The 2011 iNTune Darwin Showbag line up included 14 Territory bands performing across 3 venues, all on 1 night of amazing live n’ local original music!
The Darwin Showbag is presented by Music NT every year at the iNTune Music Conference in Darwin, maximising the exposure of local artists to a national industry audience.
Darwin (and Territory bands in the region) were given the chance to send in expressions of interest to perform at the Showcase, with 14 selected for the original music program.
This year the Darwin Showbag fell on the first night of the Conference on Thursday August 18, and included the following bands and artists:
Unbroken Expanse, Jasmine Revolution, Erica Owns The Sky, Broaden City, RoyMackonkey, Terracotta Pigeons, DT3, Emma Rowe, Catherine Satour, Jillaine Jones, Danny Ammon, Wicked Garden, Sono & Cynic and Green Stone Garden.
The music covered the alt.folk, rock, indie, ‘prog rock’, acoustic, hip hop, electronic, roots, blues and ‘heavy’ genres. Entry was free to delegates and the public, and was held at CBD live music venues Kitty O’Shea’s, the Deck Bar and Happy Yess.
Over 100 people attended iNTune Darwin from all over the Territory and Australia. Conference registrations sold out the Monday prior, with ‘walks up’ tickets available only on Conference days for $25, where available.
On the second night iNTune Darwin delegates had the opportunity to experience the best in Territory and national Indigenous music, at the National Indigenous Music Awards, held at the Amphitheatre, Darwin Botanic Gardens, Friday August 19 from 7-11pm.
