Press Kit
Pitchface is a community choir made up (almost entirely) of women and non-binary peeps from Melbourne's inner west.
“From the Ramones to Blur via Whitney Houston - no problem at all for these ladies.”
What started as an idea among four friends over a boozy dinner in Footscray has grown to a joyous 'no experience necessary' singing squad of around 100.
They belt songs you wouldn't expect from a choir, have a particular love of late-80s ballads and the dance hits of the 90s, and collectively make a strong case for double-denim to be an acceptable wardrobe choice.
Pitchface at the AO
70 women in double denim. Rod Laver Arena. The National Anthem. At the 2026 Women’s Final of The Australian Open.
Our deepest thanks to the good folk at the AO for having us and to our not-so-secret weapon Susie Kelly - Pitchface’s resident musical genius - for the incredible arrangement.
Pitchface x Coldplay
In November 2024, we were catapulted onto the stage at Marvel Stadium to sing with Coldplay at their four sold out Melbourne shows.
We still can’t quite believe it.

Pitchface on The Project!
Getting the call up to sing with Coldplay was, hands-down, the most outta-nowhere and crazy thing that’s ever happened to us.
And it’s the good news story that everyone seems to need right now — including the excellent folk on The Project.
Here’s Dom and Tess telling the story of how it all came to be.
Pitchface on ABC TV
What do art and singing have to do with sport? Good question. And one former Matilda Elise Kellond-Knight set out to answer on this episode of ABC TV’s The Art Of…
She and her crew came to one of our rehearsals to speak to Tam, Tess, Haz and Dom about why our community choir is so bloody fun.

“Pitchface provides a safe space for local women to explore their voices, and discover or fuel a love for singing.
The choristers are able to connect with others, gain new skills, forge valuable friendships and feel a greater sense of belonging.”
