Vivid Hosts VISIONS

Sydney’s Vivid festival isn’t just about pretty lights. It’s also got an incredible arts program which includes VISIONS, a local music festival playing out across multiple venues on June 4.

The event’s curated by Deep Sea Arcade, with the assistance of Chugg Music and Rare Finds. Together they’ve put together a line-up which pushes the boundaries of genres including garage rock, psychedelia, and electronic music, just to name a few. Deep Sea Arcade will of course be on the bill, as well as other local talents like Kirin J Callinan, Montaigne, Gideon Bensen, Hedge Fund, and Flyying Colours.

VISIONS will be held between Fredas and the Lord Gladstone in Chippendale. Entry is free but tickets are limited to availability on the day. You can find out more at the VISIONS website.

Heavenly Antennas Release Single Ahead of VIVID Festival

Monday can be a bit of a downer, unless you’ve got the right soundtrack. You can thank me later for choosing today to introduce you to Heavenly Antennas, a fun electro-pop duo from Sydney.

Their new single might be called “Misery”, but it’s far from depressing. The upbeat track features gorgeous guest vocals from Berlin-based songbird Larissa Rate.

Heavenly Antenna seem destined to make it big as they’ve landed the prestigious role of scoring this year’s light projections for the VIVID Sydney festival. If you’ve never been to Sydney, this is the time to do it. From May 24 to June 10, a rainbow-colored light show will be projected onto the sails of the Opera House, accompanied by Heavenly Antennas’ tunes. This is actually the first time Aussies have been invited to work on the initiative, so it’s a bloody big deal.

Something tells me we’ll be hearing a lot more from this talented twosome.
