DAKINI CUDDLE (MELB) + HAZTET (DOUBLE BILL)

DAKINI CUDDLE

In Hinduism & Buddhism, a dakini is a female deity, spirit, or energy that represents wisdom, power & enlightenment. The term "dakini" translates to "sky dancer" or "sky dweller," reflecting their free-spirited & energetic nature. Dakinis are often depicted as beautiful, powerful women, sometimes with fierce expressions, & are associated with various aspects of the path to enlightenment.

Unsigned &  fresh into Melbourne's Music Scene, DAKINI CUDDLE is a future funk, spirit soul, jazz band led by powerful female soul vocalist & visionary artist Ty La Moonchild.  The band come together to create electric & imaginative music, in the hope to expand or enlighten the viewer & leave them with an after glow.  Audience goers say at times that the performances are tight, inspiring & mind-blowing.  As elevated as they can get, they also get deep & ooze a very down to earth nature.  As a group, they are constant;y pushing musical boundaries & developing their style, which is yet to reach its potential.

After releasing their debut single "MOTIF" at the beginning of the year, Dakini Cuddle have been making waves in their Northside Pond.  Excited to release a 5 TRACK EP later this year, a single is planned for release by the end of June called, "PAINT MY SKIN" just before the group leave for their EAST COAST TOUR: "The Journey is Greater Than the Destination" playing shows in Brisbane, Byron Bay, Sydney & Katoomba. It really is part way a celebration & adventure.

As the band is infrequent to the gig scene in Sydney, you'd be silly not to check OUT them out.
