohesive they sounded.”
