Music by GWYN
Blend the excitement of jazz and soul with the adventurous textures of alternative and world music, woven together through mesmerisingly complex rhythms and hauntingly melancholic harmonies. Formed by a collective of adventurous musicians, their music drifts from lush, introspective soundscapes to rhythmic labyrinths—where you feel ancient traditions meeting modern experimentation.
Each performance is a journey—grooves shift subtly from odd meters into flowing melodic passages, inviting listeners into a contemplative, even transcendental space, offering a vivid emotional experience—beautiful, thoughtful and unpredictable.
Music by The Moonsets
Folk funksters The Moonsets combine Electric Harp, Bass, drums and soulful vocals to create an eclectic blend of psychedelic folk laced with soul, funk, world, blues and a splash of subtropical groove. It’s difficult to pin these musical adventurers down to one genre so be prepared to have any preconceptions blown in the best possible way.
The Things People Say… (about The Moonsets)
“the perfect end-of-week cure”. The Music BNE
“This band weave you around their finger and take you on trip into those exotic and not so distant lands”. Little Boom
“She’s hot as blue fire how she manipulates the electric harp into a sound that’s all her own”. – Found Magazine UK
“it is very easy to be swept away by their soothing yet soulful show”. – Hot Off The Press Cairns
“There is nothing cooler than an electric harp! The chilled vibes it creates and the pull and flow of the music are so enchanting”. – Nkechi Anele Triple J
“Had no idea that an electric harp could have such a great, groovy, psychedelic and luscious rock sound, one that fits perfectly with the rest of the (fantastic) band and with some soulfully mesmerizing female vocals. Every song here shines in its own unique way, like pearls scattered in the sultry underbrush of a thick, tropical forest”. Favorite track: Firefly. ~ muschiosauro
“The Moonsets play what you’d imagine in your head having known they’re from the ‘Sunshine Coast’ of Australia. Elements of psychedelic rock hazed with soulful and bluesy vocals and holding a pretty damn catchy island beat throughout. All in all this is a hot find and one I’ll be waiting for the rest of you to join the party soon”. ~ Bucky
Surreal, psychedelic, and worldly this band has a creative flow and eclectic edge similar to the curated music of Putumayo. They have unique and playful lyrics, and fantastic chemistry between all instruments. ~ Divide & Conquer
