Edit history

Led by Argentinian front woman Delfi Sorondo and Venezuelan drummer Mario Perez, The Maggie Pills are a fierce outfit who embody the spirit of the indie movement and the urgency of punk, with an intense, magnetic live performance. Founded in late 2019, the ferocious act began a month after Delfi and Mario came to Australia. Their lyrics are stories, speaking to universal truths we all connect to, enriched by and spoken from diverse experiences and cultural backgrounds. Themes centre on discrimination, sexism, destruction of land and the displacement of the rightful owners while channeling themes of kindness, friendship, grief and loss. Their catalog includes two EPs, several singles and a massive debut double album titled “Hope is Risk”. Self-produced by Perez, the album was nominated by Music Victoria for ‘Best Heavy Work’ as part of the Music Victoria Awards 2023 and by the Australian Music Prize as one of the best Australian albums released in 2023.
