Grad Sessions II ft: Astral Collective, Jessie Liu, Kate Robinson, Hannah Vella, Sammy Murphy & The Heartstrings

Broke? Confused? Touch Starved? Dying for some relatability? 2024 Monash Uni music graduates have got you covered,  we’re bringing you a night of music as wildly diverse as your average music student’s Spotify playlist—except with fewer mid-lecture Lo-fi beats and way more live chaos.

Kicking off the night, Astral Collective will set the tone with their lush, groove-heavy instrumental fusion—a masterclass in sonic exploration that screams, "Music degree well spent." Next, Jessie Liu, a balladeer of belonging, will take us on a tender journey through quarter-life musings.

Kate Robinson follows, delivering her signature folk-indie pop blend that feels like a warm hug and a heartfelt chat all in one. Then, from the sea to the city, Hannah Vella will serenade us with syrupy vocals, gritty guitar, and lyrics that leave you nostalgic for first kisses and identity crises alike.

Hold onto your bell-bottoms as Sammy Murphy cranks up the energy with brassy charisma and sultry grooves—a fever dream of overdriven guitar and unapologetic sass. Closing the night, The Heartstrings will transport us with their nostalgic pop and vintage rock vocals, leaving everyone in a trance-inducing haze.

This lineup? Unhinged. The vibes? Immaculate. See you there!
