Bild LOTHARIO: Lothario is the visceral, razor-edged solo project of Melbourne's Annaliese Redlich, who creates feminist punk anthems for the bored and reckless. Conceived in her bedroom in November 2022, Lothario's music is a raw outpouring of late-night hedonism, encapsulating themes of sex, conflict, and rebellion. Redlich's songwriting is a cathartic exploration of betrayal, booze, boyfriends, and bullies - offering a momentary escape from self-doubt and vulnerability. Her music challenges listeners to confront their demons and seize their power. Lothario's inception was marked by a lo-fi immediacy, with Redlich recording all the instruments, except drums, in her living room. The result is an urgent, desperate menace that resonates through her lyrics and soundscapes. The songs are love letters to losers, filled with an unfiltered intensity that invites listeners to rage until daybreak. The live lineup includes Shauna Boyle (Cable Ties, Leatherman), Elsa Birrel (Shove), Beth Lockhart (Dumb Punts, Elvis 2), and Al Hall (Cutters). Lothario quickly gained traction, selling out singles through labels such as Goodbye Boozy, Under The Gun, and Wintergarden. Lothario’s 13 track debut LP ‘Hogtied’ released in September 2024 by Under The Gun (USA) and tape on Low Ambition (Aus) sold out in a record 3 months for the label. The album received broad critical acclaim garnering “Best New Punk release from Bandcamp, and SeeSaw (Evan Minsker ex Pitchfork), as well as tremendous reviews in Post Punk Online, features in Creem Magazine, 3RRRFM, KCRW, Redbull and Siriusxm playlists to name a few. The band are fresh off the road from a 21 date USA tour playing Gonerfest, U4 Fest and Jacumba Breakdown. They also toured Europe in 2024 and the USA in 2023. With a new record set for release in 2026, and a brand new single ‘The Animal’ fresh out now, there is plenty on the horizon for Lothario.
