Fuck Yeah The Jane Austen Argument!

Melbourne Indie-Cabaret duo The Jane Austen Argument bring their unique blend of wit, humor, beauty and tragedy to the musical stage. With voices described as belonging on Broadway, Tom Dickins and Jen Kingwell are definitely a duo worth listening to.

This is just a fan blog made by a sort-of friend of the band.
