ONIERA at Vic on The Park Hotel

ONIERA are a six-piece dreamy indie rock group hailing from Engadine/ Dharawal composed of all members' high school band projects folding then combining into one. Their sound combines lush harmonies, groove-laden jangly guitars and nostalgic textures which put listeners in the seat of the experience of each song. Influenced sonically by bands such as Wolf Alice, Men I Trust and Alvvays, matched with vocal delivery inspired by Daniel Caesar, Dominic Fike and Cage the Elephant. Since 2023 the band has packed out rooms in Sydney and Wollongong, going from a debut DIY show to a Sellout headline within two weeks, with the momentum not stopping selling out shows in Sydney as they slowly expand the rooms as years go on and pushing it out to Wollongong and two national tours. On top of this supporting some of Australia's top acts such as Pacific Avenue, Vlads, Salarymen and Letters to Lions. This year the band aims to release their sophomore EP showcasing the last three years of their rapid and momentous journey and the very best of their much more mature sound from their debut. Expect to be dancing to punchy indie rock bangers matched with shouting the lyrics back at some slow burn emotive dream pop anthems.
