Dried Spider is the project of Matty Witney. Born in Gympie, QLD, Matty has lived and made music in Brisbane, Melbourne, Alice Springs, and Lismore, developing his unique flavor of soft psychedelic soul music along with the budding Australian music scene. For the past few years, he has been living in Chicago, and is coming back to Melbourne to share a new body of work prior to his forthcoming album release. Come along to hear him share new and old songs about the bush, the city, dear friends, and the experience of oneself through moments of pain, meditation, and humility.
NIIKA is the project of Nika Nemirovsky. Russian-born and Chicago-raised, NIIKA began writing and performing music in Australia in 2014. She returns to Melbourne now to share new music from her forthcoming LP 'Close But Not Too Close' (due out May 2020). NIIKA blends the melodic stylings of dreamy pop, indie art rock, and neo-soul through lyrics that ornament themes of intimacy, body, love, and nature.
