Majelen's Mates - Banksya

Welcome to Episode 2 of Majelen's Mates 2026! Settle in for half an hour of raw, unfiltered music and authentic conversation as Majelen welcomes Sunshine Coast alternative folk duo Banksya into the bus studio. Made up of Declan and Laura, Banksya craft powerful, heartfelt music inspired by the rawness of the human experience, creating songs that resonate long after the final note. Filmed inside Majelen's converted Toyota Coaster bus, this episode follows the signature Majelen's Mates format: a live performance, five questions, and another live performance. The duo open with their original song "Wayside" which they released in December 2025, before joining Majelen for five questions that explore the stories behind their songwriting, the experiences that have shaped them, and the moments that influence both their music and who they are as people. They then close the episode with a beautiful performance of "The Weight". Whether you're a long-time fan or discovering Banksya for the first time, this is your chance to experience the music first, then step behind the curtain to discover the people who wrote it. If you enjoy discovering independent Australian artists, intimate live performances, and genuine conversations about creativity, songwriting, and life, you're in the right place.
