Real to Reel | Foodchain gift to local bands


Not sure how long it's been out there but cam across the Foodchain site today, an initiative of the Perth Youth Advisory Council who promote and support young creative talent. Phew! Check it out if you're interested in getting involved and learn stuff about arts management, marketing and promotion, admin and events management.
A project they've got on the go at the moment is the 'Real to Reel Recording Studio' which looks to be a pop-up gig to showcase and capture the efforts of 12 local bands. Drop by the studio around midday to see the recording happening. You can even download the tracks they record for free! The programme runs between December 18 and 23.
