Formed in 2023 Empress + Aces have made a big impact in a short time. They have shared the stage supporting Baby Animals, Choirboys and Thirsty Merc to name a few. Their 2025 single “The Greatest Plan” took out the 2025 Australian Rock song award as voted by the fans at CMCG Rock Radio Canada. Now the quartet is set to take Melbourne by storm at Rock Is Not Dead 3 : Melbourne at The Prince Bandroom on Friday August 28.
In this episode of 50 Shades Of Slaids we are joined by Bec & Nikky and catch up on all things Empress + Aces. We look back at the last year which has been a big one for the band and look into what the rest of 2026 looks like and what’s in store for 2027.
New music is done and the girls tell us about the bands debut album which is slated for a 2027 release.
We also talk about the importance of community and support in the Australian originals scene. Something that Rock Is Not Dead is so passionate about.
… and what’s that ? Could there be a guest appearance during the bands set at Rock Is Not Dead? I guess you will have to come and check it out to see for yourself.
