Ecca Vandal
Loud, genre-defying and unafraid to be different, Ecca Vandal is a true original. Born into a musical household that arrived in Australia from Sri Lanka via South Africa, Ecca was immersed in a diverse world of art and music from an early age. Spending her formative years as a jazz musician, Ecca’s passion for the improvisation of jazz led her to fall in love with the DIY abandon of punk and foster an ability to effortlessly balance soulful melodics with raw, unapologetic power. Her 2017 debut self-titled album drew universal acclaim – Rolling Stone delivered 4.5 stars for the ‘vibrant, dazzling collection of tunes’, while NME lauded its ‘absolutely banging, genre-bending anthems’. Ecca brings unrelenting energy to the stage with a history of touring alongside global heavyweights such as Queens of the Stone Age, Incubus and The Prodigy. Ecca Vandal epitomises creative multiplicity – a rebellious and tenacious voice, and the explosive shot of adrenaline that’s needed right now. New music rolling out from July 2024, leading into an early 2025 album release.
