Dig deep friends, it's time to donate!
Ausmusic T-shirt Day is officially upon us!
It's one of our favourite days of the year here in The Music offices, with the team getting organised, chucking on some laundry and throwing on their favourite Aussie band shirts to help raise funds for the excellent work Support Act does.
Here's who the team are repping today. We'd love to raise a stack of money for Support Act so if you'd like to make a donation, head here.
Sydney
Craig Treweek
Wearing: Yothu Yindi

At 5:30am, when I grabbed a T-shirt this morning, this was the one that was on top of the pile.
Neil Griffiths
Wearing: Paul Kelly
Paul is not only an Australian hero, but he also happens to be my boss’ idol. In an attempt to secure extra holiday leave, I thought this was a genius idea. Please don’t tell him.
Bec Privitelli
Wearing: Cousin Tony's Brand New Firebird
I already liked Cousin Tony's Brand New Firebird, but they quickly became my new favourite band after seeing them play at the Espy last month. Their overwhelmed and incredibly humble response to a crowd that absolutely loved them was really special to watch. Not to mention the show was incredible!
Mark Neilsen
Wearing: Nitocris
As we are coming to the end of the decade it struck me as I was sorting through the pile of my Ausmusic T-shirts that it had been ten years since Nitocris played their last gig, so it seemed only apt to be donning this shirt from said show today. #timeforanotherreunion?
Brad Edwards
Wearing: "Tame Impala"
I cut the name out of an ad in our magazine and taped it to my T-shirt... Parkway Drive was too hard to cut out.
Perth
Dan Cribb
Wearing: Pee Records
Pete from Pee Records is one of the nicest guys in Aussie music, supporting punk and hardcore, which often gets overlooked. Plus, he released some of my music (that's one way to tank a label). What a legend.
Melbourne
Leigh Treweek
Wearing: Alex Lahey
I’m wearing this shirt today to support Support Act and to help raise funds for all the work they do to support members of the music industry that are doing it tough.
Felicity Case-Mejia
Wearing: Body Type
Who doesn't love to wear disembodied limbs on a shirt? No really, this great all-female Sydney band make some rad music, even if they do insist on having sharks in their video clips.
Sam Wall
Wearing: Aarght Records
Antony Attridge
Wearing: 1200 Techniques
Lots of artists have crossed the bridge, only a few built it...
Jessica Dale
Wearing: Kira Puru
How could you not wear a Kira Puru shirt when it’s this good?! (insert flame emojis here)
Brisbane
Lauren Baxter
Wearing: Bad//Dreems
Baddies are killing it in 2019 - Doomsday Ballet is one of my top albums of the year and as for their live shows? Definitely ahead of the pack. If you haven't listened to their Like A Version from today, rectify that error in judgement immediately. Then spin the record. Then go donate some money to Support Act. Then go down to Sally’s Place and back to Harry’s Station.
Megan
Wearing: Hellions
Lauren brought a couple shirts in and this one was pink...
Jacob Bourke
Wearing: L-FRESH The LION
L-FRESH The LION has been a great role model to me for quite sometime now. He is very humble and has such an enlightened spirit. Wearing this shirt is not just supporting his music but also supporting what he believes in.
