The roundtable was a great chance for open discussion between Indent, the council and key stakeholders of the youth music and arts industry, addressing how to increase accessibility, cultural awareness and artistic development amongst Sydney’s youth culture.

This introductory roundtable meeting will be the first in an ongoing dialogue between Indent, The City of Sydney and Sydney’s music and arts community, and will be used to influence policy and to advocate on behalf of the youth centre within the contemporary music industry.

Sat Feb 11 Annandale Hotel, Sydney All Ages (Day show)
w/ Between The Devil & The Deep, Perspectives
Tickets from Annandale Hotel and annandalehotel.com

How would you sum up your band in only three words? Fun, Loud and Humanoid

Who are some of your main musical influences? We all like different styles of music but our main influences are Paramore and Tokio Hotel their two great bands and hope to be at their level of musicality in their near future

If you could collaborate with any Sydney artist or band, who would you choose? Tonight Alive would be a fun to collaborate with, We’re both two bands with dominate female lead singers that would be very interesting to see what we could create

What is your dream Australian festival to play at? Defiantly Big Day Out one of the most iconic Australian Festivals of all time. Its one of our ambitions to be able to play on the main stage.

If you weren’t a musician what would you be doing? Some dead end office job where we complain day and night about our lives.

What’s on the horizon for the band? Any upcoming releases or tours? We have our mini Album debut “DESTINATION” in 2012, we have spent the whole of this year recording and preparing to launch our album. This Album really defines us as Musicians and we are excited to show Australia and the WORLD who we are and what we can do. We hope everyone will enjoy the music as much as we do.

The report is the released as part of an an annual series on the employment and education situation of young Australians. The HYPAF report demostrates two significant long-term trends-that the stability of working life for young people has steadily decreased and Australia’s economic prosperity is consistently not being passed on to many young people.

The key findings from the report include the following:

• more than one quarter of all long-term unemployed Australians are now aged 15 to 24
• since 2008, the percentage of young Australians without a job for a year or longer has almost doubled
• despite Australia’s relative economic buoyancy, teenagers in Australia have higher rates of long-term unemployment than in many other OECD countries.
