TOP FIVES: Private Life

26 April 2012 | 1:30 pm | Staff Writer

Melbourne duo Private Life take us through their Top 5s. From Bon Iver at the Music Bowl to Los Angeles' Magic Castle.

PRIVATE LIFE is a high energy, synthy and sweet Melbourne duo. Band-mates Renee and Jamie are a pair of those multi hyphenated duos that between them man the vocals, lead-guitar, bass and drums. They have recently been featured on Triple J Unearthed with their track ‘Follow the Sun’ so PURPLE SNEAKERS decided it was the perfect opportunity to catch up and give them the ‘Top 5’ treatment.
