Maggie Slater – Live at Brightside
.
Being a DIY indie artist – releasing your own music, booking your own tours – is not for the feint hearted at the best of times, but in 2021 never more so… Maggie Slater spent several weeks in Melbourne on the edge of her seat hoping for restrictions to be lifted in time to be allowed into Queensland to start her tour, only to have several cities go into lockdown last week! We waited with bated breath and the tour kicks off in Townsville & Cairns this weekend!
Indie pop-punk songstress Maggie Slater released her soaring new single “Itchy Feet” on June 25 and is itching to kick off the Winter East Coast Tour with her band, starting off in her old stomping grounds of North Queensland taking in Townsville, Cairns, Brisbane, Gold Coast & Melbourne through July (covid restrictions permitting!).
The track is lifted from Maggie’s forthcoming ‘Live at DREADSOUND Studios’EP which is out on July 9, featuring the previously released single “I Feel Bad” (May 29).
“Itchy Feet” is a song about the weight of returning home to the mundane after an incredible time travelling, wishing you could hop right back on the plane. The song narrates the process of trying to navigate the new person you feel like you’ve become, while stuck in an old and tired setting.
“The song glows with the luminosity of indie-rock and pop-punk with its drifting guitars which give way to the tempestuous drums come the chorus which expresses the joy Slater felt on her travels as she sings “I wanna feel alive”. Slater’s voice is delicate but there is also an edge of melancholy that permeates the song with a sense of angst. For Slater exploring the trials of a young woman who is moving into the realities of adulthood is a source of motivation, and with “Itchy Feet” she muses eloquently about her longing to ultimately find a place she belongs.” – AMNPLIFY SINGLE REVIEW

Tickets & info
Witnessing Maggie Slater in concert will remind you of what it felt like to yearn for that something (or someone) when you were living the best years of your life, all while reigniting your teenage angst. Maggie’s dreamy vocals paired with her band’s dynamic mixture of driving guitar licks and impressive drumming make for their own melting pot of bedroom pop-punk.

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.
