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.

10 years down the track, Victoriana Gaye have performed nationally and internationally. They have released 6 albums. They describe their sound as soft-core-prog!

Comparisons made......
‘Patti Smith meets The Seekers’...
‘Herb Alpert meets the B52’s’
and our favorite....
‘Tori Amos meets Benny Hill’.

Cuddlefish are Beth and Nigel, owners of Smith’s Alternative, who occasionally hop up on stage and sing songs. It’s 26 years since they met in the Phoenix and formed a band. Now people meet and form bands in their bar and that makes them happy.
