Our Golden Friend & Collective Artists Plot Free Indie-Con Party Starring RVG'S Romy Vager

Two Australian heavyweights, Our Golden Friend (record label and artist management company) and Collective Artists (boutique booking agency), have teamed up to present a free party/showcase for this year’s Indie-Con.

The AIR (Australian Independent Record Labels Association) Indie-Con takes place annually in Adelaide, and the showcase will be held at Cry Baby in Adelaide on Wednesday, 31 July.

Starring RVG vocalist Romy Vager performing a solo set of songs from the band’s Australian Music Prize-winning album, Brain Worms, the party at Cry Baby has also locked in singer-songwriter Queenie, up-and-coming Adelaide artist Effie Isobel, and headliners Coldwave.

Coldwave are three-time South Australian Music Awards nominees who have brought their unrelenting brand of post-punk music to the national stage. The times of performances at the showcase at Cry Baby are listed below.

The Indie-Con party takes place on the first night of the three-day event, which goes from 31 July to Friday, 2 August. The showcase is free to attend, but AIR Indie-Con pass holders will be given priority entry. Indie-Con conference passes can be purchased here.

In May, a bunch of international speakers for Indie-Con’s 2024 conference program were revealed.
