As the only girl in cult surf band The Val Dusty Experiment, Rosie provided a sweetness to their raw folk-rock sound. Now she has her own band Rosie and The Thorns and carves her own rock territory with ringing melodies and addictive choruses. You might almost get their sound if Lucinda Williams sang with Band of Horses or Beth Orton fronted Crowded House. Since late 2006 their live show has been gaining fans all along the east coast.
