'Lil Mariko' / Live at Howler, June 7th
WavyLand in partnership with SOFT CENTRE present Lil Mariko for her debut Naarm show
Rising scream Lil Mariko does not conform to one box. Bouncing between the realms of metal, hyper-pop and techno, she has found great popularity amongst the Gen Z Tik-Tok crowd, particularly with her songs “Where’s My Juul” and “Don’t Touch” created with producer Full Tac.
Tomorrow June 7th she takes her encapsulating live set to Howler for her debut Naarm show, where the goal is to pierce her fans ear holes with terrifying screams and cringe-worthy performances.
Thank you for reading this article. Before you leave the page, we’d like you to take a moment to read this statement. We are asking our readers to take action and stand with the BIPOC community who fight and endure the oppression and injustice of racial inequality.
Here in ‘Australia’, Indigenous people are the most incarcerated population on Earth. Countless lives have been murdered by white police, white government policies and this country’s white history, institutionalised colonialism and ongoing racial oppression. Racial injustice continues today under the phoney, self-congratulatory politics of ‘Reconciliation’ and the notion that colonialism is something that must be denied and forgotten, an uncomfortable artefact of the past.
Feeling guilty is not enough. We must take action, pay the rent, educate ourselves and acknowledge that empathy and sorrow for past actions is insufficient if this does nothing to prevent our current reality from extending into the future.
