Praise for STELLA DONNELLY
“There seemed little doubt that Stella Donnelly was worth the hype, but the richly rewarding Beware of the Dogs is a stunning debut from a deadly smart talent with plenty to say in songs worthy of your undivided attention.” – triple j
“If Thrush Metal, her previous tape release, was brazenly political enough to earn Donnelly her fair share of admirers, Beware of the Dogs, its complex and nuanced companion piece, will be the linchpin that turns them into devotees.” – Noisey
“Beware of the Dogs is a triumph on its own terms, going from high point to high point as she maps the pains, pleasures and anxieties of her personal patch of twentysomething bohemia.” – Rolling Stone
“Donnelly provides her listeners with songs to laugh with and rage to, driven by hooks with the power to make someone out there feel a little bit less alone.” – Stereogum

Stella Donnelly reveals a new video for ‘Die‘, a track taken from her critically acclaimed debut full-length album, Beware of the Dogs. The video premiered with NYLON and was directed by sister-duo Giraffe Studios, and stars Donnelly herself dressed in dramatic and vibrant costumes throughout.
Stella says: “Working with Juliana and Nicky Giraffe on the video for Die was such a dream for me, it’s the most playful song on the record which allowed us to go a bit dark and creepy with the shoot. It was really fun getting to play the four characters of death and having my co-star; the little dog and hearse driver’s assistant ‘Thinly’ along for the ride.”
Speaking of the video, the directors said: “Stella told us she wrote ‘Die’ as a song for her to run to. There’s a stark contrast between the title of the song and it’s actual mood and musicality. We wanted to make a video that complimented the upbeat spirit while still touching on the idea of death. Couldn’t have done it without our dog Thinly.”
Having just completed her North American and European Beware of the Dogs tour, Stella Donnelly has now returned to Australia. She will play three sold-out VIVID Live shows at the Sydney Opera House and support American alt-pop star Maggie Rogers on her Australian headline tour. Later this month, she will return to Europe to play a string of renown festival dates including Glastonbury, where she has been personally invited by Billy Bragg to play on his Left Field Stage. Stay tuned for Australian headline tour news coming soon.

AMNPLIFY – DB
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.
