Brisbane Electronic Music 1979 to 2014: The BNE Event

For lovers of Brisbane Music and Culture this is one
of the greatest things to happen here for ages!

This has been a massive undertaking, 
but an incredible journey of discovery. 
Brisbane has always been a unique and 
sometimes challenging place for artistic endeavor, 
particularly with respect to our city’s social, political 
and geographic context and BNE captures the spirit of true 
innovation in the modern art form that is electronic music. 
There are some wonderful stories in BNE,
 but most importantly there is a lot of amazing music.

It was a terrific night. I discovered that the event was on through your blog, Bob, and got some tickets. My 14-year-old son is into electronic music and he was up the front for every minute. Have a couple of photos if interested, but not great. Cheers, Rob.

With only 2 years in which to track down artists and do the research it is likely that we did not include absolutely every artist that has ever produced electronic music in Brisbane. However, it is for this reason that BNE will have future editions.
