The band started when James Roche heard Doko singing at a pub in Melbourne. Many of their songs are depictions of life as a young single female, though ironically the lyrics are penned by Roche.
They won ARIA Awards in 1998 and 1999.
The band split after the release of their scond album proved less than successful. Tania is now trying to resurrect her career with a new band whilst James has gone into music production.

Waiting for the Day
Bachelor Girl Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's just so unexpected, seeing you here today
Why now? Has it been long enough, for all the hurt to fade
Oh, how I'm waiting for the day
I guess I have no business, asking who you're hanging around
You like to keep your secrets, it's a lesson I've learnt now
But don't act like I feel nothing for you, and everything's ok
Seems that you've been kind enough, to spare my innocence
And let me keep my illusions safe from harm
To think when friends revealed the truth I'd leap to your defense
Strange the way the cruelest cuts have come
It's late I guess I'll be going, but don't expect me to wish you well
There's too much gone between us, whatever's left now I can't tell
But I know, there'll be a time when I won't crumble like today
No I, won't feel like screaming out should I see you glance my way
Yes I might find some bright new future that you can't steal away
Oh, how I'm waiting for the day
Oh, how I'm waiting for the day
Oh, how I'm waiting for the day.
The song "Waiting For The Day" by Bachelor Girl is a profound reflection on the complexities of human relationships and the emotions that come with them. The singer is talking to someone who they have a complicated history with- someone who they used to care deeply for, but who has hurt them in some way. The singer is struggling to come to terms with their own feelings- they're angry, hurt, and confused- but they're also still hoping for some kind of resolution or closure.
Despite knowing that this person kept secrets from them, the singer still can't help but feel something for them. They're waiting for the day when they can move on from all the hurt and anger and maybe, just maybe, find a way to peace. The lyrics suggest that this process may take time, but that one day they will be able to let go of the past and move forward into the future.
Overall, "Waiting For The Day" is a powerful statement on the power of human emotions and the importance of finding closure and resolution in our relationships. It's a song that speaks to anyone who has ever struggled to move on from a difficult situation, and who knows that sometimes the hardest person to forgive is ourselves.
