Proxy Diver are a shoegaze, grunge, metal band from Wollongong. I got to chat with the three-piece – wait four??? – at Dicey’s a few weeks back and thought it’d be rude not to check out the DIY gig, which they had organised, Saturday 17th of May.

Daisy Pring brings alt-pop/rnb to the local music scene with her debut EP Treading Water released May 8. 

Before you make your way over to La La La’s tomorrow for the Treading Water launch party, let’s get acquainted with Daisy.

I had so much fun two weeks ago (April 26th) at Society City in the Wollongong CBD watching live performances from locals Skarmekal and L.O.W, the Canberra-based Facecutter and Wisconsin legends Livid.

All of them were friendly enough to talk to me after their sets for some quick q’s. Here’s how it went…

Tallulah: Chatting with Leroy, Callum, Miko and Gabe

Hailing from Sydney, Leroy and Callum share vocals while Miko plays the drums and Gabe plays guitar in this pop-punk four-piece. If you got to see them live at SESFEST, and even if you didn’t, frankly, now’s a good time to get to know the boys behind the band.

EGOISM: Chatting with Scout, Olive and Adam.

The dream-pop trio EGOISM made their way down from Sydney to perform at SESFEST. I got to catch Scout, Olive (both co-lead vocals) and Adam (drums) in the green room before their stunning set.
