Mr. Silla (Iceland - Only Melbourne Show)
Emerging from her involvement with influential bands such as múm and Mice Parade, Sigurlaug Gísladóttir, aka Mr. Silla, has blossomed into a creative force of reckoning. Matched only by a truly honest and evocative stage presence, the musically transcendent ebb and flow of Mr. Silla is as breathtaking as it is life giving. The often ethereal sonic landscapes explored on her self-titled debut album, released on 12 tónar, are even more proof of what the creative hatchery of Iceland has to offer.
Tyrone and Lesley
Tyrone and Lesley are a songwriting and performance duo who pair the high and low in a wild and binary orbit in the dark and sparkling space around the ukulele. They have gone from strength to strength, releasing 5 albums, the most recent of which, OPTIMISM, was dubbed Ukulele Recording of the Year by Ukulelehunt. "The skill needed to pull our emotions from amused jubilation to sombre beauty is a rare one but these guys have it in abundance" (ukeplanet)
