    Lucija Ivšić, former frontwoman of the successful post-punk band Punčke, has fearlessly combined elements of Slavic-pop, trip-hop, darkwave, and R&B to create a unique sound for her new bilingual music project, ŽIVA. With her latest single "Bad Blood", ŽIVA continues to push the boundaries of genres such as darkwave and synthpop adding a haunting slavic vibe. Born and raised in Vinkovci, a town in the Croatian region of Slavonija, Lucija draws inspiration from her cultural heritage to blend modern sounds with those reflecting her hometown. With just a small audio interface, keyboard, microphone, and laptop, ŽIVA performs her original music live on stage.

    Cong Josie is the moonlighting alter-ego of Nicolaas Oogjes, frontman of cult “Heat Beat” band, NO ZU. It is a subconscious driven, dream-state livin' hyper-reality that Cong springs from. This version of Nicolaas presents as some kind of a snake-oil-salesman, a faking Aussie cowboy, a singer-of-sleaze and/or a hero of the outer-suburbs depending on your outlook. The sound of Cong, and his band ‘The Crimes’, manifests from deep within the psyche: 50's rock 'n' roll nostalgia meets pounding late-night electronics, switchblade-sharp rhythms express genuine heartfelt mental-health purging. “Glint in the eye” dark and self-effacing humour is tied up in uncompromising post-punk urgency. When he is joined on stage by his band featuring singers Cassandra Capri (Cassandra Kiely) and Mona Rêves (Simone Page-Jones) and Johnny Cayn (Cayn Borthwick) on sax and guitar, the tension between romantic love and the darker side of life burns even hotter.
