Overview
Guy Blackman, Joe Alexander and Lawrence English might just be the brightest guys in the Australian music industry. Each pinpointed a demand in the national music market and went ahead and filled it by making their own labels. Now, Blackman is founder of Chapter Music, Alexander is the boss at Bedroom Suck and English is leading the charge at Room 40. And, in this rare event at Brisbane's Institute of Modern Art, they're all coming together for a public conversation.
Each of these labels boasts a collection of Australian bands you've probably danced to, or at least heard on the radio more than once. Chapter Music, founded in 1992, manages the likes of Dick Diver, Wagons, Twerps and a heap more. Bedroom Suck, based right here in Brisbane, has Bitch Prefect, Full Ugly and Scott & Charlene's Wedding, amongst other local goal kickers, and Room 40 manages John Chandler, Chris Herbert and a few more classics out of Brisbane's South. Ergo, these guys absolutely know what they're talking about when it comes to Australian music.
Entry is free, and the evening kicks off at 6pm. Whether you're in a garage band with your younger brother or want to be the next Michael Chugg, this is a must see.
