Based in Boorloo/Perth, Blue Honey is a femme-five piece made up of Iris Grey (Vocals/Guitar), Sarah Curran (Vocals/Guitar), Chloe Diener (Vocals/Synth), Isla Barlow (Drums) and Isabella Cotter (Bass). Their sound is built around moody guitar riffs, dreamy synths and emotive storytelling.
Anesu
Set Times: 4:30 pm – 5:10 pm
Born in Zimbabwe and raised in Perth, Anesu is a multi WAM-nominated hip-hop artist and activist that draws inspiration from both those worlds. Performing with a live band, Anesu uses thoughtful storytelling to explore themes of queer and cultural identity.
