Meet RVG, the Melbourne post-punks redefining the indie guitar hero with $5 Partscasters and Kate Bush’s acoustic guitar

RVG guitarist Romy Vagar

“I think it’s quite Freudian, really,” says guitarist/vocalist Romy Vagar. “I used to smoke a lot. I have trouble not doing things with my hands all the time.
