GOOD AS GOLD: A celebration of the Gold Coast Music Scene and a future that’s looking as good as gold!

Thirteen years ago we had this crazy idea to start a music magazine, in print, when print was apparently dying. No publishing experience, no music industry background, no idea what we had gotten ourselves into. 

Blank Street Press thrived for more than a decade, the local music scene quickly got on board and next thing we were launching the Gold Coast Music Awards and shining a spotlight on thousands of talented musicians. Thirteen years and many gigs and good times later, we’re handing over the reins to a new not-for-profit to continue the good work of building a thriving and resilient local music scene, and we reckon it’s in good hands. 

On Saturday 28 November join us from 5:30pm at Miami Marketta for a big kick-ass party and passing of the mic to Gold Coast Music Alliance. Enjoy live local music, auction of memorabilia and band merch to raise funds for the new Alliance and some guaranteed good times.

GOOD AS GOLD will be a celebration of Gold Coast music, the people who make it happen and the legacy we’ve built together, because this was never just about a magazine, an awards night or one organisation. It’s always been about the people, the music and building a thriving and resilient local scene.

So, whether you’ve been part of the journey since the early days or you’re discovering the scene for the first time, come celebrate with us, this party is for everyone.
