Magnets (Matinee)

MAGNETS is the sparkling indie-pop project of multidisciplinary artist and disability advocate, Siobhan McGinnity. In 2023, she made a powerful return with her pop-rock anthem "Down,” appearing on "Best Of" lists from Rolling Stone to rage ABC. Shimmering singles "Speak" and "All About You" followed, earning praise from triple j unearthed, ABC breakfast, and a shortlist at the Berlin Music Video Awards.

MAGNETS' forthcoming debut album, DIPLACUSIS, premieres November 1, 2024. Produced by ARIA-nominee Terry Mann and funded by Creative Victoria, the indie-pop LP delves into themes of disability and self-acceptance. Drawing equally from her classical training as her love of pop, MAGNETS has crafted a sound uniquely her own—layered in harmonies, addictive melodies, and the occasional burst of classical piano in 15/4 time.

This show is proudly sponsored by Creative Victoria in celebration of International Day of Persons with Disability and MAGNETS debut album. Featuring an incredible all disabled line-up, including Women in Music Emerging Artist finalist, Mathilde Anne, autistic poet and writer, Alex Creece, and Music Victoria Amplify nominee, Naavikaran (DJ).
