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.
