Welcome to WAMFest 2018
Welcome to the 2018 iteration of WAMFest. Sounds simple doesn’t it?! The reality is that the combined live
elements, conference and music awards - city and regional - that take place under the banner of WAMFest is quite
a massive undertaking; this year taking place over multiple weeks through October and November. In fact, by the
time you read this some regional events will have already taken place.
Is bigger necessary better I hear you ask? What we set out to achieve isn’t just the biggest WAMFest we can –
it would be quite easy to make it bigger off this base amount of activity – but the critical mass that is WAMFest
draws significant interest from audiences and industry alike. It is this combination of presenting more than 200 live
acts, 61 speakers, 21 conference sessions, and more than 150 one-on-one meetings, and, celebrating the significant
achievements of the WA music industry as part of our internationally recognised awards that makes WAMFest special.
Highlights this year include the legendary and iconic DJ to the UK punk scene Don Letts delivering a keynote
address at WAMCon (keep an eye out for a DJ set as well), the immediately popular Lot Party which along with 28
other venues will showcase some of the best WA talent, the North Perth Party presented with the City of Vincent,
and, inducting the Stems and Dixie Battersby into the WA Music Hall of Fame.
I must make mention of the WAM staff, volunteers and contractors who work well and truly over and above the
call of duty to deliver this event; all those whom are prepared to support one or more elements of WAMFest, your
support is crucial and we love your for it; the WAM Board overseeing and guiding us along the right path; and,
everyone who will see a WA artist or band over WAMFest and go on to become supporters of WA music.
Please enjoy, participate, scream, shout, buy merch, sing along, learn something, learn something else, applaud
success, dance (in the streets or anywhere you like), be inspired, and, take something away from WAMFest that will
stay with you forever.

T H E MU SIC INDUSTRY TODAY. T HE S IM PL E REM IN DER TO STO P, A N D TA K E C A R E O F
OU R OW N WELLB E ING, HAS N EVER BEEN M ORE VALUA B LE .
That’s why this year WAM is incredibly honoured to partner with Healthway to promote the Act-Belong-Commit
message as part of WAMFest 2018.
The music industry has its fair share of challenges, so promoting a message that encourages people to actively
take actions to improve their mental health and that inspires them to live healthier and happier lives is all the more
important.
The festival itself is perfectly in tune with the Act-Belong-Commit message, providing plenty of opportunities for
local artists and music fans to get together and enjoy music in a purposeful way.
Actively engaging in music, whether that’s by learning an instrument, playing in a band, or just heading to a show,
are all fantastic ways to Act - do something, Belong - do something with someone, and Commit - do something
meaningful.
Throughout the festival we’re encouraging everyone to be mindful of how attending or taking part in live music
showcases, connecting with the community, building friendships, and setting goals for the future all contribute to
changes in mood and emotional wellbeing.
We all know working in the music industry isn’t always the easy. That’s why it’s so important that we actively take
steps to stay physically, mentally, and emotionally healthy. Act-Belong-Commit provides us with the simple tools we
need to do just this, and in turn improve our ability to handle stress, relate to each other, make good choices, and
enjoy life more!
WAYS YOU C A N ACT-BELO NG- CO M M I T AT WA M FE ST 2 01 8
ACT: Play music, enjoy a live show, dance, have fun!
BELONG: Meet up with friends, build new relationships, be part of the community, talk and laugh together.
COMMIT: Make plans, learn something new, be inspired, set goals for the future.

2 01 8 HALL OF FA ME I NDUCTEES
We’re also honoured to welcome two new Hall of Fame inductees this year; a huge congratulations to Dixie
Battersby and The Stems.
DI XI E BAT TE R SBY
From humble beginnings working at Thompsons Record store in Perth city in the late 70’s, Dixie Battersby formed
friendships with bands who frequented the shop which would be the founding relationships of her impressive
career to come. Her early acquaintances with bands, particularly The Triffids saw it take little time at all for Dixie to
land a job working at the prestigious EMI in 1983 for which she still contracts. In 2013 Dixie formed DB publicity, her
stand alone publicity agency and during her career she has executed publicity campaigns for the likes of Katy Perry,
The Beatles, 360, Angus & Julia Stone, 5 Seconds Of Summer, Sam Smith, Alison Wonderland, Something For Kate,
Troye Sivan, Beck, The Kooks, Arctic Monkeys, Franz Ferdinand, Empire Of The Sun, Paul Kelly, Crowded House,
Neil and Tim Finn, Little Birdy, Silverchair, Missy Higgins, Kasey Chambers, The Living End, Sleepy Jackson, John
Williamson, Bob Evans, Paul Dempsey, The Avalanches, Olympia, Keith Urban, Banks, Sarah Blasko and many more.
TH E STEM S
The Stems epitomized 80’s indie rock, giving it a wider currency. They are one of only a handful of bands (among
them the Hoodoo Gurus and The Sunnyboys) that cracked the mainstream charts with an indie approach in the
80’s. The band released a series of independent records on Sydney’s Citadel Records with each release reaching #1
on the Australian alternative charts. But it was their debut album, released on Mushroom records, AT FIRST SIGHT
VIOLETS ARE BLUE in 1987 that received national and international acclaim becoming one of the best-selling
Australian albums of that year despite an almost total lack of commercial airplay in the corporate FM dominated
80’s. Rolling Stone named their album “At First Sight” one of the top 100 releases of all time. Appearances on
Countdown, magazine covers, sold out shows were to follow. The band continue to play selective shows to this day
to sold out audiences in Australia and abroad.
