S.L.A.M. (Supporting Local Alternative Music) is a Perth organisation that supports local talent by professionally organising gigs and events to showcase Western Australia's original artists.
Formed by Stevie D, S.L.A.M. was created to promote local bands through gigs as well as through all forms of music media such as internet and radio.
"SLAM kinda started out of frustration from me personally playing on poorly run gigs and getting together with some guys from other bands and throwing some positive ideas around," says Stevie D.
S.L.A.M. deals with all types of musical performances and artists. Besides organising gigs for local artists, S.L.A.M. has also released numerous CDs and a video, all of which provide a great showcase of the local talent from the west coast of Oz.
The S.L.A.M. CD releases are compilations of recordings from Perth bands. S.L.A.M. is predominantly a self-funded organisation, with many volunteers helping out with their efforts and support.
Since the beginning, S.L.A.M. has expanded and grown. One thing is for sure. S.L.A.M. has developed a reputation of aiding local talent have the opportunities to have their music be heard - and this will certainly continue into the future.
