About this Event 

Cultural Arts Collective@Pratten Park Bowling Club - A family-friendly venue pushing contemporary music boundaries with culturally diverse original AUSTRALIAN music, funded by Live Music Australia! 

Coming off their Sydney Festival performance in January 2021. GiiMusic launches their self titled EP inspired by stories of family connections, falling in love, domestic violence and caring for country. 

GiiMusic is a new band. The word "Gii" come from the Gamillaroi language and it means heart. GiiMusic is the brainchild of Troy Russell. After approaching his long time friend, Bree Baxter a violinist who has played since age five Bree and Troy decided that GiiMusic was born. 

They then approached Leila Hamilton a vocalist Troy met whilst teaching guitar classes at Redfern Community Centre and the band went from there. They were going well but needed that something extra and Troy thought of Chris Beltran. Chris and Troy also played together in bands before, one being the Black Turtles a First Nations lead rock band and Green Hand Band also a First Nations lead roots and reggae band. Both from Sydney. Chris clicked right in with Bree, Leila and Troy. 

GiiMusic is releasing this EP which is totally self-funded and is a testament to the bands' resilience. GiiMusic is First Nations lead and the songs are poetic and soulful. 

Supported by Simone East 

Simone East is a Sydney artist whose songs of heartache and thwarted dreams are paeans to those with little left to lose. Simone is currently putting the finishing touches on her debut album Stealing Time recorded with Lyttelton producer Ben Edwards (Aldous Harding, Julia Jacklin, Marlon Williams), and is excited to share her blend of shimmering Country–Soul and 70’s cosmic groove. She has supported notable Australian Americana acts such as The Roadhouses, Loene Carmen and The Lost Ragas as well as Northern California’s The Easy Leaves and Nashville–based Emma Swift.

GiiMusic has just launched the new EP. It's a self-titled number that fits well, like a sheer stocking, ooohlalaaa! The songs are: Life is a River, a song about caring for country - Jimi, a song about true romance and dancing - You don't know is a song that tells stories of domestic violence - The First Shot, a love story that ends tragically. We recorded the at Everland Studios and dB Mastering put the finishing touches to it. Enjoy and please leave feedback! Thank you.

Well, things are on the move again. But don't hold your breath...or hold your breath around sneezing and coughing. Anyway be careful. We can't tell who is crook and who's not. Now, a little bit about us. We are heading into workshops and preparing some new material. WOOHOO! We have a recording coming out soon and there is more good news on the way but we can't talk about that! Shush!! So stay tuned and be on the lookout for us. Take care now. Love GiiMusic.

Hi folks,

Just wanted to drop a message to you letting you know that we are thinking of you all. It's uneasy times when we are told what to do, don't panic, stay at home. But it is the safest thing to do right now as we try to get past this version of crazy is to stay home, stay safe and to look after one another. Take care for now.

GiiMusic.

We have a gig coming up at Redfern Community Centre on the 14th March. We will post details as we draw closer to the event.

We have a new gig folks. Yay!! We will be supporting a fundraiser at 107 Redfern St, Redfern. Along with other great acts including South West Syndicate, Jackie Brown Jr, The Black Turtles and Green Hand Band. We will be raising money for WIRES so that the animals that were injured during the bushfires can be helped. It would be good to see you there to support our furry friends. So please come down. Details are in the poster below. Feel free to share.

Hey Folks,

So, our gig was cancelled last week due to an unfortunate turn of events regarding the smoke and people's health so for those very reasons the event was cancelled. We didn't get to play and we are very disappointed as we have three new songs which we were going to debut at this event. We are absolutely looking forward to our next gig as we will more than like have a couple of new songs to add to this growing list of new music. Bree, Leila, Chris and Troy look forward to seeing you at the next gig we have which should be soon. Oh hey, you might notice that there is a donate button at the page below. Don't get carried away and donate too quickly but we can guarantee that the money that is donated will go towards the recording of the new songs that we have going and we want you to help us. Anyhow, you all take care and we hope to see you at the next gig. Gii.
