Coloursound Festival

HELLO HELLO Long time no speak! Hope you've all been well and are treating one another kindly.

but...Due to extenuating circumstances over the past few months of planning it's sad to say that Coloursound Festival 2017 is on the backburner :( If you've been following the Tonebender mini-festival series you'll see that this is not the end, just a little nap to recharge the batteries.

Love and care for you all, take care of one another, give each other a bit of leeway, promote love and light, and make some fu***ng blissful loud noise! Watch this space..

Well there it was ladies and gentlemen... COLOURSOUND FESTIVAL 2016. I can't thank each and everyone of you all enough for coming along and being a part of what was a great weekend.

I'd like to give a huge shout out / thank you to Staves Brewery / Flying Fajita Sistas / The Record Crate / Porterhouse Bar&Grill / Burger10 / Badde Manors Cafe / Sappho Books Cafe & Wine Bar / Nonno Lucio Pizzeria / The Works Glebe / glebe.com.au / Himalayan Char Grill / Bombay Street Kitchen / & Fountain 77 Italian Restaurant - Without you all none of this would have been possible.

Thank you to all the performers and DJ's across all the venues! You're the ones that made Coloursound happen!! (and you all sounded great from what I heard as I ran fro venue to venue!)

A big thanks to Cara Diffey for the amazing poster (message me)

A massive shout out to all the boys @ Merchant Brewing Co. (The official Coloursound Festival Craft Beer Champions!) / Jackson @ Feral Brewing Company (You're a bloody legend and I couldn't have done it without your help) / Andy @ Nomad Brewing Co. / & Jon @ Badlands Brewery - You filled our craft beer bellies with the finest ales around and I hope you'll all be jumping on board for next year!

My everlasting gratitude goes out to Al from Zen Studios for providing Coloursound with Drum kits, Bass amps, and PA systems... it would have been a pretty quite festival without your help. Thank you so much!!

A HUGE thank you to DJ Warehouse for coming in to save the day at the very last minute with a bunch of DJ gear and HEAPS of lights.

& Finally to Lily Austin for all your love and support / to Georgia Daniels for being the biggest sweetie ever and helping out ever day / to Max Tuckey for jumping on board and doing 20+ hours of sound (and more)... you saved me big time! / to Taylor King for all your support and help, absolute legend! / to Ryan, Dean, Rhys, Adam, & James... you guys are the best! Thank you for making some of the best sounds and lending a hand / to Amber Dean Ralph for organising practically everything I couldn't, darling you're a divine being / to Rich for all your coffee that kept me going / to my Mother & Father for all your love and support, this would never have happened without you...

To everyone else I've forgotten who jumped on board and lent a hand, thank you... thank you all so very much! You're the ones that made Coloursound happen. I can write a bunch of bands down on paper, but you're the ones that helped it come to fruition.

I love you all very much and look forward to working with you all next year... yep that's right, COLOURSOUND FESTIVAL 2017 is happening... I started planning yesterday! Though keep your bananas peeled as there may be a little something to tide you over in the mean time ;)

Peace, Love, & Live Music

*****ATTENTION ALL FESTIVAL GOERS & BANDS FOR FRIDAY & SUNDAY (Especially @ The Record Crate)*****

Due to the public holidays on Friday and Sunday, most venues will have to stop serving alcohol and close their doors at 10pm. The bands performing on these days at the record crate have been pushed forward 2 hours to accommodate the changes.

The amended program will be available later today, sorry for the delay, there have been a number (a big number, with lots of 0's) of changes that have needed to be made. Thank you all for your patience.
