Tone List celebrates 10 years

We are elated to invite you to celebrate Tone List’s ten-year anniversary with us!

Tone List is a Boorloo-based label for exploratory music, founded in 2016. Artist run forever, we’ve released over forty albums, put on eight festivals, invited dozens of international guests to play in town, put on hundreds of gigs, produced an opera, hosted regional tours and artist retreats, paid tens of thousands of dollars to artists, and won a bunch of awards.

We cross this milestone as a collective that remain in dear friendship, and which has grown to include a host of lovely people helping us both in the lofty realms of governance and curation and with boots on the ground making shows happen.

We look to the future as an organisation that wants to use what we’ve patiently established to pour resources and support into the underground scene. This show is a celebration, and also an occasion where we hope to garner your support to keep doing this thing.

As for the night itself: we will have lots of extremely good live music from friends old & new, food & drinks, birthday cake, merch, and antics. A warm space that prioritises close listening to the music, and kindness and playfulness between the sets. And weirdness all through-out 😎.

Performing on the night:

Wayang – DJ sets

Mary Rapp & Ben Greene – amplified cello & drums

Sage Pbbbt – solo amplified voice

Clouds Come Rain & Basic Mind – electric guitar & electronics

and the Tone List Family Band & Friends, an orchestral improvisation ft. Jameson Feakes (guitar), Lenny Jacobs (drums), Annika Moses (voice), Josten Myburgh (saxophone) & Dan O’Connor (trumpet), joined by collaborators from across Tone List’s history.

Also taking part:

Josh Wells – photography installation

Kate Makowiecka and Braddy Breadcrumbs – dinner (vegan, by donation)

ACCESSIBILITY

Wyola is accessible via stairs or a lift, through the same entranceway.

We supply free earplugs, some emergency medication (i.e. anti-opioids) and a little box of nice/helpful things like lip balm, mints etc. if you need anything throughout the night.

Mixed seating options are available (couches, chairs, soft furnishings, and floor seating). It’s OK to move around during the performances.

The performance space will be fairly dark and lit with stage lighting, whilst the bar will be more warmly lit. Some haze will be in use in the performance space.

No dedicated quiet/check-out space is available, but we will set up a few quiet corners in the venue, both in the performance space and in the bar.

All of the sets are amplified through the PA system and range from medium-volume electronic/ambient music to loud, raucous and noisy improvisation.
