Shakafest Focus: Ivey

More Ivey Ivey Profile

Answered by: Lachlan McGuffie.

Sum up your musical sound in four words? Adolescent ocean-pop?

What's the best thing about the Gold Coast scene? The quality. The scene is so small, but the scene is filled with quality artists that are blowing up like Lastlings, Peach Fur, Lotus Ship, Von Villians and more.

Who are you keen to check out at Shakafest? Really keen to see The Vanns kill it on a big stage, they're good friends of ours from down south and they put on such a good show. And all of our friends too!

Will we be seeing you on the half-pipe? Hahahaha definitely not, you might catch me taking a few sneaky photos though. My brother Matt (also the drummer) is a good surfer, so I might push him onto the ramp haha!

If you had a tag, what would it be? I hope this means graffiti tag. My personal one would definitely be in pink and just read LCM, that's my initials. Simple, straight-up and to the point, none of that fancy stuff.

When's the last time you threw up a shaka? I think it was definitely on the Elsewhere (best place on the Gold Coast) dancefloor on Sunday night, I just chucked up a shaka at my best mate Jack as we boogied away.

When and where can we catch your set at Shakafest? We're playing third on the main stage. Right after White Blanks!
