Yes indeed. Sundays are a perfect time for us to roll out our Get To Know segment. They give you the chance to relax and unwind with a decent cuppa or perhaps a glass of your favourite fizz and get to know a range of Australia’s (and the globe’s) most exciting new talent.
Today, it’s all about Melbourne duo Empire Live.
01. Band name : EMPiRE LIVE
02. Where are you based? Melbourne.

09. Tell us about your latest release. ‘Memories’ is a beautiful blend of soulful vocals and house beats creating a true summer party vibe. It’s a real feel good track about letting go and living in the moment, breaking free and enjoying who you are and where you are! It’s a true celebration!
10. What do your future plans involve? Writing, touring the globe and connecting with audiences all around the world. We love what we do! Performing live and in the studio. Each live show we do is a party with lots of energy and creating that space allows for everyone to break free, live in the moment and make memories that will last a lifetime. We want to inspire.
