My Minor Obsession: Brisbane’s Mallrat and her song “Groceries”

Took me some time to get into Brisbane 20 year-old alternate pop singer Mallrat. Her new catchy single “Groceries,” about wanting to pick up a few things with a crush, has been banging around on Sirius XM Alt-Nation for a few days and sure enough I went back on my emails…and there she was.

Her name is Grace Shaw and she started making music maybe when she was 16. She started getting buzz straight away and stepped it up after graduation.

Her rise is hurtling upward right now. In a Fader interview she basically throws down vibes from The Secret. If you wish it to be true, it will come true. And I guess in her life, so far, it’s working. “Anything is possible if you just say that you’re going to do it. That’s honestly such a lifehack.”

Things are happening for her now. She toured with Post Malone. Sound like she is LA now. And continuing to work on writing and learning the craft.

Times have been pretty good in Vancouver lately. Sun is out now. Kids are on Spring Break. And I’ve been rocking the morning show for Jeff, Scotty, and Karen as they are off on holiday.

The other day we went out Fort Langley and wandered a trail along the Fraser River.

Hey Fort Langley, you’re alright.
