who, what, where, when,
why, how with fritz
Who are you? I’m Tilly, aka FRITZ! A 19-year-old
musician, fashion fanatic, and memeandpasta
enthusiast writing noise-pop-meets-dream-pop.
What was your favourite thing about school?Home
time – ha. I actually liked music class.Iwrotea
FRITZ song called “Gracie, Forgive Me”inclass
once. I’m yet to release it, but we playitlive.Also,
my school did a mean spinach-and-fetatriangle.
Where do you go to have a good time?Itdepends
on what mood I’m in. If I want to stay athome,Igoto
my bedroom with a bowl of stuffed olivesandwatch
Netflix or make-up tutorials on YouTube.IfI’mfeeling
brave enough to go outside, then I’ll headdownto
the ‘Hamo’ (the Hamilton Station Hotel,akathebest
pub in Newcastle). When did you first getintowriting
songs? I was 17, which is also when Ibecamevery
content with who I am. I wasn’t afraid ofwhatpeople
would think of me anymore. I had a fewweeksoff
school with glandular fever, and in thattimeIwrote
my first album. I’d also just been dumped,soIhad
a lot to say. Why are you called FRITZ?Itwasvery
spur-of-the-moment. I wanted to uploadmyalbum
to the internet the day I finished it, andwaslike,“Uh,
I need a name, pronto!” FRITZ came tomindbecause
it’s short and I like the letter ‘z’.

Nothing to see here, folks.
Just a no-nonsense piece
of art from French dame
Cloé Bourguignon, telling
you exactly how she feels.
Don’t take it personally,
though – it’s more of an
‘F you’ to the world than
any particular individual.
Should you feel a similar
sense of exasperation, you
can pick up an A5 print for
around $8 at cloebrgn.

Frankly, we’re not sure why
allcrustacean-themed puns
musthave such negative
connotations. “I’m just
feelinga bit crabby today.”
“Whyare you so snappy?”
“Stopbeing so shellfish,
buddy.”In our opinion, our
underwater pals deserve
tobeshellebrated for
theshrimply incredible
creatures they are – three
cheers,then, for Catherine
Rowe,who splashed this

theclaw-some lobster. Nip-
