Perth’s Alter Boy have dropped their first music for 2024 – a single, ‘Life Finds A Way.’ The group has also unveiled an accompanying, Auslan music video, filmed amidst the industrial echoes of Brisbane Powerhouse. This pioneering work not only weaves Auslan into the fabric of their music but elevates it to a celebrated cornerstone of their artistic expression. With Molly Priest’s voice soaring above irresistible beats, combined with ‘Life Finds A Way’s’ catchy chorus guarantees it’s a hit in the making.
“We hope that Luke’s ability to embody the music and showcase the dynamics of the song through Auslan helps to highlight the importance of inclusivity in the arts, and that it might inspire other artists to celebrate accessibility as an enhancement.”

“Life Finds A Way speaks to the evaporating age of men taking credit for a woman’s work. Chien-Shiung Wu, Sophia Tolstoyer, Elsa Einstein, Willie Mae Thornton – all women throughout history who have stood behind great men, carrying out the tactical and emotional labour which allowed these men to embellish themselves in solitude. These women are now being recognised for their labours and located within the works of legendary artists and scholars.”

To celebrate the launch of the brand-new track, they will be performing a special one-off show at Lyric’s Underground in Perth on Friday April 26 with support from Jocelyn’s Baby & Skyuka. Tickets HERE.
