Hello and welcome to episode 3 of Besties, That’s Iconic with Elle Savage and Laurence Driscoll. In today’s episode we do a deep dive into the world of Australian music royalty, Bardot. We discuss how the band was formed on one of the first reality TV shows, their explosion onto the charts with their banger hit Poison, and the eventual collapse of the band at the hands of “men in suits” (allegedly).

In a wild turn of events besties, this episode was recorded just shortly before the reunion of Bardot at Mighty Hoopla Sydney was announced. You’ll hear us talk a bit about whether or not a reunion is possible and, turns out, it is! MAGICAL! This episode was meant to come out later in the season but we’ve brought it forward in celebration.
