Matrimony

1. Matrimony were a short-lived but consequential Australian post-punk band that formed in Sydney, Australia, in 1988, emerging from an underground scene largely dominated by male musicians. The group consisted of bassist and co-founder Zeb Olsen, vocalist Sybilla Visalli, guitarists Polly Williams and Dani Marich, and drummer Michael O’Neill. Drawn together through shared friendships, art-school connections, and a desire to participate rather than spectate, the band coalesced around a DIY ethos typical of late-1980s post-punk.
