Melbourne Indies ‘Hold Hands’

Related: Sand Pebbles, Beaches, St Helens, Mistletone, Kes Band, Kid Sam.
Some of Melbourne’s finest labels will band together for “Hold Hands!”, a celebration of the city’s independent music scene next month.
Chapter Music, Lost & Lonesome, Mistletone, Remote Control/Dot Dash, Sensory Projects, Two Bright Lakes and Unstable Ape will unite for the day-long event at The Tote in Collingwood on July 26. Bands performing include Beaches, Black Cab, Children of the Wave, Spider Vomit, Kes Band, St Helens, The Sand Pebbles and Kid Sam. Full line-up below.
Prompted by FBi’s recent financial troubles, proceeds from ticket sales will be donated to community radio stations across Melbourne and Sydney. CDs, vinyl and merch from each label will also be available throughout the day.
Tickets available from The Tote box office.

Woot!
love in!
Nice!
sounds amazing!
damn!
the tote has a box office?
Shoulda had a picture of the offending guitar strap.
if i lived in the relevant city i'd go to this.
Isn't the tote box office in cubicle two?
me too
I thought Beaches weren't playing for a while? Seems they've played a few shows lately.
Not that I'm complaining, except about living in Sydney.
Great lineup and a very good cause. I wonder how the proceeds will be divided up, it sounds like FBi could certainly use the money.
