To celebrate 8 years of LivewireAU we’re announcing a $1000 funding opportunity to go towards a PR campaign for any future music release. All the details can be found in the link in bio or at livewireau.com/funding.
✨
And to promote this initiative just in time for BIGSOUND we’re also offering a $150 award towards things like travel costs, education or purchasing new gear. To enter you just need to be following @livewireau and comment below what you would use the funds for. Artists get an extra entry for every fan who follows us and tags how much they love you or why you should win in the comments below. The artist with the most tags from different people below by 30 Sep will win (You must be an independent artist and reside in Australia).
✨
EDIT: Just to clarify the $1000 grant is via application. The $150 prize is for the comment competition

Congratulations to Stilla who was selected by our panel to receive the first Livewire Music Australia PR Grant
✨
The independent Naarm pop artist has carved out her niche in unapologetic pop rife with luminous vocals and cheeky lyricism delivered fresh to Aussie listeners
✨
Thanks so much to our panel members and the many extremely talented candidates that applied. We hope to continue to help independent artists thrive again in future
✨
We also want to shoutout @tear.drive who were a super close runner up this year

Attention Meanjin friends! We are looking for a local band/artist to feature on the new season of our spotlight sessions this year - A series of fully produced and recorded live performance videos. Think Tiny Desk but on location. Tag yourself or @ someone who you think would be a great fit and we’ll check them out!

We caught up with sparkling folk pop fairy @serendipitimusic for a heartfelt acoustic performance of her track ‘Kinda F✨ked’ in her hometown hall 🧚

Nestled in the heart of Bundjalung (Northern Rivers NSW) countryside, Serendipiti details this as the place she fell in love with music, and the first place she ever performed originals as a child - so it meant a lot to her to be able to welcome us all back into the warmth of that space for this intimate live tracking.

watch the full live video over on Serendipiti’s YouTube!

Magic team on this one:
Producer/Mixer: @bbutch1
Production assistance/Direction: @calleditvincent

@itsbladehooper is a Meanjin/Brisbane based artist blending raw alt-rock energy with ethereal acoustic textures and lo-fi experimental touches. His music navigates the intimate spaces between vulnerability and intensity, crafting soundscapes that are as emotionally resonant as they are sonically adventurous. Drawing on personal experiences with mental health, trauma, and relationships, Blade channels honesty and introspection into every track, creating music that feels both confessional and expansive.

Chatting to their good friend and resident journo @pipinandtheducks, Blade shared the vulnerable meaning behind the track and his process for the next stage of the project.

Thanks @itsbladehooper for your time and being so open with us! 💚

Ocean Alley lifted the crowds of Brisbane onto its shoulders with the Love Balloon tour at @brisbaneshowgrounds earlier this year ✨

Dive back into the glowing nostalgia of the moment with us in our latest live review 🎈
