Hailing from Melbourne, The Indigos are a new indie rock outfit that are here to stay. Formed in 2020 by like-minded collaborators, Kieran Rule and Arthur Xafis,these two-of-a-kind musicians are putting a modern twist on the great rock, blues, and folk songwriters of the past.
The concept of the dream rider has long been discussed between the two of us so we’ll try not to ramble on too long. The first thing to consider with a dream rider is ‘what is this dream gig that’s providing us such indulgences?’… Of course our dream rider can only be fulfilled at our dream gig: Headlining Woodstock on Max Yasgur’s dairy farm in the Fall of 1969. We have travelled back in time and somehow managed to land a set somewhere between CCR and Janis Joplin, 1:30am on the first night. All of the other artists in the tent are strangely snacky, so let’s start there.
A snack table for all of our dear friends to enjoy from Canned Heat’s Alan Willson to The Band’s Rick Danko. The finest selection of futuristic processed foods at our behest. Nacho Cheese Flavoured Doritos, a Smiths chips packet of each kind (bar-salt and vinegar), those new Shapes flavours that taste unnervingly similar to the thing they’re recreating. All go down a treat for our fellow artists that keep saying their mouths are dry… Let’s fix that.
Whilst neither of us are huge drinkers, we’re at Woodstock, it’s the right time to crack one open. And again we wonder, how would Jimi Hendrix’s Star Spangled Banner have sounded if he had the chance to partake in the indulgently sweet alcoholic beverages of the distant future. As he swaggers into the tent we hand him one of our Mudshake Chocolate Vodka Cruisers, A double-distilled Vodka and chocolate blend. He spits it out, enraged by modern consumerism and gluttony and grabs his guitar, and the rest is history…
The Indigos are showing Australia their extraordinary range as songwriters with their second single ‘She’. Revolving heavily around fiercely intense vocals and fiery guitar riffs, ‘She’ was written for anyone that’s had their head turned inside-out by a relationship and just wants to get up and scream it out.
