Coopers Alive
‘Coopers Alive’ to revive Adelaide’s music scene
The ‘Coopers Alive’ SA Live Music Showcase is a new initiative that aims to encourage local artists to actively participate in planning, promoting and evaluating their live performances, as well as providing an entertaining and creative showcase for all music-lovers to enjoy.
Through workshops provided by Ausmusic SA before and after the showcases, the participating Artists will learn how to maximise promotion of their shows and how to develop a suitable marketing plan. Featuring speakers from Ausmusic SA as well as from the local music industry, these workshops are aimed at giving local artists the tools they need to develop their audience and to further build their profile.
The Coopers Alive events will take over the city on Friday 25 and Saturday 26 July and will feature none less than 12 handpicked local up-and-coming acts spread over 4 Adelaide venues.
On Friday 25 July, the Jade Monkey will host a mix of ambient, electronic, experimental and post rock sounds with Lumonics , Brother Sister and Mr Wednesday , whilst Jive will be pumping out the catchy indie rock offerings from Former Child Stars , Mad Shapes and The Shiny Brights .
You’ll be able to check out Adelaide’s very best in hip-hop and rap at the Crown & Sceptre on Saturday 26 July with A Devil Amongst The Tailors , Social Change and Shadows or you could choose to take in the laid-back folk, pop, blues and roots tunes from the Huckleberry Swedes , The Fiddle Chicks and Cookie Baker at the Wheatsheaf Hotel .
All of the acts selected have been making waves with their various achievements recently and they are all worthwhile checking out in the flesh. Coopers Alive promises to be the perfect opportunity to see some of the great live music that Adelaide has to offer - the only problem is deciding which shows to go and see each night...
