New album In My Dreams explores the Shakespearian world of A Midsummer Nights Dream. It takes listeners from the heaviest tears to heart exploding moments of joy. An emotional rollercoaster of a show for all the family, Rezzalp is a new force of music. 200 word bio:There are no family secrets when these four siblings are out of the house. The journey into the self-described ‘Pop-Theatre’ of Rezzalp is a guided adventure into the personal hearts and minds of sisters Bridget, Helena, Maryanne and Suzanne Plazzer. When you arrive at the other end there is a unique synergy; touching and simple, individual and yet easy to relate to. The group has developed their sound over years spent closely together, and the natural formation of the band was an evolution that time could not hold back. Rezzalp has an uncanny knack for cutting to the core of emotional experiences; these are their stories, but they intertwine with our own. Their debut album, In My Dreams, presents this theatrical pop band with a matured signature sound. It is a concept album with songs crafted around the themes within William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, but more so is an album of truths, where the girls’ stories are unravelled and revealed. Rezzalp are set to win their way into our pop hearts!

Band membersShowBridget Plazzer: Violin, Vocals, BanjoIs a witty lyricist who adds a curl of tongue and cheek to Rezzalp and has co-written many songs for the band. She often has the other girls welling with tears of silent laughter during songwriting sessions. As the bands chief mischief maker, one of Bridget’s primary trouble making schemes is to pull faces on stage at Helena to make her laugh in the middle of the song. She plays violin, piano and recently picked up the banjo. Her favourite bands include Weezer, They might be giants and the Icelandic superstar Bjork. She also loves Gypsy/Hungarian music. Bridget has kept every violin that she has ever played since the age of 12, there is currently a collection of 5 violins in the practice room, she never plays the others but sentimentality demands that she keeps every single one. Over more recent years Bridget has acquired a museum of socks, some of which she has designed herself and collected on world sock buying trips in her other life as a fashion designer. Helena Plazzer: Lead Vocals, FluteLead singer, flautist and one of the key lyricists and composers within Rezzalp. Helena trained in classical and theatrical singing, replicating scenes as a child via VHS from ‘Singing in the Rain’ and ‘Meet me in St. Louis’. Her influences are 1930′s musicals, old plays, 1920′s jazz music, fairy lights, old school romance and The Bobby Dazzler Sock. The innocent dreamer in the band. Helena has an imaginative and melodious style of writing. She writes her music on a real piano thats slightly out of tune. She is often found at rehearsals in her long johns and her fo fury jacket, and will often breaks into Tom Jones or David Bowie impressions mid song. A few years back Helena arranged for an upright Piano to drop 50 feet from the air in effort to get something off her chest. Maryanne Plazzer: Lead Vocals, SynthLead vocalist, synthesizer and chief guiro player. Maryanne is a key composer and lyricist within Rezzlap who adds honesty and beautiful raw moments to every lyric she writes. Having completed a Diploma of Music Technology at RMIT, Maryanne will often be using tech savy terminology about sound equipment to the other girls blank faces. Maryanne records and creates new work from her home protools system. Loves visiting in the bunnings equivalent music stop to check out all the pro equipment she wants to own. You will often find Maryanne at rehearsals with a blanket, beannie and sporting a packet of Home Brand Chocolate Bullets. Her inspiration comes from Classical music and filmscores. Some favourites include Orff and Rae Howell. Maryanne has loads of fire and energy and is often found burning the candle by her Roland Electric Piano that lives in her bedroom. Suzanne Plazzer: Piano, VocalsPianist, support vocalist and player of almost any instrument she picks up, Suzanne is the key arranger and composer of Rezzalp. Classically trained on the piano from a very young age, she is inspired by anyone in history who has ever played piano….though she owns multiple albums of Ben Folds and Alicia Keys. She loves any music that has a melodramatic flair, but what mainly inspires Suzanne is a cup of Earl Grey tea with vanilla soy milk. When it comes to rehearsal sessions, Suzanne is high fashion! Always sporting a fabulous pair of new heels, (current shoe count: 98). The whole storyRezzalp recorded their first track in their hometown of Horsham, Victoria in 2003. Shortly after they were nominated for the Australian MusicOz Awards. In 2004 they became apart of a small compelation release in SA ‘Audacious’ , where they met and formed a great working relationship with drummer and engineer Justin Humphries. At this stage the sisters lived 5 hours apart but inseparable musically. So they decided to meet regularly in Ballarat to song write, jam and have fun at’The Old Mill’. Here they wrote music for a short film ‘The power of thinking positive’ and recorded many demos in the Old Mill Recording Studio with Ian Sandercoe. One track they recorded called ‘Spiders’(a band favourite) became part of their first independant EP release (track 7). By 2005 the band meet up again with Justin Humphries at JH studios in Strathewan Vic, with a vision to put together an EP alongside their favourite drummer boy. In 2006, Rezzalp released their debut EP, The Preview, which achieved ABC’s album of the week in April 2006.
