Homebrewed: An Australian Music Podcast

Beau Neilson - MyGigPass

This week we’re joined by Beau Neilson to hear all about MyGigPass. MyGigPass is an awesome new initiative aimed at getting more young people seeing live music. The initiative works by offering a platform where venues and artists can offer up free or discounted tickets to shows to 18-25 year olds that have signed up. MyGigPass has been put together by the Live Music Venues Alliance with support from the NSW Government; and in its early months is seeing strong adoption from both venues and punters. We (mainly Cam, actually. Eamonn had internet issues) dive into the nuts and bolts of MyGigPass and also explore Beau Neilson’s journey, including the many important roles she now holds within NSW and Australian music.

Deadshowws - Gnarly Community

Deadshowws are a band with a genre not specified for fears of abuse from others (IYKYK). Connor Massey from the four-piece joined us to chat about their debut album 'You In Colour', as well as their East Coast tour that accompanies the release! Connor tells us about the gnarly reason why they had to postpone their Brisbane show, why he is a hater of his own band, and we also get his take on the current heavy music scene, and if it's seeing a resurgence.

Heavy music listenership spiking with global uncertainty & the Aussie music market slides further in IFPI rankings | Music News

We've got a couple of interesting sets of numbers for you in this one. In this episode of the Music News, we kick things off with a look at the surge in popularity of heavy music in recent years. Attached to this data is the assertion that the state of the world is driving people back to the mosh. Correlation or causation? Moving from spike to slump, we then explore where Australia landed in the latest Global Music Report from the International Federation Of The Phonographic Industry (IFPI). This year's report saw the Aussie market slide further down global rankings; and our modest year-on-year growth makes for uncomfortable reading. We round things off with an age old Homebrewed cloud-yell: Grand Final entertainment. In a win for Australian music, Gomeroi rapper Kobie Dee has been announced as the The A League Men's Grand Final entertainment. This follows the AFL's announcement that Kylie Minogue will perform at the biggest game of their season. We dive into why this is important and where other codes have been letting us down. All eyes on you, NRL. Thanks for listening! Be sure to subscribe for more content.

Toben Music (Tom Josephs and Owen Butterworth) - Going Independent

Owen Butterworth and Tom Josephs joined us in the studio for a great chat about their passion for music making, why they pulled the pin on their band Glydd, and why they left one of the best recording studios in the country. We begin by talking about mispronounces or spelt names, before talking about Toben's journey from music players to music makers. Tom says he realised he hated singing, which saw him lean into the production side. Owen recounts his first session at The Grove, when he exclaimed he just wanted to make music. Now, the duo are freelance and using their expertise to work with musicians both emerging and established. Thanks for listening! Be sure to subscribe for more content.
