Heya! What’s been happening in the Qlaye Face camp lately?
We’ve been doing a lot of writing, exploring new sounds and ideas, and really focusing and honing in on the details of our music and translating that to the live environment, with as much colour, dynamic and emotion that’s on the record.
Your second EP Nascence is about to drop. Can you tell us about it?
Nascence is a reflection of the development of our music over the past three or so years. It’s a collection of songs we’ve finished that we feel really embodies our sound genuinely.
Who’s been your biggest musical inspiration to date?
We draw inspiration from music that pushes boundaries. Artists like Radiohead, Jeff Buckley and Karnivool are big sources of inspiration for us.
Give us five reasons why we should get down to your gig with AlithiA.
1. Nothing compares to live music, keeping society involved in music, and getting to see something earnest, organic and special.
2. Getting to see some of Melbourne’s own awesome bands, and songs that are journeys and resonate on a different level. It’s what music is about.
3. The Gaso is a great spot. If you haven’t experienced live music here, you’re missing out.
4. Our EP has been in production for a very long time, the skeletal frames of some of the songs, even longer. It won’t disappoint fans and new-comers.
5. AlithiA are awesome. Like the other bands, the music is so expansive and the performances are epic.
