Maybe In May + Boys At The Back + Sonnet And The Breadboys

'Maybe in May' are releasing their Sophomore single, “Waiting” and would love for you to come and celebrate the release at their single launch and Music Video screening! 

The band have been hard at work independently creating a Music Video which will be exclusively screened at this event, one night only, on the big screen. This will be ‘Maybe in May’s’ event of the year, showcasing wonderful local talent, ‘Boys At The Back’ and ‘Sonnet And The Breadboys’, gifted with powerhouse vocalists and incredible musicianship. You do NOT want to miss out on this "FREE THE FRIDAY" celebration of Maybe in May’s newest single!

“We invite you into the world of ‘Waiting’, a twisting narrative of obsession, absurdity and control.”

'Maybe in May' performs angsty indie alt-pop with rich tones, dreamy melodies and a youthful reflection of growing pains. The Eora/ Sydney based band consists of five non-men, queer musicians, who feel like they’ve been best friends forever. ‘Maybe in May’ isn’t just a band, they are a mood, an ethos, an experience. They have the time of their lives on stage and invite you to take a moment out of yours to be with them, dancing, singing along and feeling the connection and community they are building.

The quintet they are today, consists of; Marissa (Lead Vocals), Grace (Bass), Sarah (Drums), Gab (Lead Guitar) and Gabby (Rhythm Guitar). These friends have come together to make music that has an impact both creatively and lyrically. 

Maybe in May’ give a voice to queer adolescents and help their fans feel heard and be their unapologetic selves. The lyrical content of their songs fill the room with a vibey vulnerability, creating a relatable and safe space for their audience.

“‘Maybe in May’s’ set focuses less on shock and more on awe, fronting musicality and soaring range instead of repeated body slams to the back of the head. An eyebrow-elevating vocal is front and centre, sure, but the whole package is insistently powerful in its command and control of the songs.”- The Underground Stage.
