This Friday (9th November), Heaps Decent are throwing a Sydney fundraiser for their ongoing workshop projects, seeking out and promoting new music from young indigenous and underprivileged artists. Their debut release ‘Smash A Kangaroo’ is soon to be followed by a new production; featuring young, female inmates from a Sydney ‘juvenile justice centre’, working on an exclusive production with M.I.A., Yelle and Tepr, recorded while the trio were in town for the recent Parklife festival.
The Sydney party features DJ sets from Bag Raiders, Soft Tigers, teenagersintokyo, Heaps Decent honchos Sleater Brockman and NinaLasVegas, plus Catcall, Spod and heaps more. Like most of the participants, I’ll be dropping a short, sharp 20 minute set at some point during the evening. It all happens at Oxford Art Factory in Darlinghurst and door tax is only five bucks. Get familiar!
