Elizabeth
12:40pm - 1:20pm
Elizabeth Mitchell is an artist and musician based in Melbourne, Australia. Elizabeth is best known as the lead singer and songwriter of the indie-pop group, Totally Mild. She penned the critically acclaimed debut Totally Mild album Down Time using her life experiences of burgeoning sexuality, youth and mental illness, and sings with an angelic voice that encapsulates both hope and tragedy.
Her, the band’s highly anticipated sophomore album (released February 2018), is full of narrative heart, but with a Stepford sheen. Elizabeth's solo work has weaved Totally Mild's music for years, but now it makes a tapestry of its own. Elizabeth's music teases out thematic tension between the loving and the lacklustre, the domestic and the deluxe, her voice is crystal clear and it weaves through her immaculately considered instrumental arrangements.
Alice Skye
1:30pm - 2:00pm
From Country Victoria, Alice Skye grew up aside the sandstone mountains and wildflowers of the Grampians. Still inspired by her roots, Alice’s songs resonate with a sensitivity and maturity well beyond her years. Accompanied by the gentle and hauntingly sparse melodies of a piano score, her journal entries are transformed into well-crafted, articulate lyrics on love, loss and life.
Alice Skye first caught national attention back in 2015 with her debut single 'You Are The Mountains'. Recorded at the CAAMA Music studios in Alice Springs as one of 8 winners of the Alukura Songwriting Competition, late 2015 saw Alice chosen as finalist in the Triple J Unearthed NIMA competition and one of the 5 new Indigenous artists you need to hear. You Are The Mountains earned a record deal with Indigenous record label CAAMA Music. Alice released her debut album Friends with Feelings in Feb 2018
TERRY
2:10pm - 2:40pm
TERRY is a latent person of mystery. Terry is also a band from Melbourne, Australia. Divide them in half and you split the genders, into quarters and you get Amy Hill (also of Constant Mongrel, School Of Radiant Living), Xanthe Waite (Mick Harvey Band, Primo), Zephyr Pavey (Eastlink, Total Control, Russell St Bombings) and Al Montfort (UV Race, Dick Diver, Total Control). Guitars, bass, drums, all four sing.
Terry are busy people and Terry is a particularly active project too, having released two EPs and a full length album ('Terry HQ') last year on Upset The Rhythm. In 2017 it proved time to 'Remember Terry', whilst this Finals season Terry returns with 'I'm Terry'! In shops late August!
