Girls on Tour Book Club
Girls on Tour is a book club that aims to keep us connected while shining a light on some bad ass women and gender diverse people in the entertainment industry.
Every month your hosts Monique and Briony will talk endless nonsense about our fiction book of the month, and every ten weeks Monique will be joined by a special guest host to chat about specific roles in the industry and their own remarkable careers.
This book club is for those who tour and the ones who are left behind, for lovers of fantasy, music and theatre and for those who find that most book clubs are not accessible to them due to schedule, physical health, chronic illness and/or mental health.

Audio Engineer & Artist Manager Nicole Lepusic || Roadies by Stuart Coupe
Roadies are the unsung heroes of the Australian music industry. Stuart Coupe has gathered a collection of some of the greatest Aussie crew of all time. He happened to miss Audio Engineer, Artist Manager, Guitar Tech and tech director Nicole Lepusic, so we made sure to get her story.
Welcome to the Girls on Tour Book Club, a book club that aims to keep us connected no matter how far apart we are while shining a light on some badass women and gender diverse people within the entertainment industry.
What started with a love for music and songwriting quickly turned into a career in audio engineering for Nicole. From there she did stints as a guitar tech for Vance Joy, ran away with the circus for Fringe, tech directed venues, worked in theatre sound and 'dabbled' in artist management, eventually opening her own agency but always found her way back to her roots in audio, doing sound for some of the greatest artists and bands in Australia.
Together we read Roadies by Stuart Coupe, an absolutely incredible collection of stories from some of the largest and boldest road crew in Australian and international history, pioneers of our industry who made their own rules and changed entertainment as we know it today.
While todays chat mostly focuses on Nicole's career, you'd be a fool to not get your hands on a copy of this book and read it for yourself!
