Together, iconic Melbourne duo Vika and Linda Bull create one of Australian music's most emotionally charged and critically acclaimed sounds.

They've played gigs for Nelson Mandela, the King of Tonga and 100,000 fans at the AFL Grand Final; been nominated for five ARIA Awards; were inducted into the Music Victoria Hall of Fame in 2019; and received the medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) in 2022.

They're dropping their first ever book in October this year, the extraordinary memoir, No Bull. The book's release will also coincide with their new album Gee Whiz, it's Christmas!, out in November.

Filled with the infectious humour and charming honesty that fans adore, No Bull charts the Tongan-Australian sisters' long and winding road to centre stage, from growing up in 1970s Doncaster in suburban Melbourne to being collaborators and backing singers to some of Australia's biggest acts for three decades and now, in their fifties and after raising families, to becoming a hugely popular headline act in their own right.

_No Bull _conveys the warmth, wit and joy for which Vika and Linda have become renowned, but it also, for the first time, shares many candid stories of facing racism at school and in the music industry, the crippling low self-esteem that held them back in their careers, and their efforts to exorcise their personal demons.

On Wednesday 2 November, join these two chart-topping sisters in conversation on the book with one of Australia's most well-known and much-loved humourists, Wendy Harmer.

No Bull will be available for purchase at the venue through Roaring Stories, with book signings from Vika and Linda following the discussion.
