After over a decade of managing artists through a strategic partnership with UNIFIED Music Group, brothers Aidan McLaren and Rhett McLaren, and fellow industry stalwart Joe Miles have gone out on their own and launched Weird Fishes, their new independent artist management company.
In addition to their roles in artist management, the McLaren brothers and Joe Miles are the masterminds behind The Hills Are Alive Group and the beloved Aussie music festivals, NYE On The Hill and Ocean Sounds.
The trio have taken the festivals mentioned above to the 12th and seventh years of operation, respectively, and have booked the likes of The Teskey Brothers, Ocean Alley, Courtney Barnett, Genesis Owusu, Tones And I, Tkay Maidza, Tash Sultana, Vance Joy, Angie McMahon, Royel Otis, and many others.
Plus, in partnership with UNIFIED’s Jaddan Comerford and as co-founders of Red Hill Entertainment, the McLaren brothers were instrumental in the behind-the-scenes functioning of the UNIFY Gathering and Gippsland Country Music Festival.
Kicking off the launch of Weird Fishes with a bang, Miles and the McLaren brothers have secured an impressive roster of local artists, including Pete Murray, Boy & Bear, The Dreggs, Steph Strings, and Boy & Bear’s Tim Hart.
Discussing the new venture, the trio explained, “We are incredibly excited to launch Weird Fishes and for this next chapter in our journey.
