Have you ever been so inspired by the beauty of nature that it made you pick up your guitar and compose a song? 🌴⁠
⁠
That's exactly what happened to Gold Coast alt-rocker, Ella Fence , when she witnessed a brilliant display of fireflies in Queensland's picturesque Scenic Rim 🦋⁠
⁠
Now, she has made that moment into her beautiful single, ‘Firefly’ - a hypnotic, downbeat and slow-tempo trip that feels like a Zen tablet for the mind 🧘‍♀️⁠
⁠
Last chance to hear this beauty on our Summer Playlist before we update it for Autumn 🫠 👇️⁠

Ella Fence's new single 'Firefly' is a sonic delight.

Experience tranquillity and euphoria with 'Coffee' by KOOLZ 💟 ⁠
⁠
A pared-back version of her previously released single, 'Coffee' 2.0 is an RnB-tinged slow burn that provides a comforting space for self-reflection 🧘‍♂️ ⁠
⁠
Pop your coffee machine on, put your headphones in and enjoy this one with a steaming cup of joe when in need of a quiet piece of escapism ☕️⁠

Ever fallen in lust with a friend of a friend? 😛⁠
⁠
Then consider straight girls]'s indie-pop bop 'Best Friend' your personal anthem! 💃🏻⁠
⁠
Gloriously plumbing the depths of those bliss filled days of having a crush on someone new, 'Best Friend' is an intoxicating tale of falling in lust with a friend of a friend who reciprocates your feelings (YASSSS!!!😍)⁠
⁠
"The song explores that early feeling of becoming infatuated with someone new, the rushes you get when they pop up in your phone, the fun of it, but also how much ‘liking someone’ can take over your life for a little while."⁠
⁠
Oh the feels! Get acquainted with 'Best Friend' and keep an ear out on straight girls] socials to hear her next single 'Real Thrill' which drops tomorrow 😎⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Completely in love with ‘The Butterfly Effect', a new monthly series celebrating Queensland's up-and-coming female and non-binary artists, presented by the beautiful crew at Ungrained 🥰🤩🙏

First edition lands at Tomcat on 1 May and features EUCA, Lucy Francesca Dron & Mum's Tennis Friends 💖

Support local, dear friends: https://bit.ly/3epYjYK 👊

Ungrained presents ‘The Butterfly Effect', a new monthly series celebrating Queensland's up-and-coming female and non-binary artists.

Joining us at our very first edition will be:

EUCA - Gold Coast's magical soft-rock goddess. First and foremost a lyricist, her story-telling highlights her deep-rooted folk influences in an otherwise pop-rock parcel.

Lucy Francesca Dron - Bringing confidence to match a percipient composition, Brisbane's ethereal songstress blends edgy post-punk with seamlessly mesmerizing vocal virtuosity and intricate chords strummed straight from the heart.

Mum's Tennis Friends - A raw, unapologetic, and honest project by Ruby Lee (Elisa and The Delusionals) joined by Harry Wall, Tom Mitchell and Finn Douglas. After releasing their debut single 'Mental Health' in 2020, Mums Tennis Friends are back with their smooth synths, glossy chords and transcendent vocals and lyricism.

PLUS: Afterparty with SPECIAL GUESTS (to be announced)

Tomcat / Doors at 7pm
