EXCLUSIVE: POW! Negro Sign Booking Deal With Select Music Following BIGSOUND Shows

West Australian fan-favourites POW! Negro have earned themselves some big supporters in the industry off the back of their strong showings at this year's BIGSOUND event, picking up a booking deal with revered agency Select Music.

Select head honcho Stephen Wade saw the band for the first time at the Brisbane showcase series, and told The Music: "They are amazing, powerful live, fusing different genres and creating their own style/scene, and will have a big future ahead of them in the Australian music scene."

"I'm looking forward to sharing that journey with them," he said.

The band's managers, Harris Waters and Philip Stevens, echoed Wade's enthusiasm over the deal, with Waters saying: "We couldn't be more stoked to have Stephen and Select be a part of the POW! family. They have gone above and beyond for both Phil and I's roster of artists, and are looking forward."

Said Stevens: "I am thrilled to have Stephen Wade become POW! Negro's booking agent for Australia, New Zealand and Asia. Stephen has been a true believer from day one. Stephen and I have been partners working with San Cisco since their inception; we look forward to the same kind of success together for POW! Negro."

The signing sees POW! Negro join Select's lauded cabal of established and emergent artists, including the likes of Boy & Bear, Ball Park Music, Client Liaison, Amy Shark and more.

It's been a tremendous period for the ascendant WA outfit, having not only earned industry and audience accolades for their Brisbane shows but knocking it out of the park on their debut tour for recent EP Jasmine & Licorice, including a packed-out room at The Gasometer in Melbourne and selling out their homecoming show at The Bird, in Perth.

They've got a new single around the corner, too, plus a stack of standalone and festival appearances on the cards through till the New Year, and the members are evidently enthusiastic about the prospects presented by their new signing.

"Select have a whole swag of amazing artists we respect and who play some pretty dope gigs," they said in a statement. "We're so happy to be a part of an organisation that recognises, nurtures and champions the individuality of its artists."
