TRACK OF THE DAY: Back Of The Van

WHO: LadyHawke aka nomadic Kiwi Pip Brown.

WHAT: Multi-talented youngster now pedldling her big-hair femme rock in the UK after serving her YTS in bands in New Zealand and Australian bands.

THE HYPE: 'She's amazing and you need to listen to her now' - Dorian,The Teenagers

WE SAY: If Jilly Goulden's wine nose could be rewired to her ears she'd have a field day. With hints of Stevie Nicks, Pat Benetar, Giorgio Moroder and all those US bands who only ever existed on Brat Pack soundtracks, this sun-kissed road trip through retro Americana is made to stare wistfully out of a classroom window to.

IF YOU ONLY NEED TO KNOW ONE THING: She's been given the Rock Chick Girls Guide badge ­ veteran vixens Courtney Love and Peaches have given their devil horn seal of approval.

WHERE CAN I GET MY HANDS ON IT: It's available for download now from her website. Her debut single, the summer-anthem-in-waiting Paris Is Burning is released on Modular in June.
