Just nine months on from the release of her acclaimed The Making Of Me EP, Imogen Clark delivers her brand new record, BASTARDS, out today. Listen to the EP here.
Recorded remotely between Sydney and LA, BASTARDS sees Imogen once again join forces with producer Mike Bloom (Jenny Lewis, Julian Casablancas) and engineer Will Golden on the reflective six-track offering.
“This record is about the lessons I’ve learned about the people around me, and the different types of relationships you have in this world as a woman”, says Imogen.
On BASTARDS, Imogen has teamed up with some of music’s finest talent; Eilish Gilligan on ‘Forget About London’, Timothy James Bowen on ‘Casualty’, Dawes’ Taylor Goldsmith on ‘Never This Time’ and Men At Work’s Colin Hay on the emotive ‘First Class Man’, amongst others.
The EP’s title track is a battle cry, a screw you to the entitled, patronising men that Imogen has encountered over the course of her music career. Underpinned by two rock icons on drums and keys respectively – Pete Thomas (Elvis Costello and the Attractions) and Benmont Tench (Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers) – Imogen hopes the track’s powerful energy will light a fire in the bellies of girls and women around the world.
“This song is a reminder to never let the bastards grind you down”, said Imogen, “because being underestimated can be a powerful position. While someone is busy undervaluing your abilities, you’ll be running circles around them and they won’t know what hit them.”

The just-released animated music video for ‘Bastards’ reiterates this theme. “Doing an animated clip meant we could go big and over the top, while also touching on animal cruelty, a subject I feel really passionate about. It’s a total dream to be immortalised as a superhero, with my real-life dog daughter Socks as my sidekick!”
Imogen also today announces a headline show with her band at Sydney’s The Lansdowne Hotel on Friday 27 August. Tickets are on sale now.
Additionally, she will wow music lovers with a professionally filmed, full-band livestream event on Sunday 6 June at 3pm AEST. Audiences will be able to tune in from the comfort of their homes via Imogen’s Facebook page.
Tickets for all of Imogen Clark’s live dates are on sale now, and special guests have now been announced on all dates, with emerging local talent sure to impress.

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
