After four epic years at the station, Sally & Erica wrap up on triple j Breakfast to pursue other opportunities.
Yep, that's right. It's been a blast but the twosome are bidding a bon voyage today. Hear what went down over the airwaves this morning:
Sally & Erica began hosting overnight shifts on triple j back in 2017. It wasn’t long before they earned a spot hosting Weekend Arvos in 2018, while also doing fill-in shifts on triple j Drive, Good Nights, the Hip Hop Show and Summer Arvos. Having well and truly earned their stripes, they quickly rose through the ranks to take over triple j Breakfast earlier this year.
With their unique authenticity and inherent passion for music, the duo instantly found an early morning following, sharing many of your hilarious stories in a year that's really dogged every Australian.
In the face of 2020 villain COVID-19, many of us sought personal connection more than ever. And there was Sally & Erica, offering us a connection each morning to each other and the rest of the world, through music, culture, empathy and plenty of shits and giggles.
Hear what went down over the airwaves this morning:
Over the last year, Sally & Erica brought us a rap-medley honouring the hottest female-led songs of the decade for International Women’s Day, went viral on TikTok to a famous Scomo speech, got deep with Tame Impala's Kevin Parker over the #1 Hottest Song of the Decade, and spruced up your disgusting cars with a triple j air freshener.
Oh! And let's not forget them bringing us global sounds and scenes, from North Korea, Iceland, Jamaica, Greece and beyond, tracking down the "Jayme Jayme" voice ID gal, introducing us to (spoiler alert) their punky alter-ego Stunned Mullet, and keeping us entertained with the #COVIDeoChallenge
Sally says of her time at triple j: “I'm so incredibly grateful to have spent the last four years as part of Australia's biggest family of music lovers. It's been a wild ride - from a one-off guest slot with Matt & Alex to taking the reins of Breakfast ourselves."
"I've had so many pinch-myself moments, but the most amazing part of my time at triple j has been the audience. triple j listeners never fail to make me cackle, warm my heart and inspire me. I've loved waking up with you every morning - thank you for everything. I can't wait to show you what's next!”
Erica adds: “The weird thing about listening to triple j is that it makes you feel like you have tens of thousands of friends. That’s exactly how I’ve felt for the last four years, being lucky enough to hear from you."
"Whether it’s just a song request on the text line, a call in to say hey, a story about your weekend or a dumb thing you did as a kid, I’ve loved every minute of the crazy, passionate energy that comes from the triple j audience. Thank you for everything. It’s time for me to hang up the headphones for now and focus on other things (a little later in the day than 6am). I’ll catch you very soon.”
We're wishing Sally & Erica the absolute best as they move on to pursue other projects.
So, who will you be waking up to for the rest of 2020? You'll be hanging out with fan fave Bryce Mills for the remainder of the year. You'll have heard the B-Man (nobody calls him that) presenting Weekend Arvos, and on occasion, filling in on Breakfast with House Party host Ebony Boadu.
Stay tuned to hear who will take over triple j Breakfast in 2021.
