Australian contenders Electric Fields have hit the stage in Sweden with a two-pronged mission: Eurovision victory, with a side serve of world peace.
When Australia launched into the Eurovision Song Contest in 2015, we were a newbie country in the 59-year-old competition, where old-school heavyweights like Sweden, France, Italy and UK called the shots.
“If we get that ace in, that is a hundred per cent our Sagittarian arrow, and if we don’t, we just give each other a hug and have a big laugh, because everyone deserves that gold medal, but we are planning on bringing it home to this continent for the first time in Eurovision history,” says Ross. But Ross did not encounter it until his university life when his friends would hold Eurovision parties. “I went to quite a conservative school and I grew up in a quite conservative environment, is the opposite of conservative,” Ross says. “It is full-throttle expression and all rules are meant to be broken, looking into a kaleidoscope of human expression. It was a magical eye-opening experience that just floods your spirit.
