Stonefield is an Australian rock band made up of four sisters, Amy, Hannah, Sarah, and Holly Findlay from Darraweit Guim, a small town in rural Victoria.[1] Previously known as Iotah, the band won the 2010 Triple J Unearthed High contest in 2010 with their song "Foreign Lover".[2] After the win the band was placed on high rotation and they recorded Through The Clover with ARIA winning producer Greg Wales.[3] Stonefield were an Unearthed J Award nominee in 2010.[4].
The band were invited to play on the triple j showcase at the 2010 One Movement Festival in Perth and so impressed the booker for Glastonbury that he signed them for the world renowned festival on the spot.
In Melbourne, the band performed a month-long residency at The Tote, with their final appearance being to a full house, with many people turned away at the door. They played a headline gig at the Northcote Social Club which was also sold out. They recently performed at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, providing the pre-match entertainment at an AFL match (Geelong vs. Hawthorn), celebrating the Womens Round. [5]
