Artists want to have their cake and eat it too feat. APEman Dan & KMAY

Joining us in our other studio (shout out to La La Land Recordings South Brisbane) we have KMAY and APEman Dan! As Jarryd says "what a treat", and might I say, yes it was. 

Coming off their latest show at Rabbits Eat Lettuce, we gain some insight on what it means to maintain some semblance of professionalism as a performing artist at a festival (but also enjoy the festivities). 

A lot of hidden gems in this episode even a few music history lessons - so sit back, unwind and listen in on our yarns with local creatives of Meanjin (Brisbane).

Paging Dr Alethea Beetson and Loki Liddle

Paging Dr Alethea Beetson and Loki Liddle

Part 2: Put some respect on their name immediately!

Dr Alethea Beetson - Proud Kabi Kabi and Wiradjuri woman

Hold on let me just mention the title for Dr Alethea's doctorate "How insurgence and resurgence functions in the creative development of Indigenous performers" and yes I will be putting those two letters in front of her name every dang time ! Dr. Alethea's resume speaks volumes in the creative arts industry both nationally and internationally, but we want to shine a light on Digi Youth Arts, which she founded in 2013. A space for emerging Indigenous youth artists, that's making big waves in not only Meanjin but nationally and globally. Also please go and checkout this deadly podcast Couzin2Cousin - where Indigenous musicians from Australia and Canada connect and yarn about music, their influences and experiences. 

Loki Liddle: Proud Jabirr Jabirr Man 

Energetic, passionate, exquisite wordsmith and performer. These are just a few of the words I'd describe Loki, and if you don't believe me go read some of his poetry or listen to his band Selve. Just to quote " I was always a writer before I was a musician", at 17 y'all he decided 'let me start adding music to my poems' and now they have a new EP from their residency at the Pink Hotel Coolangatta coming out later this year (2022). 

Go check out Digi Youth Arts and Blak Social and if you're in Meanjin (Brisbane) please support and go along to one of their shows.

Latest: GOODWAYZ at LaLaLand Brisbane 12 May - 2 June. Tickets here
