Our history
Seventeen years, told as the seven moments where something about the way this company works was different on the Monday.
The long version
Seven things that changed how we work
Not awards. The dates below are the ones where something about the way this company operates was different on the Monday.
2009
One stack and a borrowed van
A beach party at Ada that had no PA three days out. We hired one, drove it down, and the promoter asked whether we did this professionally. We said yes before we did.
2012
The Dzorwulu workshop
The moment the business changed. Owning a room to service kit in means the amp that failed on Saturday is fixed by Tuesday instead of hired again in March.
2014
The first generator
After a main stage went dark for eleven minutes on somebody else's power. We have never taken the grid as a plan since, and we have never lost a show to it.
2018
Line array, and a system tech
The kit was the smaller half of it. Employing somebody whose only job is to tune and stay is what made the festivals start ringing back.
2019
First live broadcast
The Gold Coast Awards, live at eight, from a ballroom that was a car park on the Thursday. Everything we know about show call comes from that night.
2025
Nine trucks and a second LED wall
Less romantic than the rest of this list, and the reason we can now run two festivals on the same weekend without hiring anything in.
From the founder
We have never been the cheapest. We have been the one that turned up.
Seventeen years of this and the thing that has kept the diary full is not a piece of kit. It is that when a promoter rings on a Thursday about a Saturday, somebody in this building answers and gives them a straight yes or a straight no.
