Entry By Donation ($10 Minimum)

Three FBi radio shows, New Weird Australia, Unputdownable & Sunday Night At The Movies, come together to present ‘Unpopular Music’ – a benefit to support their station. They’ve pooled their collective networks and gathered twelve of Sydney’s innovative, experimental artists – all of whom are donating their time, with all proceeds going directly to FBi, helping to ensure the ongoing survival of Sydney’s home of new music.

Sydney design crew Sopp Collective have also jumped on board by donating their unique design talents for the event poster and flyer, featuring a unique series of ‘Unpopular Creatures’ – the degenerate ‘yin’ to Yo Gabba Gabba’s ‘yang’.

Mess and Noise today published an in-depth review of the New Weird Australia live show at Sound Summit:

“A picture of the Pope is propped on a ledge behind the stage at Newcastle‘s Renew Church. People drift in from the rain outside and sidle quietly into chairs. Trapped within the cheap frame, bathed in mellow red stage lights, the Pope watches on, fading even further into weary benevolence.

“It’s Sunday afternoon and the church is home to the second installment of New Weird Australia’s artist showcase at Sound Summit. It’s a dry and comforting space and there’s no reason to be here but to sit and listen. No bar, no smoking area, no swelling rumble of chatter.”

Thanks to everyone who came down to the New Weird Australia mini-fest at last weekend’s Sound Summit in Newcastle NSW.

Over three spaces, we presented eleven artists: Lucia Draft, Polyfox & The Union Of Most Ghosts, Brutal Hate Mosh, Go Genre Everything, Kyu, Alps, Moonmilk, Blastcorp, Castings, Gugg and Holy Balm. Special thanks to Grant Hunter for the Arthive event and to Eliza Sarlos, Andrew Tuttle and the Sound Summit team for pulling it all together.

If you took photos at the event, please get in touch such that we can collate them all together.

We’ll be announcing our next show – in Sydney – in the next few days.  As for the next compilation in our series, New Weird Australia Volume Three will  be released in early November.  Join our email list to keep in touch with releases and events.
