'She Isn't Afraid to Push Boundaries': Weird Fishes Signs Rising Sydney Singer-Songwriter

Weird Fishes has announced its latest management signing, RAGEFLOWER.

RAGEFLOWER is the first new signing since Weird Fishes launched last August.

It's a coup for the fledgling independent artist management company, with RAGEFLOWER — aka Madeleine Powers — impressing the industry with a stand-out performance at last year's BIGSOUND. Her two breakout singles, "Desk Job" and "Control", also enjoyed high rotation on triple j.

Weird Fishes co-founder Aidan McLaren shares: “RAGEFLOWER is without doubt the most exciting new artist we have seen in the last few years. The creativity, the songwriting, the captivating live show, the connection, it’s all there. What Maddy is creating is something really unique, very special and strikingly authentic. We couldn’t be more pleased than to be joining the team to help bring the RAGEFLOWER world to life, and to bring it to people around the globe”.

RAGEFLOWER recently signed to Select Music (Rob Giovanonni) for Australian live bookings. She has also grabbed the attention of UK industry legend Paul Wilson and Nikos Kazoleas of CAA who have joined the team for UK/European live bookings.

Assisting on day-to-day management alongside Aidan McLaren will be the newest Weird Fishes team member, Alanna Vullo, who joined the company late last year. 

“There’s a magnetic intensity to RAGEFLOWER that you just don't see every day,” Vullo says. “She isn't afraid to push boundaries or bare her soul, and the result is art that genuinely moves people and leaves a lasting mark. We are absolutely thrilled to step in as her management team and back such a fiercely creative talent”.

Listen to RAGEFLOWER's "Control" above. A second EP is slated for release later this year.

Aidan McLaren, Joe Miles, and Rhett McLaren launched Weird Fishes last year.

“What a first 9 months! Aside from being six of the busiest/most intense months of our careers, it has also been six of the most rewarding,” says McLaren.

"“Two #1 Australian Artist Albums, one #2 Australian Album, some of our artists’ highest headline ticket-sales across multiple countries, mainstage slots on some of the biggest and best festivals in the world, millions of streams, many meaningful moments and memories, and most-importantly, getting to do it all with awesomely talented, hardworking, amazing, creative people from all over the world that we feel incredibly lucky and grateful to be able to call colleagues, partners, artists and friends.”
