FORREST RUN + Christian Patey + Ella Fence

Join us in The Bunker at The Imperial Hotel Eumundi on Saturday 23 November when FORREST RUN take to the stage to launch their self-titled 5 track debut EP.  It also just happens to be vocalist AYLA's birthday that day, so this gig is sure to be a one helluva hoot! They will be supported by CHRISTIAN PATEY and ELLA FENCE. 

FORREST RUN 

Consisting of hip-hop producer Judah Winnett, electronic folk instrumentalist Jayke Barnes and indie pop vocalist Ayla (heard on triple J under her own project), Forrest Run are bringing the best of their worlds together, in an exciting new project. Forrest Run are “an intriguing fusion of styles, stemming from the individuals' musical backgrounds” – Little Indie Blog 

The trio spent 2018 refining a live set, and turning their best five tracks into a debut EP, with the help of renowned producer Tim Carr (Matt Corby, Urthboy, Le Pie and many more).  Their first two releases (‘All We Needed’ and ‘Let Me Fall’) both scored rotation on unearthed radio, and reviews from presenters including:

“It’s pretty stuff all round here. The smart production twists, Ayla’s flawless vocal and the sense of everyday drama is great.” - Declan Byrne 

Their third single ‘Summer’ dropped in June, and has already featured on Apple Music’s ‘Best of the Week’ playlist, and picked itself up some great reviews, including this from Caesar Live N Loud:

“I am really enjoying the electronic production which has a captivating chilled out and summery atmosphere… rich textures, sun-soaked guitar riffs and atmospheric touches.” 

Forrest Run have also supported Boo Seeka and recently performed at Caloundra Music Festival. 

CHRISTIAN PATEY 

The euphoric sights and sounds one associates with the Australian Sunshine Coast could easily be likened to the dreamily soulful music produced by one of its most captivating artists, Christian Patey.  

Christian Patey has been joining forces with electronic producers from across the world to create a new, effortlessly cool sound for himself.  

The one man band that is infused with electric guitar, synths, samples and drums together illuminates the room and takes the listener on an uplifting and feel good journey. 

He has collaborated with UK beat-maker Alabaster, well known Brisbane lads Yes You, Jimmy2sox (one half of Flight Facilities), landed a vocal sample/production on Rae Sremmurd's upcoming album Sr3MM' and also had his vocals sampled on PartyNextDoor's album PX3.  

Christian's single 'Is This Real' premiered on Triple J and was added to rotation on Double J, followed by two other singles ‘High’ and ‘Can't Get Enough’, which both played continually on Triple J Unearthed.  

Following a release of ‘Safe To Say You’re Free’ produced by Jimmy2sox, Christian played in support and at festivals with Tash Sultana, Boo Seeka and Tijuana Cartel.  

He has recently joined forces once again with renowned Brisbane electronic producer Steve Thornely to produce his latest single 'Better Way'.  

ELLA FENCE 

Award winning songwriter and performer Ella Fence is a power-femme electro-pop artist who has toured in USA, Berlin, Canada, Norway as well as performing across Australia. 

The last 12 months have been huge for Ella Fence working hard on her debut album, growing her live show and band, as well as a string of exciting live shows including performing at Commonwealth Games Festival 2018, supporting Kate Miller-Heidke and Regurgitator.

Ella's single release 'Hollow Drum' from her upcoming EP has scored her airplay on commercial radio stations Hit105 and Triple J, and was also added to rotation on Triple J Unearthed and 4ZZZ.
