GAUCI

20 Oct 2023

GAUCI are Antonia Gauci (GRAMMY-winning engineer, worked with Kesha, Troye Sivan, DMA'S and more) David Gauci (member of Flowertruck, previous touring member of Hatchie) and Felix Lush (solo artist previously supported Toro y Moi, Methyl Ethyl, Daine) who come together to marry their DIY/alternative impulses with an enduring love for pop, like Mallrat or Haim.

Their marriage of revved up guitars steeped in club-ready bass, is helmed by GAUCI's iconoclastic synth basis, the hero of each release mutated according to mood and motive. Emblematic of their enduring adherence to contemporary power pop and fierce punk; roaring alternative music and the euphoric release of the dancefloor is balanced with prudence, subtly complemented with tasteful sentimentality. This careful twist of impulses GAUCI crafts into an impression entirely their own - a spirit firm in tethering the untenable or unexpected, much like their contemporaries in Cub Sport, Mallrat or Caroline Polachek.

A winning combination that's won over crowds at Yours & Owls, Dark Mofo, BIGSOUND amongst appearances supporting 1300, G Flip, Parcels, Alice Ivy, Wafia, Hatchie, Julia Jacklin and more. Champions of the local scene by FBi Radio, Purple Sneakers, RUSSH Magazine and others, GAUCI’s “exhilarating” releases have sought ongoing praise from dublab, PAPER Magazine, Bandcamp, triple j Unearthed, Tone Deaf, Pilerats, Sniffers, Music Feeds, Best Before and more.

This performance is part of SXSW Sydney.

  • Phoenix Central Park is an intimate performance space and tickets are limited. Due to high demand, tickets will be issued at random to those who have entered each ticket ballot. Each performance has a separate ballot, so if you would like to attend multiple performances, you will need to enter each ballot separately.

    We advise you to listen to the artist you are entering the ballot for, and consider which shows you’d really like to attend. Entering more ballots does not increase your chances of attending.

    Please only enter our ballots with your own details - if we catch you using false details, you won’t have any luck. We reserve the right to cancel any tickets we believe are obtained through false information at any time.

  • If you are successful you will receive an email up to ten days prior to the performance with instructions on how to claim your tickets.

    This offer is only valid for a limited time. Unclaimed tickets may be forfeited. You will have the option of confirming up to two tickets for a performance.

  • No, your tickets will be valid for a specific performance only. If you are unable to attend, please pass the ticket onto a friend or contact us at tickets@phoenixcentralpark.com.au to allow someone else the opportunity to attend.
