G Flip is back with their latest single, ‘Big Ol Hammer’ — a punchy, percussion-driven track released just ahead of Pride month via AWAL Recordings. It marks the second release in what’s shaping up to be a bold new era for the Melbourne-born artist, following last month’s ‘Disco Cowgirl’.
This is probably the queerest song I’ve ever written. This song is about the feeling of putting on a tool belt with a big ol’ hammer – it’s camp, tongue-in-cheek, fun, and not to be taken too seriously. When I wrote it, I immediately knew I wanted to release it during Pride.” G Flip
Directed by Anne-Sophie Bine, the video for ‘Big Ol Hammer’ riffs off Grease with a slickly choreographed sequence set in G’s fictional “Lez Go! Auto Shop”. There’s a comedic interruption courtesy of Fortune Feimster, and cameos from a long list of queer creatives including Shannon Beveridge, Aisha Dee, Kath Ebbs, and Siena Liggins. Styled by Tatiana Waterford and Blythe Thomas, the visual leans into camp aesthetics without losing its grit.
“It was really important to me to have diverse representation in the video – I wanted queer representation, non-binary representation, trans representation. Now more than ever, representation is so important, but it doesn’t always have to be serious! Representation in a fun way is also needed. Happy Pride!!” G Flip
Next up, G Flip will take the stage at LGBTQ+ Pride Night at LA’s Dodger Stadium on 13 June, before appearing at several summer festivals across the US.
Known for their high-energy live shows and fearless songwriting, G Flip continues to evolve from breakout drummer to one of Australia’s most dynamic musical exports. As a queer, non-binary artist, their work often challenges stereotypes while carving out space in mainstream pop and rock. With a growing international presence, G Flip is not only making music for the moment but building a legacy for the next generation.
