Dixie

Swaggering songs packed with soul-fuelled vocals and stripped-down grooves are DIXIE’s trademark. Attitude, energy and raw blues drip from the tunes and in Adam A they possess a frontman who performs every gig as if it is his last.

Formed during a late-night drinking session on a weekend away in Warsaw, DIXIE are currently flipping back and forth across the Atlantic, mid-way through recording an album with ex-Maroon 5 drummer and producer Ryan Dusick in LA. He, like a lot of people out there, is a big fan of the infectious melodies that people seem to instantly connect with at gigs.

Felicity Groom

The west coast city of Perth doesn’t have a heck of a lot of iconic landmarks, but who gives a rats when instead there’s iconic Perth musicians like Felicity Groom making sounds that ring through the country greater than any Belltower could. Yep, Groom ticks some impressive boxes, alright: she’s got the cool, feminine confidence of a 60s pop princess like Francoise Hardy, only her sugary melodies are peppered with bouts of wailing and growling sure to appeal to fans of the dirty rock of Nick Cave or PJ Harvey.
