2023 lineup
Foley
Gritty, dance-able and fearless, innovative pop duo Foley have arrived as fully formed contenders on the world stage. The multi-instrumentalist team of Ash Wallace and Gabriel Everett galvanize with their forward-thinking sound. Says the duo, “We aren’t afraid to experiment and push at the seams of pop to find our own place within that”. Their lyrical themes explore complex facets of the human condition, heart and soul, love and loss and the importance of togetherness. The band’s musical references unsurprisingly feature a good selection of classic funk, including genre giants like Prince, Michael Jackson & The Commodores.
“Our one true love is a funk bassline.” The pair describe that “It’s the undeniable groove will always be a cornerstone of our sound because it gets us both the most energised.” Foley ultimately seek to bring souls together. “We write music that bonds people in their experience, through heartbreak, joy, the ups and downs of life.”
