Tania Doko and James Roche have spent more than 25 years establishing Bachelor Girl as one of Australia's most enduring and beloved pop acts. Their double platinum debut album, Waiting for the Day (1999), earned the duo the ARIA Award for Producer of the Year and launched the timeless hit Buses and Trains, which won APRA Song of the Year, is officially recognised among Australia's 100 Greatest Songs, and remains one of the country's most-played compositions. The success of the album extended internationally, leading to a signing with Clive Davis' Arista Records in the United States and releases throughout Europe and Asia. Tania's unmistakable voice has since been recognised with a place in Triple M's Top 300 Greatest Singers of All Time.
Waiting for the Day also delivered fan favourites including Treat Me Good, Lucky Me and Permission to Shine, while sophomore album Dysfunctional (2001) featured the hit I'm Just A Girl. After taking time to pursue acclaimed songwriting and production careers throughout Sweden and the UK, Tania and James reunited in 2018 with Speak, before returning in 2023 with Calling Out Your Name, earning editorial support from Spotify's New Music Friday and joining Darren Hayes on his Australian Do You Remember? tour.
Their celebrated live show has seen Bachelor Girl share stages with Eurythmics, The Goo Goo Dolls, Simple Minds and The Corrs, while also appearing on iconic Australian events including A Day on the Green and the Red Hot Summer Tour.
In 2026, Bachelor Girl open an exciting new chapter with Waiting for the Day: Artist Sessions—a landmark reimagining of the album that started it all. Bringing together some of Australia's and New Zealand's most celebrated artists, including Delta Goodrem, Guy Sebastian, Jessica Mauboy, Darren Hayes, Tommy Emmanuel, Ella Hooper, Kaylee Bell and more, the collaborative project reintroduces the songs that defined a generation while celebrating the songwriting that continues to resonate today.
The release will be accompanied by a national Australian tour celebrating the enduring legacy of Waiting for the Day, before taking Bachelor Girl's timeless catalogue to regional audiences and summer festival stages across the country.
