About musick.com.au
Celebrating Australia's Independent Music Scene
Our Mission
musick.com.au was created by independent and live Australian music enthusiasts based in Goolwa, South Australia. We believe that local music is the heartbeat of our communities, and every band playing in a pub, every artist recording in their bedroom, and every musician chasing their dream deserves to be heard.
Our mission is simple: bring music to the fans. We do this by connecting audiences with venues, tracking the popularity of independent artists through annual countdowns, and building a national platform that celebrates the incredible diversity of Australian music.
What We Do
Track Local Countdowns
We archive and celebrate the annual "Most Popular 100" countdowns from cities across Australia - grassroots votes by real music fans for their favourite local songs.
Artist Profiles
We build comprehensive profiles of independent artists - their history, members, achievements, and discography - so fans can discover and follow their favourite local acts.
Venue Directory
From iconic pubs to intimate bars, we map the venues that keep live music alive. Find where to catch your next gig and support local stages.
Gig Listings
Stay up to date with upcoming shows featuring local artists. Never miss a chance to see your favourite band live or discover someone new.
The Numbers
We're building something special, one song at a time.
Why Local Music Matters
Every world-famous band started somewhere local. AC/DC played Melbourne pubs. Midnight Oil cut their teeth in Sydney clubs. The next big thing is probably playing a gig near you right now.
Local music creates community. It gives voice to our stories, our struggles, and our celebrations. It keeps venues alive, creates jobs, and builds culture from the ground up. When you support a local band, you're not just buying a ticket - you're investing in the future of Australian music.
We believe that independent artists deserve the same recognition and platform as mainstream acts. That's why we're here - to shine a light on the incredible talent in our own backyard.
Made in Goolwa
We're proudly based in Goolwa, a small town at the mouth of the Murray River in South Australia. Far from the big city lights, but deeply connected to the music that makes Australia unique.
Goolwa has its own rich musical heritage - from folk festivals to pub sessions - and it's this grassroots connection that drives everything we do. We understand that great music doesn't just come from capital cities; it comes from everywhere.
Our goal is to expand across Australia, documenting the local music scenes in every city and town. If your region has a countdown or you want to help us grow, we'd love to hear from you.
