Hello all you magic humans, just wondering if anyone has come across a Zildjian A 18" Rock Crash with the name NATHAN REARDON and a ph number on it? We had a gig at Bad Decisions on September 17th and it was left behind but the bar can’t find it so we assume it’s been nicked. Cheers!

My name’s Aaron. I built a platform that helps people connect over events and social activities.

Six months ago I posted this: https://www.reddit.com/r/melbournemusic/comments/1sl1r9f/ive_missed_out_on_my_fair_share_of_music_events/

Last time I asked if you’d team up with randoms for a night out, and plenty of people were keen. IMO the event scene is one of the best places to connect with people organically, and this is about as organic as it can get through an app :)

We’re almost at 1,500 users across Australia, mostly in Melbourne and Sydney. There have been heaps of improvements: better notifications, stronger privacy features and a cleaner design. Still not making much money, but seeing people sign up and love it this early on makes it worth it.

I’ve been hunting down venues that throw events to find the hidden gems and live music people asked for, and there’s been some good progress but many more to find.

A number of DJ communities are now on the platform sharing their events, including Outlines Group, Let’s Vibe, Headzy Bop and a few others. I’m always keen to bring on more that want to build real communities around their music events.

I’ve also rebuilt the website with a What’s On feature, so you can see what music events are happening in Melbourne and what’s coming up at specific venues. Communities that sign up are creating channels where people can connect. I’d love more local artists who throw or play live events on there too, but it’s still early days!

This community is great, so I wanted to share an update on the progress

Anyone going?? FFO - NIN, Ministry, Skinny Puppy..

Hello, I'm new to Melbourne and just auto-purchased a resale ticket for King Gizzards Croxton Block Party!!

Is there anyone here who would like to take me under their wing and be my festival/gig buddy?

I'm 27f, from Wellington NZ, I love rock music esp prog, psych, world, stoner, doom... etc....

Have worked in and around festivals for the past 5 years so I know my way around a gig, and have played in bands before, been on tour, etc

I am cool (I think), hate racists, hate facists, hate TERFs, love community, love beer, love music

Please reach out!!

Any local artists vibe with this song of mine enough to either put me on a line up or save this song into a spotify playlist

‼️SOLD‼️

Will take less than FV, just want it gone as I purchased an extra by mistake

Hey folks,

I’m a Melbourne keyboard player and recently built MusoConnect after finding it harder than it should be to connect with other musos.

The idea is pretty simple: somewhere to put yourself out there if you’re looking for a band, gigs, fill-in work or just people to play with. Bands can also list vacancies and find players.

It’s free and will stay free for musos. No subscriptions or fees to use the site.

It’s only just launched, so the community is still small. Thought I’d share it here in case it’s useful to anyone.

Would love to hear what you think, particularly anything that would make it more useful for you.

Cheers,
Tony

Hello! Can anyone confirm if there will be a circular stage at tonight’s concert at Rod Laver? Kevin has done it in all the other cities, but the tickets issued for Rod Laver do not look like they may be for 360 degree stage.

I am DESPERATE for an MJ impersonator (can be not great) to show up, dance to a few songs at my party and leave, no meet and greet or socialisation requirements.

Does anyone know of one or what platform I'd have the most luck with!

Thanks so much :)

Been trying to get my hands on two floor tickets with absolutely no luck lol. If anyone’s selling or knows someone who is, please use my Tixel links. Either date is fine. You’d be an absolute legend 🥂

I'm trying to find someone aged 25+ who could come as a guardian for the Sinner concert, and I was wondering if anyone would potentially be willing to help me out. I know it's a pretty random thing to ask , but I'd really appreciate it.

I turn 18 the day after but they still not having it :(

Desperately want 2x Zara Larsson tickets — either night is ok, seated or standing. Just want to be able to go.

Please consider selling to me? https://tixel.com/u/fatemehm

Was wondering if anyone else is going to APC in December in Melbourne, singularly or in a group and wouldn’t mind an extra person joining for a drink or hangout before hand ☺️
Would love meeting other musically like minded people!

I want to go to the Evanora Unlimited and Show me the body gig at Thornbury theatre however I’m hesitating to buy tickets as I’m underage. I do however have an online fake id (which obviously doesn’t scan). Does anyone here recall if they tend to scan/check ids? Is it worth getting the ticket??
