Tuatha Dea is pure primal energy with a Celtic twist. The bands eclectic sound blends the tribal vibe of primitive drums with conventional and non conventional instruments such as guitar, bass, modern and Native American flutes as well as a myriad of vocal styles to create a truly unique sound. Born of a family drum circle, the group delivers an authentic tribal and
clannish feel that not only draws the audience into the music but into the moment and family as well. Their rhythmic groove naturally inspires audience participation, which has become a staple of their performances. From the beginning the band has embraced its Celtic heritage and meshed the traditional music of Scotland, Ireland and Great Britain with the pulse- pounding heartbeat of the drums to produce unique versions of old favorites like "Danny Boy", "Whiskey In A Jar", "Loch Lomond" and others. The group's eclectic nature also incorporates a rock, blues, new age and even punk edge into their repertoire of material to further widen their appeal. Original music such as the Celtic mythology of their namesake song "Tuatha de Danaan" and "Pipers Pay" as well as mainstream compositions such as "The Sky Is Falling" and "Granny's Bedtime Tonic" marks Tuatha Dea as a creative force.
Feel the music. Embrace the rhythm. Experience the family of Tuatha Dea.

There's no one quite like Wendy Rule. Her albums are always visionary journeys full of the extremes of passion, from the most gentle to the most sweeping.

.Dark, sensual, sonic theatre...compelling stuff.    -  Rolling Stone Australia
Blessed by a voice that purrs and soars…. The Age Good Weekend, Melbourne

Every so often Melbourne throws up a singular talent, someone previously hidden amongst the well-established musical tribes, someone possessed of a unique vision. Wendy Rule, the vocalist, songwriter and visionary behind this remarkable album, is such and artist.  Beat Magazine, Melbourne

Wendy Rule gives meaning to the word unique
Sweeping melodies, emotive vocals and the ability to haunt the mind like a lingering spirit.  Beat Magazine, Melbourne

Beautiful is a word not often used to describe the work of independent Australian artists… but Wendy Rule's bold second album, Deity, deserves no lesser description. The Age Good Weekend

World Between Worlds is Cd number three for the rather prolific, obscenely talented local songstress, Wendy Rule.  Beat Magazine Melbourne

Its been said that there's nobody quite like Wendy Rule. Her sensually overwhelming music illuminates the spectrum of potential human experience, and the extraordinary emotional range of her voice traces Rule's own path within it. Inpress Magazine, Melbourne

Her smoky voice soars and swoops to incredibly low depths… Courier Mail, Brisbane

Fans of this talented Melbourne singer find her little short of mesmerising… Rule drags you from one end of the spectrum to the other, plunging into dark despair before dragging you back into brilliant sunshine.  Sunday Herald Sun, Melbourne
