Led by Argentinian front woman Delfi Sorondo and Venezuelan drummer Mario Perez, The Maggie Pills are a fierce outfit who embody the spirit of the Indie/Alternative movement and the urgency of Punk, with an intense and magnetic live performance. Founded in late 2019, the ferocious act began a month after Delfi and Mario came to Australia and has always come before expectations and routine. Their lyrics are stories, speaking to universal truths we all connect to, enriched by and spoken from diverse experiences and cultural backgrounds. They talk about discrimination, sexism, destruction of land and the displacement of the rightful owners while channelling themes of kindness, friendship, emotional struggles, grief and loss. Their catalogue includes two EPs, several singles and a massive debut double album titled “Hope is Risk”. Self-produced by Perez, the album was nominated by Music Victoria for ‘Best Heavy Work’ as part of the Music Victoria Awards 2023 and by the Australian Music Prize as one of the best Australian albums released in 2023. On May 10th 2024 the band will release their new single ‘GOLD’ with a clip filmed in Santiago de Chile by Venezuelan visual director Diego Homez, and will be launched in a Victorian tour. The band also started to record their Sophomore album expected to be released in early 2025.
