The official home of Australian Independent Music, a place for music industry professionals alike, featuring the cream of the crop of Australia’s diverse and thriving independent music sector.

Sexy, souped up dub/trip hop featuring the gorgeous voice of Catie B and the super laidback (absolutely f*cking cool) production of James Mangohig (TZU). Matched with a stunning clip. Top notch independent music. No doubt.

Darwin is a beautiful and fascinating place, an army town with a thriving arts community, a passionate metal scene, the ridiculous NT News Headlines (Man Attacked by Suckerfish!!!) abundant natural beauty, crocodiles, stingers, insufferable hot weather and a ski club. Almost paradise. The pace of life is slow compared to what we're used to in the eastern states but I suppose that's what makes it attractive for the artists. The contradictions and way of live make Darwin an inspiring place to be creative.

Sietta are one of several acts that divide their time between Melbourne and Darwin. The pace of life and the gorgeous hot dry season mean that writing music is a pleasure. But come time for the build-up and wet season, it's time to head south for the summer to a larger and more vibrant music scene, time for bizness.
