Ex-Olympian is the new musical vessel for Liam McGorry, songwriter & multi-instrumentalist for bands such as Saskwatch and Dorsal Fins. Named after the neon sign that adorns 'Borsari's Corner' in Melbourne's Lygon St, Ex-Olympian also reflects those times we all need to shift things forward into a new phase. Musically, things are shifting gears too, with debut single Voices in My Head, Liam's vocal debut. 'Dream Funk' is the official moniker for Liam's music (as coined by Northside Records' head-honcho Chris Gill). With a focus on soaring melodies and lush arrangements, it takes cues from the music of heroes Rene Geyer, The Avalanches, Arthur Verocai and Badbadnotgood.
