This ‘warts-and-all’ chat was recorded in the Soundbox - a custom-made studio cube built right in the heart of Melbourne on the Arts Centre forecourt, as part of the Always Live program in 2022. Alex opens up about some of her very early live music experiences as both a fan and a performer, some of her favourite gigs, and some of her most memorable music moments.

It was the biggest event to hit Victoria's surf coast, and first-hand accounts recall how ALWAYS LIVE was able to snare one of the world's premier rock bands for Australia's first post-COVID rock'n'roll gig... and it all happened in the regional hub of Geelong. Victoria's surf coast is also home to some amazing live music venues, like the Barwon Club, the Blues Train, and the Torquay Hotel, whose old-school band room is a place where legends are made.
