Daezy aren’t just another indie band. They’re storytellers. Their songs dive into queer love, self-discovery, heartbreak, and identity – and they do it with heart-on-sleeve honesty and unshakable confidence. Each track feels like a page from Daisy’s diary, backed by a band that knows exactly how to carry every lyric home.

Their frontman, Greg Gonzalez, is known for his calm yet captivating stage presence. The performances are usually laid-back, with the focus on creating a dreamlike ambiance, and the audience tends to get lost in the music - but this didn’t quite translate for Sofia on the night.

The anti-colonial Irish hip-hop group, Kneecap, came all the way from Belfast to absolutely smash up Melbourne’s stage at 177 Russel St. They are loudly anti-colonial and Pro Palestine; they aren’t here to fuck around. 

Yours & Owls is more than just a weekend of flashing lights, food trucks and screaming fans – it’s a celebration of incredible local and international musicians, and a mutual love for live music.

The excited atmosphere was almost unfitting in comparison to the calm, lo-fi music to come, yet, as the lights went down and the delicate, minor-keyed orchestral introduction began, the anticipation of the crowd readily turned into a united sense of awe.
