DREAM WIFE
“Icelandic-Brightonian three-piece with the attitude of New York punks and pizazz of disco queens.”
– The Guardian
“Dream Wife fuse endless charisma with serrated punk-pop riffs…” – The Line of Best Fit
“…one of the most exciting young groups in the country.” – London In Stereo
.
UK/Icelandic three piece DREAM WIFE are heading to Australia for the very first time.
Rakel Mjöll (lead vocals), Alice Go (guitar and vocals) and Bella Podpadec (bass and vocals) met at an art school in Brighton formed as a performance art project within the uni grounds. Oozing girl power, their music juxtaposes simple pop hooks, cutting riffs and screamy-dreamy vocals, nodding to the Strokes and Blondie, but in a far grittier and contemporary way.
The band released their debut EP last year and quickly become one of the most talked about bands in the UK, garnering strong support from the likes of BBC Radio 1, BBC 6Music and Apple Music Beats1, as well as the likes of i-D, Dazed & Confused, The Guardian, DIY, Muzikexpress, Elle, KEXP and The FADER.
Supported by the British Council.

SHAME
“One of South-London’s finest new bands…” – NME
“A fresh take on the guitar music template, Shame are a politically charged full frontal attack.”- CLASH
“Shame is a UK band with the fury of all the best punk bands that ever were.” – NPR
.
Shame are one of London’s best new bands. Formed by five 19 year-old school friends, the band first broke out from their local DIY scene via word-of-mouth and have been hailed for their show-stopping live presence.
Shame were invited to play at Pitchfork Paris before they had released a single song, and have since appeared at Glastonbury and all across the UK. The band were an undeniable standout at this year’s SXSW Conference, which earned them a label deal with US label Dead Oceans, and an abundance of industry praise.
Shame’s debut single ‘The Lick’ comes with a rumbling, frenetic bassline and razor-sharp wit. Follow-up single ’Tasteless’ was doubled up with ‘Visa Vulture’, a vicious indictment of Britain’s Prime Minister Theresa May, disguised as an indie love song. Their most recent offering ‘Concrete’ is just as fierce.
Politically-charged and uncompromising in their ethos, Shame are experts in the art of not-giving-a-fuck.

AMNPLIFY-DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
