Bridie Connellan

Many would like Bridie to hush her face about music. As an enthusiast for an outlandish scotch, a onesie and a good LRD* with her housemates, she one day hopes to reinvent the entire English language, and totes a penchant for constructing words like ‘jungular’ or ‘parrotesque’ to describe the tropics and/or That New Sound. Bridie is the Managing Editor of Strangelove Magazine and also finds her words in The Brag, Rolling Stone, SMH, Cream, Rave, Beat, Throw Shapes and Das Superpaper. *Lounge Room Disco
