Good Lekker Give Us Their 5 Favourite First Nations Artists
Eora/Sydney-based indie-rock act Good Lekker have today shared their stunning new single ‘Pretty Boys’ – produced by Daniel Wellington (ILUKA). The release is coupled with a cinematic accompanying video and lands ahead of Australian East Coast tours with Brisbane surf-rock stalwarts Shag Rock and Australian indie legends British India. Today we threw them the aux cord to find out who they’re listening to.
First Nations Top 5: Blak Excellence
Written by drummer Dooley Whitton, a proud Kamilaroi man.
King Stingray
My first experience of King Stingray was listening to their track Mikumana. A tight, funky groove, with some wonderful guitar and bass work, and the lyrics are sung in Yolŋu Matha. Needless to say, I was hooked in that instant. Having only released four tracks so far, I am very excited to see what these guys put out in the near future.
Thelma Plum
There is a lot of hype around Thelma Plum. She has just released a new single and announced she will be taking a step in a new direction. Her less recent work showcases her beautiful voice and if you haven’t, go check out her Like A Version of Chet Faker’s ‘Gold’.
The Kid Laroi – (Kamilaroi Mob represent)
I first got onto The Kid Laroi a couple of years ago and was a big fan. At the time I had no idea he was Aboriginal- let alone Kamilaroi mob. Huge. Where to next for him? He is so young and has worked with some of the biggest names around!
A.B. Original
Incredibly powerful lyrics – I first got into A.B. Original back in high school. My old man and I would throw them on and kick back. The whole ‘Reclaim Australia’ album is ferocious with some really important messages.
Sycco
I saw Sycco play at Airfields a few months back. As we waltzed into the festival she was just starting. Loved her energy on stage and she was a favourite for the day- since then I have been blasting her music.
