Brunswick Music Festival: International Women's Day Eve

As part of the Brunswick Music Festival, The Boite presents the International Women’s Day Eve Party at the Brunswick Artists’ Bar.
Here’s to strong women, trans, non-binary and gender diverse people of colour in music. May we know them, may we be them, may we rock out!!

Come and treat your ears to the music of The Boite’s 2022 Portfolio Project Alumni featuring Pal Mar, Pomaa, Vikaye, VÉR and Yi-Lynn serving an adventurous mix of genres consisting of Latin Pop, Dream-pop, conscious and genre-bending R&B, soul and goth folk with classical pizzazz.

Artists:
Pal Mar
Pal Mar is an emerging Latin Pop band formed in 2019, when Juan Pablo and Isabella met during their musical training at the EMMAT School of Music in Colombia. Their incredible passion for music and travel put them in the eyes of various audiences and to Australia. Isabella's astonishing vocal precision and tone mixed with Juan's effortless guitar playing takes you on a musical adventure to the tropics informed by Latin American rhythms. They've appeared on several media outlets and stages including SBS and Melbourne Fringe Festival. Pal Mar have recently released their debut EP 'Rua' and performed at the inaugural St Kilda Festival. https://www.instagram.com/palmarmusica/

Pomaa
Fascinated by the complexities of human connection, Pomaa crafts intricate tales of relationships between loved ones, friends and self. Her music is a mixture of driving alternative rock and waltz-like dream pop, making listeners reminisce about the ups and downs of life and the people in it. Her debut single, “I Can’t Wait ‘Til This Doesn’t Matter”, was an exploration of overthinking and ultimately recognising that it is a temporary state of mind. It acknowledges the inner conflict of reliving your past but also represents hope for the time when these thoughts no longer weigh you down. Pomaa is now recording her debut EP, Bridge to Somewhere, which she is expecting to release this year.

Pulling inspiration from a wide variety of sources that range from R&B and trip-hop to Nordic metal and Sanskrit mantras, VÉR produces a unique and unmistakable sound. Having recently released their debut single "Mama" (The State of Things) and a full audio visual EP soon to be released.

Yi-Lynn (Band)
Gothic and unapologetic, Melbourne’s Yi-Lynn dissects bloody topics: gore, the apocalypse, and love. With a stronghold on the technical elements of folk, classical, indie and pop song writing, Yi-Lynn has garnered praise from triple j and community radio across Australia.
Yi-Lynn’s new EP ‘Foul Water’ encapsulates everything that makes Yi-Lynn such a special songwriter. The arrangements may be gentle and beautiful, but there is no coyness to this record; Yi-Lynn is flexing her power here, knowing that she only needs to whisper to command the attention of the room.
