Five Minutes with Meghan Dea from Mirella’s Inferno

Our band is neo-electropop/grunge, where our musical style plays with the delicate sounds of deep luscious electronica over a sweet, rich, organic base. We formed in 2013 and basically found each other through Gumtree! Sudeep our guitarist and I sifted through the various talents on Gumtree before we found our very talented keyboardist and all-round tech boy, Xan Müller, and super cool drummer Rachel Florence. We are definitely a band that people need to experience live because of the dynamic nature of our music and it’s great to see our audience react to it!

2.Keeping Busy

We’ve been busy the last few months, taking a step back and writing new material for our second EP, set for release in May. We’ve been experimenting with different sounds and even travelling to create experiences for our music that will make this EP very different from our debut. Keep an eye on this space!

3.Best Gig Ever

FBi Social 2014 – we played with Albert Salt from Melbourne and Clulow Forester from Sydney. The audience was vibing in a super chilled way and everyone was so supportive of the music – we couldn’t get off stage even after two encores! And as for worst gig… a lacklustre afternoon market gig in Marrickville, the system overheated and crashed. I had to keep singing a capella – an indie singer’s nightmare!

4.Current Playlist

We’re always loving The Jezabels, as they are one of the greatest modern Australian bands. Enjoying the electronic tunes of Apparat and Little Dragon, and currently drowning in Lykke Li’s latest heartbreaking album, I Never Learn.

5.Your Ultimate Rider

Bottled water? But seriously, a good sound guy who can handle the band’s dynamic sounds, foldback speakers that actually work, and lastly loads of reverb!
