Due to a variety of factors, mainly illness with event coordinator, no council approval and other issues, the Indie Music Festival is being scaled back to a small gathering that will test run the venue and facilities so that next year we get it all together and successful for all involved. We apologise for the inconvenience.

Want to Assist ? show your support as a Volunteer:
Please Note: Performer application deadline is 31 May each year.
As this is a true Indie music festival no performers signed to the Major labels and their subsidiaries (EMI. Sony BMG, Universal + Warner) can perform under their contracted band name. You can attend, jam or play with a psedonym on the same level as all the Indie artists
We couldn't make it happen this year, but in 2008 The Anketell Indie Music Fest will reserve performance slots for Sonicbids members!
Tip for bands from SA, TAS, VIC, WA & NZ. Get together with another band you know and respect, both apply for AIMF07. If accepted, share the cost of a 1 x van and 1 x car to get your gear to the AIMF site and plan a tour along the way there and return!
3 days across 2 Stages, 2 marquees and workshops make for a great weekend featuring some legends and emerging Indie artists.
Do You Remember:
Woodstock and all the Indie acts that became household names? (you must be getting old).
Sunbury when local Indie performers answered the flood of foreign artists with Australia's first huge outdoor festival with only Australian acts performing? (then maybe you weren't there).
Big Day Out when it was truly only local Indies and no fat pay checks for the big label or foreign acts? (then maybe you no longer listen to or work @ Triple J - sad, but true - sorry "JJJ Unearthed" still doesn't excuse Major labels' high rotation spins on nationwide public funded radio when these Majors already get 90% of airplay on commercial FM radio!)
As this is a true Indie music festival no performers signed to the Major labels and their subsidiaries (EMI. Sony BMG, Universal + Warner) can perform under their contracted band name. Members of these acts may attend, jam or play with a psedonym on the same level as all the Indie artists.
We Are Proud To Support Indie Music
Where Do You Stand?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"The special thing about Sunbury is that there are only Australian bands and yet there is 35,000 here." Molly Meldrum @ Sunbury'72
"You don't need overseas bands. That's the whole point. The only way to promote Australian bands is to use only Australian bands."Billy Thorpe interviewed by Molly Meldrum @ Sunbury'72
"I'm proud I've never had any drug problems and complained that fame sucks and shot myself in the head like Kurt Kobaine" Chuck Schuldiner
"You can't compute or calculate the chemistry that arises when you put together a band.... No one knows until you start working together." Jimmy Page
"My chops were not as fast.... I just leaned more on what was in my mind than what was in my chops. I learned a long time ago that one note can go a long way if it's the right one, and it will probably whip the guy with twenty notes." Les Paul
"Differences of opinion are part of collaborating with another human being. But music is not a competitive thing. I don't want to deal with someone who's in competition with me, I want to work together and make music." Edward Van Halen
"I like to play with people who can play simple and are not threatened by other musicians thinking they can't play. And that eliminates 99 percent of the musicians." Neil Young
"The days of Indie artists are numbered as we have the airwaves under our control and we're not gonna let it go. We know what the public want and by hell we've got the music factory to make and give it." CEO of which major label???? (3 guesses)
"Yeah right, who are these suits that keep telling us it can't be done?" Bob Geldof

Drop by my page my friend. I posted a video and MP3 of me doing one of the hottest versions of “Voodoo Child” that you’ll ever hear.....guaranteed to make you smile! …..and you can download the MP3 for free!
see, in school we were the loners; the rebels. but now we're just analog kids in a digital world, lost and confused. myspace 'acceptance' gives us the appropriate digital 'pep' to keep going on.
Maybe it's because I'VE LOST MY MIND, or just as an appreciation for ALL THE SUPPORT from my many myspace friends, but I'm allowing FREE DOWNLOADS of all the songs on my page.
So stop by and “free shop” my page for the most original, funkiest, odd-metered Hendrix-inspired jams you’ll ever hear!.....you can even download for free my covers of Jimi’s “Voodoo Child” and Stevie Ray Vaughn’s “Cold Shot”.
That's right, 14 songs born of my BLOOD, SWEAT, AND TEARS, served up for not even a single penny....Add the songs to your playlists, or MP3 player, or burn a CD, whatever your pleasure!......ENJOY!
