WAKE IN FRIGHT:
Wake In Fright is a Tarntanya-based art-folk band. They seek to examine the complexities and contradictions of modern life through the sonic and lyrical lens of folk music. Drawing on influences from the sonic sensibilities of the 60s and 70s folk scene through to the alternative pop scene of today, Wake in Fright strives to create evocative and intimate arrangements.
The band features Sam Wilson on vocals and guitar, Luka Kilgariff-Johnson on electric guitar and banjo, Thea Martin on violin, Allan McBean on Upright Bass, and Jachin Mee on drums and backing vocals.
Wake In Fright self-released the EP ‘Wake In Fright Are A Band In The Room’ in 2022, the full-length album ‘It Can Happen Here’ in 2023 and ‘Touch Hands Pack Sting’ in 2024, which they toured to Tokyo, Japan. Their latest single ‘You Deserve’ is out now.
NAOMI KEYTE:
Naomi Keyte uses the vehicle of contemporary folk music to explore multiple ways of connecting; connection to self, connection with others, and connection to personal and collective narratives.
With Keyte’s intimate and detail-rich lyrics, sensitive yet powerful voice, and her band’s intuitive and painterly accompaniment, this collective humbly offers up a truly beautiful set. Drawing inspiration from artists like Big Thief, Maple Glider, Feist, Gillian, Naomi Keyte brings to life songs in a nuanced and singular way. There isn’t anyone who sounds quite like this.
Naomi is set to release her sophomore record on October 31 2024.
