Artists need to get paid. Touring’s unpredictable and inconsistent, and streaming is officially now a not terribly funny joke. Sync (film/TV/media) is one of the few things that can actually help artists pay bills. There is more media content being produced right now than at any other moment in history.

At the same time, music supervisors want new and exciting music — not the same five tracks everyone uses. They just don’t have a clear place to find it. There’s also a real multi-agency government push to get more Australian artists into sync.

With Lazy Thinking Sync, we’re going to try and pull all of these things together. We’ve carefully built a library of great independent and emerging artists, and we’ll be updating it weekly. It’s the kind of music we already program and discover every week through the venue — artists we genuinely believe in — and we’ll be working super hard to get it heard and in front of the right people.

Less average music in sync. More brilliant Australian artists getting paid earlier in their careers. It will also help us cover the cost of our core not-for-profit activities that run at a loss, like operating the venue.

If you want to get an idea and a taste of what we’re doing, have a listen to our sampler — a collection of artists we’re already actively working with here.
