Now, 18 years later and with a new album in the works, DeMarchi is proving she still has everything that made her and the band household names.

The single, Got It Bad, was released on April 7 and fans are happy.

``The only ones I can vouch for are those who have posted stuff on MySpace and they love it, it's all been positive,'' DeMarchi said.

``The new stuff sounds like the band and there's been a very good response.''

The video, which can be seen on the band's MySpace site, features DeMarchi's rockstar husband Nuno Bettencourt, formerly of the band Extreme, on bass.

``He filmed, edited and directed [the video] and it was great for me. Gone are the days where you spend $50,000 on videos.

``You don't have to spend that anymore. ``[Nuno's] great to work with basically he does whatever I tell him,'' DeMarchi laughs.

As a mum of two, DeMarchi said she finds it hard to leave her family when going on the road. This time, she'll be bringing them along for the Wish U Were Her tour, which hits Rooty Hill RSL on April 19.

``I don't want to be away from them for that long. Nuno's coming too and I might bring him onstage for a few songs.''

In February the pair, along with American and other Australian celebrities including Anthony LaPaglia and Simon Baker, took part in a soccer match in LA to raise funds for the Victorian bushfire relief.

``It was a great day and good to see so many Aussie faces. I think it raised a lot of money, too,'' she said.

Has motherhood changed her, musically?

``Definitely. I mean musically, I'm still really excited by the same kind of drum and guitar-based kind of stuff.

``You do become a lot more patient when you have kids.

``You look at the world differently when you have children. I think it changes you.

``It has to. If you don't I think that would be quite sad.''
