Thirty Days of Yes is a brand new mixtape supporting marriage equality bringing together some of Australia’s finest musicians including Beaches, Body Type, Cub Sport, Courtney Barnett, DARTS, Fortunes., Hockey Dad, Jen Cloher, Jess Ribeiro, Laura Jean, Leah Senior, Lucianblomkamp, Marcus Whale, Oisima, Shining Bird, Sui Zhen, The Murlocs, Terry, Two Steps on the Water, and more yet to be revealed.
Launching the project are Twerps with their track, ‘It’s Time’, recorded during the sessions that would eventually form their 2015 album Range Anxiety.
Ex-bassist Rick Milovanovic, who wrote the song, explains:
“‘It’s Time’ was written in 2013 during the rise of the Abbott era. The song was a reminder to him and his party that they would not be speaking on behalf of all straight Australians. Most importantly, it was also a message of support to the LGBTIQ+ community, that a lot of straight Australians would be right by their side in the fight for equality in this country.”
The Thirty Days of Yes project will release a song a day across 30 days, donating 100 percent of the profits to LGBTIQ+ Youth organisations, Minus18 and Twenty10.
