Greetings from Australia,On 15th – 18th October I was fortunate enough to head over to One Movement Festival Perth. One Movement was impressive and something that the west coast of Australia had never seen before: a four day conference, music festival and fringe festival. Over four days, I got to meet with some industry greats and saw some amazing festival performances and showcases.
The One Movement Conference, featured One Movement MUSEXPO Asia Pacific and One Movement – The Independent Times, presents panels, forums, interviews and “breakout” networking opportunities for the industry leaders of today and the future. One Movement Showcase Music Festival showcased more than 80 export ready acts on one festival site over two days in front of approx 10,000 music fans.
Sonicbids was a major sponsor of One Movement and was the official submissions partner. Sonicbids also hosted an industry showcase featuring three great Australian acts:

The Chemist http://www.sonicbids.com/TheChemist2
The Paper Scissors http://www.sonicbids.com/ThePaperScissors
The showcase was a highlight for me. We had a moderate size crowd but it was full of high level industry, including the great Seymour Stein who discovered the Ramones and Madonna, and proved to be very successful.
Me has been asked to play a festival and have some respectable managers on the radar while The Chemist report that the Sonicbids showcase brought them immediate and positive responses from booking agents, publishers and media both radio and print. See some live footage below.
As with any big event,sometimes you have to be forgiving to the organisers with first year teething problems. There was honestly none of that here. One Movement set a standard which will certainly continue to attract the best bands and industry professionals from around the globe… and Perth is an amazing host.
