Amplifier/Capitol

Best Amplifier/Capitol memory?

We’ve been asked this question a lot and all of us in office always struggle to answer. We’ve been fortunate enough to be part of so many great shows over the years, like The Strokes, Earl Wolf (Tyler The Creator and Earl Sweatshirt), Rise Against and Parkway Drive. One particular show that always comes to mind though is the first triple j House Party not only because of the line-up, but because of the whole team behind the project including the production, management and touring crew. It was such a fun night for everyone involved; something you always hope translates to the patrons.

Metropolis Fremantle

There’s such a vibrant creative scene in Fremantle, why do you think that is?

Fremantle has a tight-knit creative community which inspires and supports those coming up the ranks. It has been this way for decades and the town will hopefully continue to foster talent well into the future.

Newport Hotel Record Club

Tell us about Newport Record Club?

It’s about the record, not the band. Not a tribute show. After two years, six seasons and over 70 shows we’re regularly packing the room each Thursday, including several capacity shows. That’s 400+ punters all singing, dancing, cheering to killer live performances by WA musicians.   

Record Club Roadshow sees WA original musicians coming together to perform their favourite classic albums, live, loud and in their entirety, to a room full of music-lovin’ record fans.

Check out TheNewport.com for all upcoming event Record Club dates.
