Headliners on ABC and ABC iview S1E3 – With the Mundi Mundi festival just three weeks away, Elly-May has decided to send both bands to a local bowling club, for their very first live gig – as a crucial stepping stone to Mundi.
Off the back of the gig, Ben Gillies, legendary drummer from the multi-ARIA award winning rock band Silverchair, has been brought in for a Masterclass, to assist in lifting the bands to the next level. Ella is hoping Ben can help her band with their confidence and approach as his insights from his illustrious career are going to be invaluable.
After watching a clip of yesterday’s gig, Ben feels the band needs to be pushed more because right now they could be any other pub band.
Ben shows James that he can still lean into his metal background and encourages the others to step out of their comfort zone instead of playing it safe. Ella’s band are feeling inspired and united, getting better with each and every practice.
Over in the rehearsal space with Tim’s group, he hopes the unresolved creative differences can be settled with a bit of guidance from Ben. He validates Prairie’s concerns, telling her that what she feels is totally normal – but also, the band needs to find a path where they’re all happy, confident and excited. With a newfound perspective and motivation, Tim’s band feels like they are now all on the same page.
