Victoriana Gaye Quartet

Victoriana Gaye don’t particularly sound like anybody else!

Acoustic guitar, electric guitar, trumpet and shared lead- harmony singing is the backbone of the Victoriana Gaye sound. The songs themselves are drawn from a diverse and broad musical knowledge, which includes jazz, classic movie soundtracks, reggae, sunny psychedelia and their own blend of indie/folk/rock.

Vicki Gaye Philipp and Jeff Raglus come from Aireys Inlet on the Southwest coast of Victoria and have packed a lot into the 15 years since they formed. Recording 6 albums, ‘Five Songs’, ‘Our Pleasure’’, ’Holy Roll’’, ‘Red Moon Ray’, ‘The Freest of the Free’ and their latest ‘Happy Abduction’.

The Addition of Randall Forsythe on bass and Simon Dawe on drums (both from The Beachniks) creates a fuller, more experimental and positive vibe. They have played their original tunes at festivals and venues in the UK, Europe, Japan, New Caledonia and continue to play locally and tour around Australia.

‘Voices that curl like smoke around each other in harmonies that intertwine but are still individual...songs that talk about feelings found washed up at high tide. Victoriana Gaye are that rare thing; a progressive, sophisticated adult pop duo’. Chris Wilson.
