The Merindas - 'We Sing Until Sunrise'
Fresh #Melbourne-based duo, The Merindas are the synthesis of warrior queen, bringing an on-trend style of rhythmic, expressive and beautiful music dedicated to their cultural heritage. Blending their sultry tones and energetic stage presence, The Merindas, accompanied by producer Jake Steele, create an atmospheric fusion of Indigenous, electro-tribal pop sounds in an extraordinary presentation of choreographed movement and slay attire.
The girls had kicked off their national album launch tour in March, intending an April release date, but had to rethink the release after their tour was cancelled because of the pandemic, so June 5 it now is.
As First Nations women, their sweet, catchy brand of electronic pop features Nyoongar language, in a bid to preserve and share the language with the world.
Achievement-wise, The Merindas have supported Craig David (at his Perth show, earlier this year); received a Deadly Award nomination as Most Promising New Talent, won Indigenous WAM Song Of The Year, 2015 and performed the title track to their album at The Aussie BBQ in Singapore as part of Music Matters. The Merindas have showcase BIGSOUND and billed alongside the likes of SLUMBERJACK, Jessica Mauboy, Yothu Yindi & The Treaty Project (who invited them to perform with them in NZ for Waitangi Day) Brandy and Mojo Juju. They recently performed a well-received, stripped-back set from home, as part of Isol-Aid Festival.
