On Diamond

  • Phoenix Central Park 49 O'Connor Street Chippendale NSW 2008 (map)

Melbourne/Naarm-based On Diamond take an anomalous look at alternative pop. Their sound relies on an interactive group dynamic and is inspired by folk, noise, rock, jazz, and improvised music, with lyrics that are personal and poetic.

On Diamond’s output has seen the band attract critical acclaim including nominations for the Australian Music Prize, Best Album at the Music Victoria Awards, and album of the week on Triple R, PBS, and 4ZZZ. They released their self-titled debut album in 2019, and their second album Melon on the Vine in 2025, both via artist-run label Eastmint records.

On Diamond are known for their open and affective live performances, communicating the themes of their music in real time through sound and emotional immediacy.

Since forming in 2016, On Diamond has embraced an evolving line-up of well-loved musicians. The current ensemble features Lisa Salvo (vocals), Scott McConnachie (guitar and synth), Myka Wallace (drums), Jules Pascoe (bass), and Duré Dara (percussion). Previous members include Genevieve Fry (harp), Maria Moles (drums), Hannah Cameron (guitar, vocals), Joe Talia (drums), and Stewart Taylor (bass).
