G’day Posse Peeps!
You know the old saying about being as busy as beavers? Well, beavers ain’t got nothing on us. If Posse and beavers were on a scale of one to ten in the busy stakes, we’d be at eleven and beavers would be scratching about to get to a three. Aside from relaunching the site (in record time, might I add), hiring an entire suite of beautiful staff members, and signing up some very special commercial partners for a future release, we’ve also been getting cosy with a favourite venue of ours, the Oxford Art Factory. We’re very proud and excited to announce that the Oxford Art Factory (or OAF, as we lovingly call them as we pinch their cheeks and ruffle their hair) are so into what’s going on at Posse that they have generously bumped up their commissions to all of their shows!
This means you’ll now get $2 for every OAF ticket sold through your store! Beavers can’t even get returns like that!
As an added incentive, Posse are sending out the love as well, with complimentary Bandit.fm vouchers to the first 50 people who tell us they bought a ticket through Posse will receive a $10 Bandit fm voucher!
The OAF are near and dear to all of us at Posse, and from the amazing shows and attendances they regularly pull, they are near and dear to the Sydney music scene in general. Inspired by Andy Warhol’s Factory in New York during the ‘60s, the OAF has been bringing the pinnacle of international and local artists to their stage to an estimated weekly audience of over 4,500 people (that’s roughly the number of animals estimated to have died in the BP oil spill as of August 10, to put it in perspective). Unfortunately, like those little marine beasties in the Gulf, all is not well for OAF.
They’ve recently come under attack by certain residents who seem to be blaming them for each and every problem to be found on Oxford Street (and let’s face it, that’s one street that has had to face its share of problems). This battle naturally jeopardises their entire business, especially if Council should side with the residents and impose heavy restrictions, such as an increase in security or a reduction in trading hours.
The City Of Sydney Council will make their ruling on the two DAs OAF have submitted at the end of September. The first application seeks to do away with the requirement for a trial period for late night trade, and the second seeks to allow entertainment during the day.
Oxford Art Factory need our help! Posse have committed to the cause, but we need you too! You can join the cause by clicking here.
