Biography

The Afterlife. What comes next? Ex-Olympian is the new musical vessel for Liam McGorry - songwriter & musician for bands such as Saskwatch and Dorsal Fins. Named after the neon sign that adorns ‘Borsari’s Corner’ in Melbourne’s Lygon St, Ex-Olympian reflects the times we all need to shift things forward into a new phase. His debut record Afterlife saw McGorry received additions across Double J and national community radio play from 2SER, RRR, FBi, PBS, 4ZZZ and RTR. Afterlife is a record about growing, moving on & learning from your mistakes; About finding yourself again and making the road by walking. Written and recorded over a 3 year period (in a series of phases), spurred by the want to be more involved in the playing & creation side of music, after playing in larger groups for years. Chipping away on songs in his own studio space for that time, inviting in some friends to play on different songs, & then tied together with friend and producer John Castle. What started as a quest to do more on ones own, became the realisation that music is truly a series of collaborations to be enjoyed together. Musically for Liam, it’s also a return to making soul music. While always being there as an influence, it hasn’t been so overt since the days of Saskwatch. Dream Funk is the official term, channeling heroes Renee Geyer, Arthur Verocai, Badbadnotgood & The Avalanches in with his own songwriting sound. In divisive times, What would you take with you into the Afterlife? Connection.
