Empress is back! After their year in forced hibernation, the 6-piece collective is ready to showcase what they have been creating. The groove-based ensemble will be joined by powerhouse Elaura, to make for a fantastic night celebrating the return of the live music scene, as well as women in music. Empress strives to create a unique and innovative platform for three-part vocal harmony, composing and arranging songs primarily focused around the power and complexities of the female voice. The ensemble consists of three front-women singing in innovative three-part harmony, supported by synth-based electronic dance grooves. The lack of female fronted bands in the Melbourne electronic music scene is substantial and Empress wants to be proactive in creating platforms and opportunities for young women in this genre. Empress takes inspiration from bands such as Tune yards, Sylvan Esso, Hiatus Kayote and even Destiny’s child, writing unique and extensive compositions in the neo-soul and RnB genres.
