GAVIN! + LOCAL DERBY

GAVIN! + LOCAL DERBY

4PM
FREE ENTRY - 4PM Gavin! and Local Derby cordially invite you to The Gem for a free Saturday afternoon show this coming January the Twentieth. Coming off a year for the local rockers which saw plenty of gigs and the release of two singles, Gavin! are looking to get on the front foot early in 2024 and showcase their energetic, often dark songwriting for an afternoon crowd. Opening up are rhythm dogs Ellen Gorman (bass) and Harper O’Keeffe (drums), with Mali Helene (synth/trumpet) coming in to pinch hit at 3. Cian Foster (guitar) bolsters the middle order before Elijah Hawkins (guitar/vocals) and Siobhan Murphy (keys/vocals) coming in with plenty of lip at the tail end. Joining them are Local Derby, a jangle pop project from Naarm duo Elsie Lange and Luke Henriques-Gomes. Their songwriting tackles late twenties/early thirties anxieties: regrets, fears, hopes, love. Live, the duo is complemented by Calum Newton (bass) and Chris Redden (drums). Their debut EP Figuring It Out was released on November 10.
