Define your genre in five words or less:
Dream, indie, alternative, pop, rock.
How long have you been gigging and writing?
We formed at the end of 2013. We started playing the Melbourne scene after several months of writing and developing our sound in early 2014.
What has been your favourite gig you’ve played to date?
An exceptional gig for us was playing O-week at Monash Clayton at the start of this year. We had beautiful sunshine, summer vibes and a great reception which made it memorable for all of us.
What inspires or has influenced your music the most?
Our musical inspiration varies from an incredibly wide range of artists, both new and old from all different genres. Our influences extend to our individual experiences and journeys in life.
What do you think a band has to do these days to succeed?
It really depends on an artist’s interpretation of what success means to them. Our aim is to develop as musicians and artists, produce music that we enjoy and to share it with others so they can hopefully enjoy it, too.
Why should everyone come and see your band?
We have a unique sound that may resonate with you. Our live performances tend to have some special surprises, so they’re definitely worth checking out.
