When Was the Last Time You Saw a Gig Inside a Motel Room?
Q: When was the last time you saw a gig inside a Motel Room?
A: Never.
Ella Fence performs her new tracks and new live show to fans, inside Motel Rooms in secret locations down the East Coast of Australia.
Ella’s new single ‘Dancer’ is a unique mix of cinematic-electro-pop and powerhouse vocals produced by Vinnie LaDuce. To celebrate its release, she hits the road this May, offering her fans a very unique experience that gives insight into the life of a travelling artist – a life which can often be very random and transient, but also lots of fun, inspiring and full of surprises.
Ella will perform tracks off her unreleased EP, giving fans the first taste of her second EP, due for release late 2017.
Joining her “on stage” are Aquila Young and Lily Budiasa (Th’Fika), creating a three-piece all-female band of multi-instrumentalists, playing everything from guitars, to SPD drums, synthesizer to vocals, with Ella at the forefront.

“The Dancer is the party. He is your lust, your desires, your indulgence. I wrote this track in retrospect, reflecting on the exhaustion of an imbalanced relationship. But every scenario is multifaceted and there is always a story untold. This song is about wanting something you shouldn’t, and the circus of thoughts that accompany every big decision“. – ELLA FENCE
★★★★ – “That simple, hypnotic chorus is the ticket” – Declan Byrne, Triple J.
In collaboration with APRA award winning songwriter/producer and multi-instrumentalist, Vinnie LaDuce(MT Warning, Feeding Fauna, Ash Grunwald, The Winnie Coopers), Dancer is the first installment from a six-track EP, featuring songs that explore lust, broken promises, indulgence, flamboyance and desire. This shift in style for Ella is shown through incorporating the bold sounds of synthesisers and programmed beats that move the body as much as the lyrics spark the mind. It’s a passionate, raw take on her experiences as a strong uncompromising artist, navigating her way through a world where it sometimes seems that everyone has a hidden agenda.
Following the success of her debut EP WANDERLUST, 2016 saw Ella hone her stagecraft as lead character Snow White in a dark-twisted collaboration between Opera Queensland, La Boite Theatre Company and Brisbane Festival. Amongst this prosperous time, Ella was awarded ‘Song of the Year’ and ‘Video of the Year’ for her track Unknown Water at the Gold Coast Music Awards and was also a finalist for ‘Artist of the Year’.
Overseas Ella Fence has performed a plethora of shows that saw her reaching even new heights, including USA, Berlin, France, England, Canada; and hitting up some impressive festival stages such as The Great Escape Festival and Canadian Music Week, wowing both fans and critics alike.
