With Phia Exiner and PunkoMelbourne based singer/songwriter Amaya Laucirica will be playing her highly anticipated fifth album ‘The Blue Hour’ on Saturday October 25th at the Northcote Social Club. Described as “gorgeous classic songwriting in the Forster/McLennan mould” by Alan Brough (Spicks and Specks), the night will showcase Laucirica’s world-class band with Mat Watson (Mat Watson/Underground Lovers Moda Discoteca) on drums and Matt Sigley (Underground Lovers/The Lovetones) plus special guests.
The Blue Hour is Laucirica’s compelling meditation on the nuances of motherhood, identity, acceptance and connection. All of which comes together on its centrepiece single, ‘Now or Never’ – a sonic articulation of the moment when the sun breaks the blue morning light and the world becomes clear again.
“It’s about inhabiting an optimistic landscape. One that looks brightly towards the future and appreciates its past as well.

Phia Exiner
Phia Exiner is a composer, musician and songwriter of unusual breadth. Originally training as a jazz pianist, she achieved a cult following during her time living in Europe with her unique use of the kalimba (thumb piano) accompanied by loop and effect pedals. Since returning to Melbourne, Australia she has founded and creatively directs 500 piece choir Melbourne Indie Voices as well as composing and arranging for film and television and releasing two albums under her own name. Her recently released third album, When I'm Holding You, I'm Holding Me was written in the brief snatches of time when her son napped in the year after his birth, through sleep deprivation and the deepening understanding of herself as she grew into becoming a mother.

Punko’s latest body of work explores the spectrum of isolation and connection, bodies of water, the esoteric and evokes a feeling of fertile new-life energy.
