Jak Housden & Robyn Loau

What do you get when you cross Jimi Hendrix with Tina Turner? The Rolling Stones with Cher? The Beach Boys with the Mamas and Papas?

Australian lead Guitarist Jak Housden teams up with his superstar wife, vocalist Robyn Loau to present the obscure, and the less obscure, rock & pop duets of the 60s and 70s.

Guitarist / Singer Jak Housden is a member of popular Australian group The Whitlams, recording and touring with them for the last 25 years. For the past decade, he has also played and sung with unique international sensation, Tim Minchin. And way back at the beginning of the 90s he was a founding member of The Badloves, writing and recording on all of their classic 90s ARIA award winning recordings. He’s shared the stage with such luminaries as Barry Gibb & Olivia Newton John, Tim Finn, Daryl Braithwaite, Richard Clapton, Mi-Sex, and many others. He is the Musical Director for the Bash Band, performing each year along side a string of Oz legends at the Big Red Bash & Mundi Mundi Bash.

Robyn Loau was the face and lead voice of popular 90s teen idols Girlfriend, bringing an early dose of multiculturalism to Aussie TV screens and magazines via her Polynesian background. Girlfriend’s debut single & album topped the ARIA charts, and they continued to have success in Japan, South East Asia & the UK. Robyn then departed the group to head the world music project Siva Pacifica (Virgin Records, France). She has also acted in Australian TV dramas, and stared alongside Ben Mendelsohn & Jeremy Sims in the Australian movie IDIOTBOX. In recent years she has established herself as a go-to backing vocalist, sharing her sweet tones and good dancing vibes with Leo Sayer, Tim Finn, Martika (USA), Bananarama (UK), Berlin (USA), Katrina & the Waves (UK), Llimahl (UK), The Eurogliders, Kate Ceberano and many others.
