What is House Party on Wheels?
House Party on Wheels is a large group of musicians, photographers, videographers, web designers and creatives creating mini festivals in people’s lounge rooms, backyards, houses and music venues. If you order a house party with us we’ll bring 10+ bands, food, drinks and provide the clean up.
When’s the gig and with who?
The launch event is this Saturday March 9 at the Brunswick Hotel. With free entry, 30 bands and $4 Schooners (for five hours) it’s going to be a wild day with every musical genre from indie, acoustic soloists, reggae to metal and electronic. It will give patrons an idea of the type of party they can have with us and the bands involved in the project.
When are you doing your thing next?
We have already got house parties lined up with 10+ bands attending each party. We’ll be running another promotional event on Saturday May 18 at the Jewell of Brunswick (lineup to be confirmed).
What do you think a band has to do these days to succeed?
Bands need to think outside the box, which is why, as a collective we needed to come up with new ways for exposure for unsigned bands, while having fun at the same time. Rather than just play to the same audience and friends, the idea opens up free exposure to bands and to new audiences. We feel the industry is a lot easier if all the bands work together, so it creates a large network, while everyone can enjoy the parties together.
Where would you like to be in five years?
We want to build our name and have multiple house parties around the country happening simultaneously. At the end of the tours we are hoping to all meet up in a mansion or large venue and create an even bigger festival with the lowest price possible for patrons.
