For nearly ten years, SOUNDS AUSTRALIA has played an integral part in fast-tracking the success stories of many of the country’s most globally recognised and adored artists. The all-Australian line ups are known throughout the world as one of the key platforms for discovering new talent.
In 2018 the Australian presence will be amplified at SXSW with the launch of AUSTRALIAHOUSE (AKA Lucille on Rainey St); a partnership with G’DAY USA showcasing our most exciting creatives, innovators, artists, and taste makers. Free coffee will be flowing, as Hugh Jackman, Curtis Stone, Matt Moran and some of Australia’s greatest cultural and tech exports come together under the one roof.
Working throughout the week with some of the country’s premier labels, events and brands, SOUNDS AUSTRALIA will be presenting the world famous THE AUSSIE BBQ as well as partnering on showcases at the house with BIGSOUND, Future Classic, Metropolitan Groove Merchants (MGM), Our Golden Friend and Secret Sounds.
Welcoming Blundstone back into the fold as our presenting partner for THE AUSSIE BBQ, SOUNDS AUSTRALIA is thrilled to announce that for the first time, Tim Tam will be on board as well. Luring in industry and audiences with the quintessentially Australian biscuit, the TIM TAM SLAMS promises to present the sweetest speed sets at SXSW 2018. Nightlife Music are confirmed as a supporting partner, sound tracking the venue throughout the week, including artists handpicked by triple j Unearthed.
In another exciting development for 2018, #TwitterHouse will host an exclusive all-Australian showcase, providing a taste of the talent performing later in the week at AUSTRALIAHOUSE.
There will be no better place to find your new favourite act at SXSW than at AUSTRALIAHOUSE.
