AN initiative to get local original musicians on stage in Warrnambool kicked off with a bang last week and promises to go from strength to strength. Last Thursday night’s gig at the Gallery night-club featured It’s Your Thing, Nutshell, The Motorvators and new-comers Post Alluvium. Organiser and Tafe music industry skills course coordinator Lyn Eales said the night,which is scheduled to become a fortnightly event, was extremely successful. Claire Hussey made her debut as It’s Your Thing’s newest member, the Motorvators played a full electric set and Paul Smith picked up the guitar to entertain the crowd between band sets. Ms Eales said the aim of the gigs is to provide a variety of music for the punters as well as giving emerging bands a chance to play supportslots. Former and present Tafe MIS students will be taking care of the technical side of things like sound mixing and lighting, and solo performers will be encouraged to take the stage during changeovers. The next event, scheduled for March 25, will feature Lee Morgan, No Exit and Mix Bowl, which is fresh from recording sessions at Motherlode studio.
