And lads/ladettes, that’s just a handful of what’s to come.
But back to the tunes: throughout the day, we’ll be having a mix of up-and-coming DJs and musos ensuring your entire body is vibrating at all times, including a headlining DJ set from Melbourne’s very own Banoffee.
Feast your eyes on the full list of artists and times below:
2.00 -2.45pm – Dianas
3.30-4.15pm – P-UniQue
Banoffee (DJ Set)
After listening to a recent poddy episode featuring Banoffee, I’ve already decided that we should be the best of mates. It’s not up for debate, this will happen whether anyone likes it or not.
But, killer personality aside, the Melburnian makes some bloody ripper tunes and can spin decks better than Calvin Harris on speed (probably, can’t confirm either way as I’ve never seen Calvin perform on speed but you get the gist).
P-UniQue
Alright, I’m just gonna stop you right here and make you listen to this:
Ooohhh yes, inject it directly into my veins. P-UniQue‘s music has the ability to make me want to strut for the rest of my life, regardless of my mood.
Walking to a pub to pick up my wallet I thought I lost the night before? Fuck it, I’m gonna strut it. Doing the walk of shame? Strut it.
DAWS
Fun fact: you won’t be finding DAWS on Spotify, you’ll have to head over to her Soundcloud account to cop those sweet, sweet mixes – that’s how underground this gal is.
My suggestion is to get in on the action before she inevitably steamrolls onto the music scene.
Dianas
Dianas may be busy gearing up for the release of their sophomore full-length album, but the trio has taken some time to hit up Selfish Saturday with their dreamy garage-pop.
If you’re lucky, they may even play unreleased tunes from their upcoming album. I’m not making any promises and I haven’t confirmed that this is true, so really I’m just spreading rumours I’ve created off the top of my head.
Gotta keep the masses guessing, you know?
Chitra
Chitra has the voice of an angel. That’s an indisputable fact.
There’s something so soothing about Chitra, in fact, that I predict every punter at Selfish Saturday will be floating around the event in a state of unparalleled euphoria.
Keep an eye and ear out for when Chitra and the other Aussie legends will be playing throughout the day. In the meantime, you can peruse the rest of the timetable below:
