RTRFM’s RADIOTHON PARTY RETURNS IN 2023, TAKING OVER NORTHBRIDGE ON 12 AUGUST FOR ITS ANNUAL, CITY-SHAKING CELEBRATION
RTRFM’s major fundraising campaign Radiothon kicks off with a bang in 2023, as the local community station celebrates its most important time of the year with a four-venue, six-stage takeover of Northbridge on Saturday 12 August.
Local bands and DJ collectives descend on The Bird, Ezra Pound, The Rechabite and Astral Weeks to mark the beginning of RTRFM’s essential, annual subscriber drive with the Radiothon Party 2023.
Storming the main hall at The Rechabite are a selection of some of the city’s finest acts. Catch sets from punk rockers Nervous, the post punk of Moyamoya, the raucous and in-your-face noise of Last Quokka, the magic of Grunge Barbie and the multi-genre vibes of Lazer Gator.Plus catch DJs from Burn the Airwaves in-between bands and into the night.
On the Hello Rooftop and Goodwill Club, the team from Ningaloo Recrods take over with fun time sets from Gratts (Belguim), Reb and Josh Grainger b2b Danial Dalton. And in the Goodwill Basement we go drum and bass, garage and beats with Jaise, LaLa, Manikin and Krypsis.
At The Bird you can enjoy the magical folk of Catherine Traicos, Happenings and Anna Schneider, plus the experimental sounds of Pale Ribbons Tossed in the Dark and the trip-hop world of Echo Omen.
Next door at Ezra Pound (with free entry this year), check out DJ sets from some of the youngest and freshest DJs in town, including DJ Folly, Curlisu, Grace and Portia and Tara C, as well as RTRFM’s Thursday Drivetime team Lee Vixen and Emily Jane.
And over at the city’s newest haunt Astral Weeks, catch DJ sets from RTRFM’s Giant Steps and Black n Blue collectives.
Subscriptions, donations and ticket sales to RTRFM during Radiothon are essential to raise funds for the ongoing operation of the station. Get your tickets early as this will sell out. Gold Subs and Companion Card Holders free. Held on Whadjuk Noongar Boodja with respect to elders past, present and emerging.
