"I want to ROCK, but I ain't got no band."
-WAG
Woody's A Girl (originally the artist name for solo artist Trisha Farnan) is a veritable unknown from Perth, Western Australia, who started playing in 2005. In the years that followed, WAG released albums mainly to friends and family. She received airplay on popular local radio station RTR.FM (92.1) and used to appear occasionally on the program Burning Down the House as a presenter. Her favourite bands/artists include The Smashing Pumpkins, Liz Phair, Veruca Salt, Nirvana, Silversun Pickups and Catherine Wheel, but are in their entirety far too numerous to name.

In recent times, WAG has collaborated with American artist Billy Bedard, a.k.a. Rotting Apples, and their first Woody's A Girl album, Into the Red, was released in 2013. In May 2018, the first single from their sophomore album Oblivion was released, with the full length album due out on May 25th, 2018.
Billy and Trisha have also collaborated on an album of Billy's songs, titled The Falling Sound. Other artists also appeared with vocal contributions on the debut Rotting Apples album.

Woody's a Girl Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We're quite the same
This alliance so
Detrimental to
The things you saw in your
Fantastic stay and it's
So nice to know we're so
You are okay it's
Not wrong to say
Strange friends are singing
To this new day
Sad things you saw in your
Fantastic stay but you
Know that we have so
Much more than that
If you went back I might just
Fall down and stay down
If you went back I think I'd
Fall down
Gone 'round the bend
10 minutes pass
You look at me and I
Know that we're friends
All that you saw in your
Fantastic stay is a
Part of your past you can
Keep here to stay
I am your promise that
You'll be okay it's all
Down to your choice
And you can make it today
