Biography

Lead singer Suze DeMarchi started singing in local Perth pub bands at the age of 17.

As Suze admits - “after the first couple of gigs, I knew that there was nothing else I would rather do If I never did anything else the rest of my life but record and play live, I’d be happy.”

For the next four years, DeMarchi was in England recording and writing as a solo artist, with EMI Records. But disheartened by the record company’s attempt to slide her into a pop career, and missing not working with a band, together with a little encouragement from then manager John Woodruff, she returned to Australia in mid 1989. On her return she set about forming a new band: fellow Perth musician Frank Celenza recommended his best friend, bass player Eddie Parise, DeMarchi approached guitarist Dave Leslie to join the band and finally, Celenza joined as the band’s drummer.

November 1989 saw the band’s first gig at the infamous Kardomah Cafe in Sydney, and the start of constant touring through the city’s pubs and clubs.

The Angels were so impressed with the band, that they included one of the band’s demos Break My Heart on the B-side of their single Dogs Are Talking.

In August 1990, the band singed a publishing deal with SBK Songs (now EMI Songs).

    Telelove is such a great album! I can't believe that very few people know Suze and listen to her music. I consider myself very lucky. Her singing suits my emotions perfectly. She has a beautiful delivery and amazing intonation/pitch. That also had a huge impact on Nuno's singing - turned Nuno into one of my favorite singers (wider vibratos and more feel). Anyway, if it were up to me, I'd have Suze put out new album every two or three years, I'm longing for more...
