The Maggie Pills

On Saturday June 7, one of the most engaging live bands in Oz The Maggie Pills launch their new single GOLD at The Eastern in Wadawurrung/Ballarat. They will be touring Victoria with their fresh 7inch; spit vinyl with Naarm act The Stripp via @tuffcuffrecords. Supporting them will be legends River of Snakes and punk lovers @Licklash. Maintaining the visceral and kaleidoscopic sound of their debut album, The Maggie Pills present GOLD, a recognition of the value that each of us can bring about with authenticity and chaotic expression, and how this talent is often overshadowed by the more conventional creators. The song invites everyone to dance frantically and to let our beautiful chaos come out without impositions or conditions. With a reputation for intense live performances that captivate audiences nationwide, Fuzz-Rock trio River of Snakes has earned rave reviews and staunch support from anyone who crossed paths with them. With Raul Sanchez on guitar/vox, Elissa Rose on bass/vox, and Dave Payne on drums, they deliver an electrifying blend of feedback-laced noise and swampy riffs that'll leave you hooked from the first note. Raul Sanchez, known as the lead guitarist for Australia's iconic Magic Dirt, Elissa Rose, former guitarist for The Loveless, unite their talents, sharing vocals to create a dynamic onstage chemistry that's simply mesmerizing. Licklash are a punk duo from Naarm founded and fronted by Kahlia Parker (Girl Germs, Roolette Records). With 20+ shows in 2024 already under their belt, and drawing heavy influence from the likes of Nikki Webster and Slayer, Licklash are simply not to be missed!
