It's our first birthday! Thanks for being a part of this little project seeking to make Sydney's creative communities more discoverable.
"Music and art can be created more freely when it isn’t treated solely as a commodity by companies that don’t have the creators' interests at heart."
From making fantasy gig posters in Chippendale, to being hailed by NME and invited overseas for tours: The Cannanes reflect on their DIY ethos, how Sydney’s changed over the decades, and their experiences with music communities internationally.
In the debut edition of our occasional Q&A feature, Kirsty gives us an intro to the community that Party Dozen came from, some thoughts on what can help our local community thrive more, and the importance of a broken PA in becoming a great performer.

13 years. 120 shows. 1 living room. We caught up with Nick Shimmin of the People's Republic to talk about creating an alternative space for artists and audience to enjoy a shared sense of community.
"We're in this weird, fluid time in Australian music history where I feel like it's really fertile ground for people who have a really strong idea of what they want to do."
Live music in Sydney is still clawing its way back to normalcy after a bruising decade of lockouts and lockdowns — but there's good stuff out there, and this site exists to help you find it.
