Australia’s community radio stations have long championed local artists by giving voice to often the most underrepresented musical communities. Created for and by the people, beloved Melbourne station PBS is dedicated to providing a platform for new, emerging acts and celebrating independent artists. One of those recents gems is mystifying Melbourne band RVG.
Finessed by frontwoman Romy Vager, RVG (the Romy Vager Group) write tightly wound heartbreakers, and their recent performance at Boogie Festival was truly captivating. From an old Preston bank that has been turned into a creative sharehouse/space Vager write lyrics that have drawn comparisons to the Go Betweens’ Robert Forster and Grant McLennan. These are words that will break you.
