Define your event in five words or less:
Rad bands, good times, forever.
How long have you been putting on events?
Since my first year of art school when I was 18. I ran a student gallery and put on a bunch of pretty sketchy exhibitions. Also me and my housemates at the time ran a backyard venue, which was heaps fun.
What has been your favourite event you’ve put on to date?
I run a monthly art/music/film/poetry/everything night at Dane Certificate’s Magic Theatre in Brunswick. That’s probably my favourite because that venue’s rad, and sometimes Dane does magic tricks. I like magic.
What inspires or has influenced your events the most?
Rad friends who play in awesome bands. I pretty much started putting on shows because I wanted to see my friends play all the time forever.
What do you think a promoter has to do these days to succeed?
There’s a bunch of real good people putting on real good events in Melbourne, and I reckon they’re successful because of mutual support from other organisers. Go teamwork.
Why should everyone come to your event?
It’s free, it’s going to be awesome, and heaps of ghosts will probably be there.
GOODTIMES FOREVER! happens on Saturday November 7 at the Brunswick Hotel, featuring Black Saloon Cowboys, Jacky T, Tolls, Poison Fish and more.
