Cupholder Industries is the side project of @sydneymusicdotnet co-founders @brassicarabbit and @flukazoid — an outlet for their favourite emerging sounds that they’ve discovered from across Greater Sydney. We bring the vibes so you can keep your hands free for other stuff.
The other day Bruce looked up at me with his little underbite and said “those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.” It’s probably nothing tho
BIG WEEKEND AHEAD
FRI/SAT 14/15 NOV
SYDNEYMUSIC.NET DJs
Hey remember us? We're still here!
Your friends at Cupholder HQ have been a little immersed in their many other life pursuits, but we're delighted to be doing this gigantic back-to-back weekend of DJ sets:
• FRI 14/11 @musicboozeco 's monthly CASIO series featuring a lineup practically cooked in a lab for Joe: @g.u.n____ , @agonyintl and @toysaintsband . We're playing between sets and until 2am!
• SAT 15/11 @debaser_events holding their THIRD birthday bash with a launch of their end-of-year review book. Too many acts to list, but Cupholder alumni @12.buck are on the bill. It's a great lineup! Make sure you get there for @half.request
See you on the floor. We'll bring the chaos.

All this and I still can’t get my hands on the @bonnemaman_au Advent Calendar.
Three months healed and more obsessed with it than ever. There is a Meaning, yes, several, but mostly it is just an object that delights me. Thank you to icon/genius/ex-neighbour @zhanaoliviatattoo for executing my silly little idea as only they could (and sorry I still haven’t worked out how to take a decent picture of it) 🫙🫙🫙🏁
My old ass will be kicking around this week seeing some live music in a very chill and normal way! I will also be JUDGING any lanyard-wearers standing around talking over a performance so WATCH OUT

Cupholder Weekender (Days 1 & 3)
Thank you to everyone that dropped in for our little mini-fest!
One roll of film, two days... and a lot of risky shots with slow shutter speeds and chaotic crowds! Happy we got a few memories captured.
