Victoriana Gaye

Mariachi Punk Soft Core Prog Pop/Folk that rocks, all the way from all the way from South West Coast, Victoria, Australia.

We don't really 'do' easily definable. And the bands we hire generally cannot be pigeon holed. That's how we like it here.

Victoriana Gaye describe their sound as a quirky combination of pop and folk with a tiny bit of grunge. The couple play a mix of acoustic and electric guitars, trumpet, ukelele, harmonica and sweet harmonies.

A Short Bio of Victoriana Gaye:
It’s primal..... Boy meets girl, girl gets pregnant, boy now man in band tours a lot, girl now woman stays home bringing up kids, woman starts playing guitar and writing songs- waiting for man to return. Woman says ‘hey man, listen to this’ Man gets turned on to woman sound, quits band and together they become VICTORIANA GAYE.
