How does a $2010 voucher sound?
Yes Factoryites - our now famous Factory Sound Footy Tipping competition is on again. It's the question we've heard more than any others lately: Not "How much are 58's going for?", not "What happened to the Tower of Gaffer", not "When is the rain going to stop", but "When is Footy Tipping starting". The answer is: RIGHT NOW! Get on board...
Stupidly cheap personal headphone deal - Sennheiser
Now we don't really know how this has happened, but we've ended up with a bit of 100 pair of these ripper Sennheiser personal headphones - CX500B. Now, their baby brothers (CX300B) were legendary performers and well loved for both their sound and legendary longevity.
Labour Day in Victoria
For those who regularly perform, mix, lug, promote or support the Australian music scene, we already know that the 8-8-8 split is probably quite flawed, in fact it's probably closer to 12 hours work, 7 hours travelling / waiting around and then a glorious 5 hours rest. The fact that our work is our hobby, and is usually carried out with friends (or at least kindred spirits), means that 5 hours sleep and 19 hours fun is great compensation for complete detatchment from the 'reality' of 8+8+8. Anyway, we're closed Monday 8th March...
SLAM Rally - a mighty important day in Melbourne
On Tues Feb 23, 2010 a huge amount of Melbourne's music and music-loving community took to the streets on the 34th anniversary of AC/DC's famous Long Way to the Top video clip, marching from the State Library, down Swantson St, left up Bourke St and finishing at the steps of Parliament House on Spring St. Factory Sound was lucky enough to interview Jon Perring from Fair Go 4 Live Music shortly after the S.L.A.M. Rally, and here's a quick chop-up...
Whole lotta Hosa
You know that Factory Sound is well-connected; our huge stocks of Canare and Neutrik are bigger than any other store in Australia. But if your needs are less DIY and more NSN (need something now), our recently expended Great Wall of Hosa - it's seriously big now, should get you out of just about any corner you're likely to get painted into.
