On September 10-13, Indie Shuffle will be represented for the first time at this year's
BIGSOUND conference -- Australia's most important music industry event. Put on by
QMusic, local and international delegates converge on Brisbane's Fortitude Valley to discuss all things music by day, and enjoy a plethora of local acts perform showcases by night.
BIGSOUND Live 2013 will have 120 bands performing in 12 venues for one of the most exciting industry festivals and showcases in the Southern Hemisphere; it's similar to the format employed at SXSW or Canadian Music Week. From this huge list of incredible acts, I've performed the impossible: selecting my Top 5 acts to watch over the two nights (for those of you heading along, or those who just want a playlist of some super Australian music).

website, or read an interview I did for
Acid Stag with BIGSOUND Associate Programmer Nick O'Byrne
