Beggars

“For the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples of this country, Australia Day is not a day of celebration; it is a day of mourning. As the rest of the country gathers together they commemorate colonisation. But for us the 26th of January is a day of sadness, grief, and most importantly, a day of remembrance. It is a sacred day for our people to pay respect to those we lost and to support our brothers and sisters who continue to suffer now.
 
It is also a day to march and honour our survival.
 
We march for those who lived.
We march for those who triumphed.
We march for those who fought fiercely to pass on our culture and our stories.
We march in honour of our ancestors and in reverence of our dreamtime.
And we march for a better Australia.
 
An Australia that is compassionate to all who live here now and respectful to all who came before.
 
The time has come for us as a country to WAKE UP to our history.
The time has come for us as a country to heal and move forward.
 
The time has come for us to change this date.”
 
-       Kahl Wallis, singer songwriter from The Medics

“The Medics don’t simply make music – they move people.” Time Off Magazine

Music is at its best when it’s unpredictable. When it comes packed with surprises, the unexpected. Truly great music has always been about challenging convention, the ‘didn’t see that coming moment’. It’s a tradition that’s at the heart of The Medics – as both people and as artists.  It’s a sound that is all over the band’s stunning debut album Foundations (Footstomp/Warner) as featured on Triple J and includes the singles Griffin, Joseph, Slowburn and Beggars.  

The band’s story started in Cairns, far north Queensland, Australia and has seen their emergence as one of Australia's most genuinely exciting new bands performing at Splendour in the Grass, Big Day Out, Laneway, Groovin' the Moo, Woodford and The Dreaming Festivals. 

The Medics took out top honours at the 2012 National Indigenous Music Awards with wins for Album of the Year and Song of the Year for ‘Griffin and were crowned Best New Talent at the 2013 Rollingstone Awards. 

Kahl, Jhindu, Andrew and Charles are currently working on the follow up to Foundations for release in 2015. (Warner Music Australia)
