Two Musicadium artists to have Big Days Out
Two of our favourite artists (and previous featured artists on this very blog!) have had a major success today.
They have managed to secure themselves a spot on Australia’s premier summer festival, Big Day Out (BDO), through Australia’s youth radio network, Triple J and their Unearthed Competition.
Brisbane’s Hungry Kids of Hungary will play at the Gold Coast BDO and Adelaide’s The Shiny Brights will take the stage alongside international greats Neil Young, The Arctic Monkeys, My Morning Jacket, Serj Tankian, The Ting Tings and The Prodigy, as well as prominent Australian artists The Living End, Cog, Birds of Tokyo, Sparkadia and The Grates.
Both of these artists are bands who use their online presence well (The Shiny Brights are also in the Tooheys Extra Dry UncharTED competition, which also secures artists a spot on the Big Day Out). They both make use of e-mail marketing, use their social media profiles well, utilise street teams and have fantastic live shows.
Hungry Kids of Hungary are currently on tour with The Boat People and The Shiny Brights are gearing up for their Southbound Festival appearance on January 3rd in South Australia.
We would like to congratulate these artists and wish them well on the day! Hopefully we will be there at the Gold Coast Big Day Out to report back on how the Hungry Kids went!
