Pipsy is a project by Melbourne-based artist and producer Paul Pouwels.
Pouwels, originally from Dunedin, New Zealand follows up Paul’s work with critically his previous projects pop bands Males and blues-based Julian Temple Band.
Pouwels steps out from behind the drum kit as a frontman for the new band
‘Why Can’t I Get What I Want, For Once?’ was produced by Pipsy’s longtime collaborator Tex Houston, (The Clean, The 3ds, and The Verlaines).
‘I felt that it was pretty personal music, so I liked doing as much as I could – plus I still love bashing the drums, so I thought, if Dave (Grohl) can do it, maybe so can I!” Pouwels said of his turn to songwriting and being a frontman.
The band is rounded out by Paul’s brother Cameron on bass, longtime collaborator and hip-hop producer Josiah Cowan on guitars, and new member and childhood friend William Powell on drums for live shows. PIPSY’S debut EP will be released later in 2017!
