Combustible Melbourne soul heroine Stella Angelico joins me to talk about the bad-asses of the 60s girl group scene, New York trio The Shangri-las. We talk about why they were the toughest gals in the game, their fascination with death, the drama inherent in their songs, their hustling mentor George ‘Shadow’ Morton, why there’s no such thing as a guilty pleasure and why the Shangri-las were the Taylor Swift of their era.
