Dizzy Days Loves Festivals, Disco and Dancing with Fans

"Never play for exposure is a big piece of advice that we've taken... It makes a big difference."In this episode, Harley sits down with three members of Dizzy Days (Aisling, EJ, and Bridget – with Mikaela absent in Melbourne), Brisbane's disco-dance-pop-band, who came together through unlikely connection: a mysterious Facebook post and an awkward audition.The band is a unique blend of each member's cultural influence, but the artists have found cosmic chemistry in their unlikely network. The trio shares their stories through the years, and how they've mastered the art of staying in haunted prisons and national park bungalows to keep within tour budget.They're aware about what it takes to survive as emerging artists: never playing for exposure, making the most of resources provided (airport bikkies), and accepting that being a musician now means being an influencer, whether you like it or not.This episode is for:Emerging bands learning the economics of touringMusicians wondering if formal training helps or harms creativityArtists navigating the pressure of algorithmsDive in to hear about how:You should accept that random friend requestPost-COVID crowds have changedPlaying for exposure doesn't pay rentTo learn more about Dizzy Days: https://www.instagram.com/dizzydaysband/?hl=enTo come to the Woodford Folk Festival: https://woodfordfolkfestival.com/FOR MORE: Harley Breen: https://www.harleybreen.com.auCREDITS:Host: Harley BreenGuests: Dizzy Days (Aisling O'Byrne, Bridgette Dabinet, EJ Carey)Producer: Benny WallingtonExecutive Producers: Cameron Scurrah, Bree Hickson-Jamieson, Jack Tindall, Georgia ShawVideo Editing: Nicholas Haddow, Amelie BarhamAudio mastering: Kieron AtkinsonMusic by: The East PointersRecorded on Jinibara Country#RadioWoodfordia #DizzyDays #AustralianMusic #DIYTouring #EmergingArtists #WoodfordFolkFestival #HarleyBreen #WoodfordiaJoin the Woodfordian Citizens:Perks -- Bi-Monthly emails sharing the ins and outs of the world of Woodfordia and the people who keep the heart beating.- Special invites to special events on site at Woodfordia.
