📖 Share Your Musician Story: How/Why Did You Start?
Zac and Laura met at Splendour in the Grass, fell in love, and haven’t looked back since.
Despite having full-time jobs, they converted an old bus (Sisil’s Party Bus) into a home studio, where they’ve been creating demos, recording songs, and having a blast.
With Zac’s experience and Laura’s fresh enthusiasm, they make the perfect team, blending styles into music that’s all about fun, adventure, and living in the moment.
🏆 What Are Your Proudest Achievements or Milestones?
Recording their debut single “Garage Full of Dreams” was a dream come true!
They worked with music legends like Luke Palmer and Luke Williams (Dead Letter Circus) and Ian Peres (ex-Wolfmother) on keys.
Releasing that first single felt like the beginning of something amazing.
💪 Have You Faced Any Challenges and How Did You Overcome Them?
Starting during COVID wasn’t easy – with canceled gigs and limited live opportunities, they focused on creating and recording.
Their passion and partnership kept them going, and now they’re more motivated than ever to take their music to live audiences.
🚀 What Are Your Future Plans for Being a Musician?
Zac, Laura, and Sisil’s Party Bus hope to bring their music to live stages everywhere – and maybe even play Splendour in the Grass, the festival where it all started.
With new music, live shows, and more party vibes on the way, the best is yet to come!
