Almost a year since Natalie Bassingthwaighte left the band, the Rogue Traders have found a new front person. James Ash updated fans with the news on an online blog last week, but said it was too early to name names.
“We kind of wanted to find someone ourselves; someone who didn’t come looking for us; someone who didn’t expect to be found,” he explained. “We looked everywhere – where you would expect, and where you certainly wouldn’t. It took a very long time. Naturally, once we found the right person, we knew instantly.”
James has spent the last year writing new songs, so it shouldn’t be too long before we hear some new Rogue Traders material.
