​Slayyyter covers Hole's ‘Violet' for Like A Version

**Abbey** (0:02)
Lack A Version. With Abbey and Tyrone. Before Lack A Version and after Lack A Version is kind of the anchor point of an Australian musician's life, I think.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:22)
Pretty intimidating song.

**Tyrone** (0:24)
Like, you hear it and it sounds like the uncoverable.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:28)
The verses are great. They're so well written and they make me feel really sexy when I'm singing them.

**Abbey** (0:33)
Lack A Version on Triple J.

**SPEAKER_4** (0:35)
I actually can't believe it that we are here in the studio. If we cast our minds back to 2023, we saw her perform in a paddock. Then it was a festival stage in 2024 and now sold out shows across the country. You are not having auditory hallucinations. Darling Slayyyter is here with us in the studio.

**Tyrone** (0:53)
It's like a version nonetheless.

**Slayyyter** (0:55)
Yeah.

**Abbey** (0:56)
Oh my goodness.

**SPEAKER_4** (0:57)
Welcome back to Australia. How are you?

**Slayyyter** (0:58)
Thank you, I'm so good. How are you guys?

**SPEAKER_4** (1:01)
So excited. Honestly, lost for words. We've just been so excited for this moment, for you just being back in the country even, but how has it felt being back this time around?

**Slayyyter** (1:08)
It's crazy. I feel like every time I come here, people show so much love. Like even my first tour here, everything, but it really.
It has been wild, this trip has been really wild.

**Tyrone** (1:19)
It's also a very long flight over.

**Slayyyter** (1:21)
Yeah.

**Tyrone** (1:22)
What sort of flyer are you?

**Slayyyter** (1:23)
I actually, because I've been here so many times, I have the flight down to a science. And whenever people are doing it for the first time, I'm like, you have to stay up for like four hours. I don't care how tired you are, four or five hours stay up, because then you get on, knock out the rest of it, and then I arrive on Australian time.

**Abbey** (1:41)
Yeah.

**Slayyyter** (1:42)
And you've never, I don't get jet lagged when I come here.

**SPEAKER_4** (1:45)
Wow.

**Abbey** (1:45)
Slay to the scientists. I know.

**Tyrone** (1:47)
I love it.

**SPEAKER_4** (1:48)
Have you noticed a difference in the reactions you're getting from people this time around as well? Oh, yeah.

**Slayyyter** (1:53)
I mean, I feel like this music is crazier. So just like the first Sydney show, I was like, oh my gosh, everyone was just screaming so loud, and I feel like the shows feel more like lit, lit up. It's great.

**Tyrone** (2:06)
Yeah, we were there at the first Sydney show. It was a Sunday night, mind you, as well. People were getting lit.

**Slayyyter** (2:13)
Sunday scurries.

**Tyrone** (2:14)
And question, did you whip out an Australian accent?

**Slayyyter** (2:19)
I did both nights. The first night, I said, every single day. And the second one, I was like, you think you'd win in a fight if you saw me out on the straight?

**SPEAKER_4** (2:29)
You're really good at it. Yeah.

**Slayyyter** (2:30)
And not a lot of people are. I'm good at accents. I think I get it from my dad, where I can do it all.

**SPEAKER_4** (2:37)
But you also, I was watching this video from years ago, where someone just asked you in a quick fight into the horniest accent, and you were like, Australian.

**Slayyyter** (2:45)
Yeah.

**SPEAKER_4** (2:45)
You have a little affinity for the Australian accent.

**Slayyyter** (2:47)
It's a hot one. It honestly feels like country-fied a little bit.

**SPEAKER_4** (2:52)
You know what I mean?

**Slayyyter** (2:52)
It reminds me of a US southern accent. It's like a country-fied British accent. Yeah, there's a drawl, you know?

**Tyrone** (2:59)
So would you still say it's the horniest? Yeah.

**Abbey** (3:01)
Yeah? Yeah.

**Tyrone** (3:03)
Oh, darling. Great place for you to be at the moment.

**SPEAKER_4** (3:06)
Love.

**Tyrone** (3:07)
In the country of the origin.

**SPEAKER_4** (3:08)
Let's take it back though a little bit, which is what we wanted to do, because Ty and I are so deep in the Slayyyter lore, and the first time that we ever interviewed you and met you was back in 2023 So for you standing here, like to us, it's not this sort of overnight success that a lot of people have been considering this year to be for you. If we were to recap though.

**Tyrone** (3:26)
This year alone, the third album, Worst Girl in America, drops in March. You play Coachella. You then do a few weeks back Lollapalooza, which is this massive crowd.
But if you take it back to when the album drops, what were you feeling like right before that?
